WASHINGTON - Conflicting talk from Trump administration officials about"decoupling" the US economy from China is running into a challenging reality: Chinese imports of US goods are rising, investment by American companies into China continues, and markets are wary of separating the world's biggest economies.
On Tuesday, National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow praised Beijing, telling Fox Business Network"they've actually picked up their game" when it comes to the trade deal. US-China trade is actually increasing, after the coronavirus caused major drops shortly after the trade deal was signed in January.
US officials, including Lighthizer and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Steven Mnuchin, have recently affirmed China's commitment to meet terms of the Phase 1 trade deal, which calls for China to boost purchases of US farm and manufactured goods, energy and services by US$200 billion over two years.
Mnuchin, asked about decoupling in a Bloomberg-Invesco forum, said it would occur if US companies were not allowed to compete fairly in the China's economy.
