China's is sending carefully calibrated messages to the US, as US president Donald Trump is moving to a trade war, tells economist Arthur Kroeber, author of China's Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know®, to the South China Morning Post.

The South China Morning Post:

Arthur Kroeber, research head and co-founder of Gavekal Dragonomics, said China surely has “an equally specific, but longer”, list of targets ready to go when Washington finally unveils its Section 301 tariff list. 

“The strength of this response was carefully calibrated to send a clear message that Beijing will stand up to the US, but will not try to escalate the spat into a confrontation that could seriously threaten the global trading system,” Kroeber said.
