History

Historical Context

After normalizing ties in 1979 and granting China permanent normal trade status in 2001, the United States moved from cooperative trade talks to a confrontational stance, ending the Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade in 2017 and imposing 2018 tariffs. In 2023, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and USTR Jamieson Greer are drafting an AI incident-notification protocol to institutionalize rapid risk reporting between the two powers.
