Summary/Abstract: China strives to open foreign markets but sets limited access to its own market. The main challenge in this strategy is the current protectionist policy by the U.S., China’s largest trade partner. In September, the U.S. imposed additional tariffs on goods imported from China worth $200 billion. Apart from the introduction of retaliatory measures, China will try to mitigate the effects of the dispute in part by facilitating access to foreign companies. The aim is to limit the negative consequences of the dispute for the Chinese economy and secure the authorities’ positions.
