As the US presidential election approaches, one thing that has become clear is the China approach of both candidates, the incumbent Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who is seeking a second term after losing in 2020. Biden never unwound any of the Trump-administration's trade tariffs on China and in fact, imposed new steeper ones. Brian Coulton, Chief Economist at Fitch Ratings, takes us through this issue and who it might ultimately benefit.
