The US-China relation has been in turmoil as of recent. The trade war gave way to the US-China Phase One Trade Deal which has helped accelerate some opening in the financial services sector. However, as the relationship is further subjected to a lot of strain, doubts remain in the horizon about what fruits will bear this tension and what impact will the financial services sector take. So far, China seems to have remained committed to fulfill its obligations under the Phase One Trade Deal. However, as the pressures keeps rising, many possible scenarios need to be analysed. The US stance with regards to Hong Kong could also have an impact on the sector. In the upcoming future, China could increase the use of the access to its financial market as a bargaining chip when dealing with foreign governments.
This event tries to tackle this and much more, explaining in detail possible scenarios that we need to consider and be ready for.To present a detailed picture of the situation we will count with the expertise of Michael Hirson who leads Eurasia's Group's coverage of China.
