Partner Jim Zimmerman was quoted in “In Countdown to Trade War Talks, China Ready to Sweeten Deal by Buying American Goods, Source Says,” an article in South China Morning Post, regarding the trade agreement between the United States and China.

James Zimmerman, a former chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, said a negotiated purchase agreement risked violating market rules and could be challenged by other countries.

“The October meeting is to get peacefully past China’s 70th anniversary. The talks will stall to 2020 when Trump becomes desperate for an election-year deal, any deal,” James said.
