The U.S.-China Tariff War: A Conversation with Dr. Scott Kennedy

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. Scott Kennedy joins us to discuss the recent escalation in tariffs between the U.S. and China. Dr. Kennedy starts with laying out the current situation, as it was on April 14th when the podcast was recorded, with the Trump administration placing 145% tariffs on China and China retaliating with roughly 125 % tariffs on the United States. Dr. Kennedy notes that this level of escalation is not what many experts expected and explains that many in China believe that the U.S. is using the tariffs to drive the U.S. and China into economic war and to confront and isolate China on all dimensions. Further, he explains that during the first Trump administration, tariffs were used mainly as a negotiation tool, yet in Trump's second term, it seems tariffs are being used in an attempt to remake the global economic architecture. Dr. Kennedy believes that the tariffs are working to boost China's international image and the current turbulence in U.S. domestic politics has worked to change domestic opinion in China on the United States. At the same time, China is trying to cast itself as a more predictable international actor. Dr. Kennedy believes that at some point, there will be a deal between the U.S. and China that will lower or remove the reciprocal tariffs. However, this deal will likely be superficial and will not address the key problems in this bilateral relationship. Dr. Scott Kennedy is senior adviser and trustee chair in Chinese Business and Economics at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). A leading authority on Chinese economic policy and U.S.-China commercial relations, Dr. Kennedy has been traveling to China for 37 years. His ongoing areas of focus include China's innovation drive, Chinese industrial policy, U.S.-China relations, and global economic governance. His articles have appeared in a wide array of policy, popular, and academic venues, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, and China Quarterly. Dr. Kennedy hosts the China Field Notes podcast, which features voices from on the ground in China. From 2000 to 2014, Dr. Kennedy was a professor at Indiana University (IU), where he established the Research Center for Chinese Politics and Business and was the founding academic director of IU's China Office. Dr. Kennedy received a PhD in political science from George Washington University, an MA from Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and a BA from the University of Virginia.

This week we're focusing on a challenge foreign companies in China have long faced: how to deal with the often complex relationship between the China team and global headquarters. We explore this issue with Pierre Cohade, a long-time China executive with experience as president of Goodyear in China and who now serves on the boards of multiple MNCs.  Pierre walks us through some of the classic challenges teams in China face, including getting headquarters executives to understand the speed and ingenuity of the China market, and how teams can work through these issues in constructive ways. He also offers his take on how the pandemic has exacerbated some challenges in this relationship, and how China teams have been called on to support global performance in the past several months.

Fugitive methane emissions in China, with Zhang Jianyu of EDF

Methane is responsible for an astonishing one-quarter of today's global warming, and that makes it an urgent issue, right alongside CO2. But most analysts focus mainly on CO2 and the energy mix, not other greenhouse gases, and those who do look at methane mainly focus on the U.S. or other major gas producing countries. So today, we’re going to talk about a couple of recent EDF reports and scientific articles about methane related policies in China. Our guest today is Zhang Jianyu. Dr Zhang is Chief Representative of the China Office of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), and he is also Vice President and member of the Executive Team at EDF. He helped found the China program of EDF and helped it become the first international NGO registered with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in 2017. Dr Zhang has contributed to the establishment of China’s Carbon Trading System, and has authored numerous peer-reviewed articles, as well as columns, and book chapters. Methane, like CO2, is a greenhouse gas. Pure methane has the chemical formula CH4. Most comes from oil and gas wells or from coal mines. It’s more efficient and less CO2 intensive than coal or oil, but direct methane emissions have a far larger global warming effect per molecule than CO2, with a global warming effect over 80 times higher per molecule (when measured over a 20-year period). About 25% of today's global warming is caused by methane emissions. The IEA estimates that the world’s oil and gas industry can feasibly cut methane emissions by 75%, and of that, 2/3 would be at no cost. China has committed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 and to peak carbon emissions before 2030. Currently (as of this recording on Dec. 18, 2020), it is unclear if that includes all greenhouse gases or just CO2.

A directive issued by the Chinese government before the Lunar New Year called for government and state officials to refrain from smoking in public, using public funds to buy cigarettes or using cigarettes as official gifts. One part of this is to stamp out corruption; but if you read it another way, it's possibly to help deter smoking here in China which costs upwards of at least one million lives per year, with an additional 100,000 on passive smoking. A million deaths mean a million jobs lost plus all the cost for health-related treatment. Yet, tobacco sale also brings in up to 19 billion dollars in tax revenue for the central and provincial governments. So the government has a dilemma: it's got to decide between its own pockets or the wellbeing of its people. But the problem isn't just political or financial--it's cultural. Exchanging cigarettes as gifts is regarded as a sign of respect and pride at family gatherings--none more so than during the lunar new year. Further, peer pressure to conform and smoke when everyone else is doing it makes cigarettes even more popular than ever. - Dr. Angela Pratt, Tobacco Free Initiative, Non-Communicable Diseases Team, China Office, World Health Organisation - Gregory Yingnien Tsang, Current affairs commentator and Anti-smoking campaigner

For the annual Liferay Retreat, I was in L.A. again and took the opportunity to record several new episodes - this one as a nice fireside chat - the first one with a live audience, though they have not been interacting too much - just been in the same room :) In this session I talked with Greg Amerson, the author of Liferay's development tooling. This is one of the first recordings on new gear, unfortunately levelling was not ideal, so it had to significantly be amplified and denoised - bringing some drawbacks in audio quality, mainly noise despite the denoising, but you'll be able to stand it - promised. Also, I hoped to get this out before the holiday season, unfortunately this didn't work out that well for various reasons - Sorry for that, you'll get your late christmas wishes in this episode. Among other topics we talked about: * Greg got his exposure to Eclipse Tooling from being one of the first people to work on the MyEclipse product * The distincion between Liferay IDE (for Liferay CE) and Liferay Developer Studio (for Liferay EE) * The impressive size of the team to have worked on Liferay Tooling until now and from now on. * Greg's current location: Working from the China Office and how he got from Texas to China and the future plans. * The story how Greg found Liferay (you have to hear this - you might even learn your first words in Mandarin) * The difference the IDE support made in Developer Training - and what ideas he and the team have in addition of the current features (please provide feedback on what you expect from developer tooling) * Some of the ideas: Maven, personal templates, Marketplace, remote deployment and debugging * A vision for the stability of Liferay's plugin environment You'll find this episode - and make sure that you don't miss any of the future episodes - by subscribing to http://feeds.feedburner.com/RadioLiferay with your favourite podcatcher.

Whereever you get the podcast - if there's an opportunity to rate it please do so - e.g. itunes currently does not have enough votes to display an average . Also, please provide feedback to the episodes so that I can balance the next topics and adjust them a bit more to your interest. You can do that on my blog or on twitter. I do have a long list of community contributors that I'll contact in the next weeks to prepare some more recordings and mix them with the Liferay Employees as this whole program is not purely about the company people.
