Can cooperation entail conflict? What are the security externalities of changes in economic cooperation? Does increased trade cooperation of the trading partner with another country shape security views amongst citizens in China and the USA?

This paper shows: people in the US and China see trade deficits as a power weakness. Americans who think China will overtake the US view bilateral trade deficits with China especially negatively (this holds for different political orientations and social-demographic backgrounds).
The Trump administration sees trade deficits as “national emergencies”. Ever wondered why people seem to dislike imports? Very happy that my paper "Mercantilism 2.0: American and Chinese Mass Public Opinions Toward Trade Balances" www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Chinese exports to Europe will increase by 6% this year as a result of the Trump tariffs, the WTO says. Meanwhile, trade in goods between the US and China will plunge by 81% and as much as 91% without any exemption.
WTO forecasts 6% bump in Chinese exports to Europe in 2025
With the Chinese and US economies decoupling, WTO forecasts anticipate a diversion of Chinese exports to Europe. #EuropeNews

German and Finnish authorities have taken similar steps, and Belgium is planning to do the same, as the Trump administration removes some protections for sexual minorities.

Four years. I still can't believe we did nothing, as a country, for four years, pretended to tell ourselves that "Every Day is Jan. 6 Now" & the "Republic faces an existential threat," & just let them come back without any consequence at all. What a sad, deeply shameful & unserious country we are.
