Donald Trump’s return to the White House has triggered a US-China trade war. With sweeping new tariffs on Chinese imports triggering tit-for-tat Chinese retaliation on US companies, the world’s two largest economies are locked in a battle of wills testing either side’s capacity to withstand pain.
At stake is which of the two rivals will emerge as the world’s dominant economic, military and technological power, and how the rest of the world will respond.
This exclusive FT subscriber event brought together our expert journalists to assess the effects, opportunities and the likely outcomes for business, markets and diplomacy. Is this the start of a new cold war? How is Beijing recalibrating its strategy? And what are the consequences for the rest of the world, multinational companies and international investors?
