The Sanctions Age
Episode 8: Gerard DiPippo
Gerard DiPippo on the intensifying economic competition between the United States and China.
When the White House recently announced it would increase tariffs on a range of Chinese goods, it used striking language to explain why the measures were necessary. The White House statement claimed that “China’s unfair trade practices concerning technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation are threatening American businesses and workers” and complained that “China is also flooding global markets with artificially low-priced exports.” The statement points to a new dynamic between the United States and China, and the ways in which President’s Biden’s international economy policy considers economic competition with China through a national security lens.
Gerard DiPippo is an expert on the Chinese economy, with unique insights on how Chinese economic policy can undermine American interests. He is the Senior Geo-Economics Analyst for Bloomberg Economics. He was previously a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic & International Studies. Prior to that, he spent 11 years in the U.S. Intelligence Community at the Central Intelligence Agency and National Intelligence Council.
The Sanctions Age is hosted by Esfandyar Batmanghelidj. The show is produced by Spiritland Productions and is supported by a grant from the Hollings Center for International Dialogue.
