United States Toughen Stance on China Trade Sanctions.


The US has sent a clear message to China that they plan to stand strong on the recent trade sanctions. No high-ranking officials will attend a major China Investment Fair.

The U.S. Embassy confirmed on Wednesday that no officials will be at the event, as the situation worsens between the two largest economies on the planet.

"China needs to make the necessary reforms to end its unfair practices that are harming the world economy," an embassy spokesperson said, speaking on routine condition of anonymity.

"The U.S. government has no current plans for high-level U.S. government participation" in the expo, the official told The Associated Press. "We encourage China to level the playing the field for U.S. goods and services."

"China's return to the path of economic reform and sincere commitment to market-based trade and investment norms would be good for the United States, the world and ultimately good for China," the embassy spokesperson said.

Gundlach was formerly the head of the $9.3 billion TCW Total Return Bond Fund, where he finished in the top 2% of all funds invested in intermediate-term bonds for the 10 years that ended prior to his departure. He was fired by TCW in 2009.

However, the higher figures that are predicted still fall well short of the amount of investment needed every year in order to protect global ecosystems. This amount is estimated to sit somewhere around the $300 billion mark. High yields are driving this interest, more than the green benefits and the ‘feel-good’ factor of these investments.
