Japan-China Business Relations after the U.S. Election

November 24, 2020
4:30-5:30 PM Pacific

In spite of tumultuous history and a strained political situation, when it comes to business, Japan and China have so far been in a fairly symbiotic relationship. But, recent pressures from U.S. decoupling policies again threaten this relationship. What kind of business ties will China and Japan forge going forward, will their dependencies be upheld even with a reduction in globalization of supply chains, and where do those developments leave the U.S. in Asia?
