Trade agreements with China: Is Beijing a reliable partner?
In the shadow of US President Trump's return from China with new trade agreements, a poignant question arises regarding the reliability of the Chinese regime as an economic partner. NTD News Hebrew, known for an editorial line that sharply criticizes the Beijing administration, publishes a review that casts doubt on the validity of the new agreements based on past experience.
According to the NTD News Hebrew report, the Chinese administration has accumulated a "track record of the Chinese regime in the past" which points to a pattern of treaty violations. Among the key examples, the channel cites the violation of the "Phase One Trade Agreement" from 2020 and "China's long-standing disregard for the rules of the World Trade Organization."
Reporter Jack Bradley listed a series of commitments that were likely not honored, including Xi Jinping's promise to Obama in 2015 that China would not engage in "theft of American intellectual property," as well as the violation of the agreement with the UK regarding the autonomy of Hong Kong, which was supposed to be maintained until 2047.
The review emphasizes that in light of the past, there is a significant question mark regarding the Trump administration's ability to ensure the fulfillment of current agreements with Beijing, due to the Chinese regime's tendency to disregard previous international commitments.
