Trade Interests Drive Cautious US Response to China Protests: Anders Corr

The United States has given a cautious response to the protests in China over the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) zero-COVID strategy. NTD spoke to Anders Corr, publisher of the Journal of Political Risk, for analysis on how the U.S. trade relationship with Beijing is shaping their response, as well as how the protests affect the CCP’s image among the Chinese people. Corr said that the Biden administration has been weak on CCP because it wants to preserve its $650 billion annual trade.
