2018年CRI US tariffs on Chinese goods to affect American consumers: business expert

 

As the U.S. flames up trade tensions with China by proposing tariff¹ threats on an increasingly larger scale of Chinese imports, as well as placing more restrictions² on Chinese investment in the U.S, U.S. business leaders are warning that the U.S. will backfire at its own economy by adopting such protectionist measures against China. 

For more on this, CRI’s New York Correspondent Qian Shanming caught up with Peter Reisman, Managing Director of the Govenment, Public and Business Relations of the Bank of China New York Branch.  Reisman is a U.S. business insider who has been actively³ involved in U.S. –China trade and investment consultancy for decades.
