Cui Fan: Negotiations still best way to end disputes
Cui Fan, Non-resident senior fellow with the Center for China and Globalization (CCG) and a professor at the University of International Business and Economics The latest US investigation into China’s intellectual property policies and practices under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 is not the first of its kind.

He Weiwen: China, US should look beyond trade imbalance
Why was the dialogue unable to redress the trade imbalance? It’s because the current situation is caused by the United States’ position in the global supply chain, and it’s beyond the two countries’ power to change it.
