Quote from Professor Levy

“The recent escalation of the trade conflict between the United States and China was both predictable and unfortunate. It is likely to be damaging to both economies, it will undermine the rules-based global trading system, and it is likely to fail in its attempt to address some valid concerns about Chinese economic behavior.”
