US trade policy towards China should be based
on the assumptions that by the early years of nextcentury, coastal China might become one of thelargest economic powers in terms of total grossnational product, industrial output , industrial
exports.
China is likely to be the first country where the
balance of payments rather than the balanceof trade is the key to economic relations.

through trade in goods.

incomes - and an insatiable appetite forforeign brands, China will not import Coca-cola and levis.
Instead such products will be manufacturedin china by joint ventures, by franchises, and byalliances.

Since there is nearly no protection for alicensor or minority partner and little respect forintellectual property rights, a trade policy withchina must establish and safeguard access to
partnership.
Bringing down barriers to the importation ofgoods into China has to be worked on and hard,
but far more important is creating a legal andadministrative framework to enable a foreigner todo business in china as a partner.

Maos flawed vision of a China cared for by
barefoot doctors is as much a travesty today

care facilities and train medical staff.

The measure of success in trade relations withChina is thus selling services rather than selling
goods.
Free trade is not a possible policy at least notuntil not the enormous surplus population from
the farms has been absorbed in urban societyand urban jobs.
Successful service focused trade policy;
engineering, design, healthcare, education,management and trainings are the ones wherethe emergence of China as a major EconomicPower creates opportunities.
