Drawing from years as a diplomat in Beijing and his current role at the Rhodium Group, Oliver Melton joins Dr. Elizabeth Economy to discuss China’s structural imbalances, three major Chinese initiatives, the difficulties of US-China economic diplomacy and that any effective response to China’s industrial policies requires coordinated action among the US, Europe, Japan, and other allies rather than unilateral American measures.
