There Won’t Be a Trade War Anytime Soon Because of the Wisdom of Chinese Leaders
Yesterday I was in Beijing and once again I was inspired. I have been a part of the evolution there for over 30 years and have continuously been inspired by the system that has evolved so well to produce remarkable people who produce remarkable results. People who have repeatedly and wrongly expected the collapse of the Chinese economy while it has progressively become more revitalized have accused me of not being objective in assessing China’s prospects and leaders. They don’t understand. I wish you could know the policy makers and issues the way I know them to form your own views because there are so many misunderstandings due to lack of contact. Of course these leaders have challenges and have to make difficult choices. However, to the extent you trust my honesty and my judgement, please believe that these policy makers are highly principled, wise, and have great historical perspectives and competence — and, for these reasons, they are committed to having no war of any sort because they understand that one bit of war can easily lead to another and these bits of conflict can easily grow beyond anyone’s control and lead to a horrendous war that is beyond one’s imagination. Of course there is competition and there are differences in values and approaches, and of course there will be tensions and the Chinese cannot be pushed past a breaking point. But, most fundamentally, there is broad awareness of the perils of Thucydides’s Trap (described here) and a commitment to evolving well without war.

5yMy Hope Is that China will allow some American companies to come in and help clean up the environment that has been so totally ignored throughout the last few decades. Industry and Manufacturing has been China's primary focus as they aim to become a global leader but their lack of environmental stewardship has left a legacy of devastating environmental impairment for their future populations. As an environmental professional for the past 30 years I've seen many opportunities to help support this effort, just hoping there's some Chinese companies interested in investing in this push to return vast areas of land back to productive, "clean" use. So many acres of land are being used for agricultural purposes but have devastating chemical concentrations that are affecting the food chain. Economical, technically sound, and cost-effective solutions are out there and so easy to implement, just hoping there's an open door to facilitate this much-needed environmental effort. My partner has spent three years in Shanghai and Beijing and have identified so many opportunities, just hoping they are willing to support American's willingness to assist for the well-being of the emerging population of the younger generation.

5y1,China’s policy makers are brilliant people, and they can push forward effectively;2,Chinese are the most motivated people to change. These two reasons, which is also the root power of the economy, I do not think China will becoming worse in the next 5 or 10 years.

5yRay, China story has been amazing. Just taking an observation from Game of Go, where it took up until 2017 for a computer to beat human vs lets say Game of Chess that Deep Blue beat in 1997. 20 years is a remarkable difference for the smart few to understand the sophistication in thought and leadership skillset this nation possesses. All their goals and principles are driven from "no humiliation from anyone anymore" is a powerful message to drive masses in unity. With regards to US trade relationship with China, unfortunately higher this monkey will climb, the more you will see his behind. And my reference to monkey is US-China Trade relationship.
