Expert predicts a US-China trade deal in 6 months, but the tech war will go on

The U.S. and China will likely reach a trade deal within the next six months, but that won’t end tensions between the world’s two largest economies, according to a political risk consultant.

Earlier this month the U.S. placed Huawei on a blacklist that restricts American firms from doing business with the Chinese tech giant earlier this month, while China is said to be considering limiting rare earth exports to America - which are materials critical in the production of things like iPhones and electric vehicles.

“The technology war is not going to end,” Alastair Newton, director of Alavan Business Advisory and a former British diplomat, told.

He said he wouldn’t be surprised if U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, who will be meeting at the G-20 summit in Japan at the end of June, “shake hands on an outlined deal” that could be finalized by October. “Technology is where this battle is going to be fought out, even if we do get a trade deal on bilateral goods,” he added.

A U.S.-China deal also wouldn’t calm tensions on the trade front because Trump could turn his attention to Europe and take the tariff fight there, Newton predicted.
