Research and Services Related to the US-China Trade War

Xuepeng Liu

Overview Dr. Xuepeng Liu has done extensive research on US-China trade. He has been following the development of the recent trade war closely and sharing his research and expertise as an analyst of the tax-evasion behaviors traders exhibit when they face a sudden increase in barriers. He has published several papers on the subject in top (A+/A level) journals, which have been widely cited in both academic and policy circles. Some are featured on influential academic websites, such as the VOX, a policy portal to promote "research-based policy analysis and commentary by leading economists." Out of a sense of duty, Dr. Liu has presented his opinions at various events and contributed nontechnical writings to journals like China Currents and media outlets like The Telegraph (UK), GateHouse Media (US), and Weekendavisen (Denmark). He suggests a gradual approach to re-negotiate the US-China trade deal, like the US-Japanese negotiations in the 1980s, although its course may be affected by the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Liu also provides professional service to the US-China Business Council and the US Air Force, advising them on trade rerouting/transshipments and technology transfer during the trade war.
