China’s Industrial Subsidies: What Can be Done?

Chinese government subsidies to favored industries and the role of state-owned enterprises, along with the overarching role of the state in the Chinese economy, are at the core of U.S.-China trade tensions and are not addressed in the U.S.-China phase one trade deal, signed in January 2020. Kelly Ann Shaw and Stephen Olson walk through these challenges and ongoing efforts to address them through the World Trade Organization and other forums, including a joint statement issued in January 2020 by the U.S., EU and Japan calling for improved subsidy disciplines within the WTO.
