Gallagher in Boston Herald on Trump’s China Policies
Kevin Gallagher, Professor of Global Development Policy at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was recently interviewed on how President-Elect Donald Trump will follow through on comments he made during his campaign regarding trade with China.
Gallagher was interviewed for a November 10, 2016 article in The Boston Herald entitled “Economists Warn of Possible Trade War with China.”
From the text of the article:
“All of the issues that Trump is talking about are actual issues between the U.S. and China, but it’s the way you engage in them,” said Kevin Gallagher, a global studies professor at Boston University.
Although relations with China are strained, Gallagher said, the two countries have a mutual understanding that they are allies.
Broadside attacks on China’s economy, he said, could undermine that.
“They don’t want to be our enemies,” he said, “and if they’re forced to have to engage in that way, that changes the ballgame.”
