U.S. trade rep Robert Lighthizer proposes America to require regular touchpoints to ensure Sino-U.S. trade deal enforcement. America has to maintain the threat of tit-for-tat tariffs on Chinese goods for years even though the Trump administration seeks to achieve a new agreement with China to end the prohibitively costly Sino-U.S. trade war. U.S. trade negotiators and lawmakers need to monitor-and-enforce Chinese compliance with the new trade rules. The Trump team aims to eradicate the $350 billion bilateral U.S. trade deficit. In response, the Chinese administration offers to buy $1.2 trillion U.S. goods and services over the next 6 years. Also, the Trump administration has to deter the Chinese government from forcing U.S. tech companies to involuntarily transfer trade secrets, tech advances, and other major intellectual properties such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights.

On balance, tariffs remain an important instrument for the Trump administration to push China to start structural trade policy changes in light of the specific perennial enforcement issue. Due to few major surprises, U.S. stock market indices such as from S&P 500 to Dow Jones and NASDAQ remain steady after the congressional testimonies by U.S. trade envoy Robert Lighthizer and Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
