The intricate and nuanced dynamics between the United States and China have surged to the forefront of global economic and political discourse, brimming with both prospects and challenges. As the two preeminent economies, their interactions mold global trade routes, investment streams, and technological progress.  

Looking forward after the Two Sessions, China's economic landscape is teeming with great potential, as new growth drivers propel the country's longer-term development. However, to further revive the economy, China still has to overcome numerous difficulties and challenges, including the debates on the country's local government debt. Concurrently, China and the West are on the precipice of a critical minerals trade war, with the United States having initiated stringent export controls on critical minerals. China has been ramping up its capability to fight back against US export controls. Which measures will China and the US set their sights on next?

Join us for an enlightening breakfast briefing on Friday 29^th March, featuring Andrew Polk, Co-founder and Head of Economic Research at Trivium China. Mr Polk will delve into these pressing topics, sharing insights into the latest developments in US-China relations and China's macroeconomic outlook, as well as the wider implications for business.
