【Pacific Dialogue】Washington Must Stop Witch-Hunt of Chinese Companies
It looks like the U.S.-initiated trade war against China is heading down a dark tunnel with no end in sight. We will need to be patient and get ready for a long battle. Both Chinese and U.S. scholars, media and business insiders have warned Washington that a trade war is going to hurt both sides. But the White House has turned a deaf ear. One of the main arguments used by the Donald Trump administration is that China is “stealing” U.S. technologies. Chinese tech company Huawei has become the second target of the U.S. witch-hunt. Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei responded to a Bloomberg journalist, who accused him of “stealing” U.S. technology. Ren said, “The U.S. has not developed that technology, so from where should I steal it?” The White House has picked the wrong fight. Huawei just happened to account for more than half of the international patent applications in 2018, “an all-time record by anyone,” according to World Intellectual Property Organization Director General Francis Gurry. I had the privilege of visiting one of Huawei’s R&D centers in Xi’an, capital of north China’s Shaanxi Province, back in 2016.

For the Public Good
When the Belt and Road Initiative was first put forward in 2013, few might have imagined that it would encompass more than 150 countries and international organizations in collaborative projects in a matter of years. The initiative, proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping and consisting of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road, aims to boost connectivity along and beyond the routes of the ancient Silk Road. With a view to enhancing both China’s development and its cooperation with global partners, it focuses on cementing links in five key areas: policies, infrastructure, trade, finance, and people-to-people bonds. Policy coordination The number of cooperation documents signed between China and other countries has increased substantially as the circle of participants in the Belt and Road Initiative widens. Italy became the first member of the Group of Seven to sign a memorandum of understanding on the initiative with China in March. Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said Italy is glad to seize this historic opportunity to join the Belt and Road Initiative, with its special geographical advantage in building connectivity. To date, China has signed 173 cooperation documents with 125 countries and 29 international organizations. According to Building the Belt and Road: Concept, Practice and China’s Contribution issued in May 2017, there were only 46 agreements with 39 countries […]
