On May 15, 2018, Vice Premier Liu He of the State Council began a five-day visit to the United States. Professor Zhuang Rui, Vice President of the Institute of International Economics, accepted an interview with the Global Times about this visit.
Professor Zhuang pointed out in the interview that Premier Liu He's visit will help ease the current Sino-US trade tensions. In addition, in addition to the beneficiaries of the two countries, the efforts of the Chinese government to negotiate with the United States will also help maintain the entire global multilateral trading system. The steady economic growth of the two major economies has played an important role in promoting trade in the global market, and the world has also benefited from trade growth. Finally, Professor Zhuang believes that proper handling of Sino-US economic and trade issues will also contribute to the economic stability and development of the Asia-Pacific region.
