How Trump and Biden have failed to cut ties with China


Donald Trump and Joe Biden do not agree on much, but they are of a similar mind when it comes to America’s trade relations with China. They believe that the world’s largest economy is simply too reliant on its second-largest. Thus American officials travel the world touting the benefits of “friendshoring”—or shifting production out of China and into less risky markets.

The number of comments in earnings calls referring to “reshoring” has exploded.
