Resolving US-China trade conflicts: conditions for trade and investment expansion in the 1990s

Article Abstract:

China should carry out several reforms in order to improve trade relations with the United States, and these are hinged round a move toward a market economy, with less state intervention in the form of state ownership and trade and investment barriers. Trade barriers include non-tariff barriers, such as licensing system, and excessive centralization, which could be eliminated by allowing companies to export and import directly, and by privatizing state firms. The United States can influence China's policies through incentives such as reduced control on the export of technology, though United States companies should realize that the problems faced by China are complex.
