Sustained weakness in the barometer index was driven by below trend values in all component indices. The international air freight (91.4) and electronic components (90.7) indices showed the strongest deviations from trend, with readings well below the previous release.

Indices for export orders (97.5), automobile production and sales (93.5) and agricultural raw materials (97.1) all remained below- trend although they show signs of having bottomed out. Only the index for container shipping (99.0) was close to the baseline value of 100.

September 5, 2019 US and China agree to restart trade talks next month

The visit to Washington by top Beijing officials is set for early October.

Stock markets in Asia welcomed the news. The CSI 300 benchmark of Shanghai- and Shenzhen-listed stocks closed up 1 % and Japan’s Topix ended the day 1.8 % higher.

In August, Mr Trump ramped up the trade war dramatically with China, imposing 10% tariffs on another US$300 billion of Chinese goods starting September 1. China also moved to retaliate with up to US$185 billion in tariffs on US goods.

In return for a series of modest concessions, most of which had been offered by President Xi Jinping’s administration in previous negotiating rounds, Donald Trump agreed to suspend another set of tariff increases originally scheduled to take effect on October 15.

30 THE CONSEQUENCES OF PROTECTIONISM in the past…

“The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was initially to safeguard US farmers from external agricultural products.

Despite the good intentions behind it, the act did not end up well at all. American imports fell from $1.33bn in 1929 to $390m in 1932, and exports decreased from $2.34bn in 1929 to just $784m in 1932.

The first phenomenon was caused by the higher level of American duties that increased foreign companies’ costs and consequently pushed up the price of their products.

The latter was due to the retaliation of America’s trade partners, who increased their own tariffs on American goods – the subsequent fall in US exports led to fewer jobs in the USA.”

Source: Protectionism in America: An Overview, 2017. 31 OTHER FORMS OF PROTECTIONISM

The Buy American Act (1933) applies to all US federal government agency purchases of goods valued over the micro- purchase threshold, but does not apply to services.

The Buy America Act (1983) provisions are applied to transit-related procurements valued over USD 100,000, for which funding includes grants administered by the Federal Transit Authority (FTA) or Federal Highway Administration.

(Both these have exceptions, exemptions and waivers, namely by executive decision.)

China’s economy slowed from 6.9% in 2017 to 6.6% in 2018, mainly due to financial regulatory tightening in banking activity, and as a result of the widening trade dispute with the US. Further deceleration is projected for 2019 and 2020 (6.2% and 6.0%, respectively).

Reforms progressed in several key areas: 1) strengthening financial regulations; 2) control local government investment; 3) reduce pace of debt accumulation; 4) new FDI law (and revision of the list of FDI entry). The deficit of the general government sector is estimated at 11% of GDP.

If trade tensions escalate further, additional stimulus, mainly fiscal, would be warranted.

The global economy would benefit from a more open, stable, and transparent, rules-based international trade system. China can also benefit from further opening up and other structural reforms that enhance competition.
