"The ordinary people in the United States have benefited from China's rise, not only in the provision of inexpensive household goods and inexpensive electronic goods, but also in terms of interest rates, because China buys U.S. debt, and the extent of China's purchase of U.S. debt has kept interest rates down."

The U.S. government's policy against China is not a functional way to realize its goals, according to Steven Goldstein in an open letter to U.S. President Donald Trump and members of the Congress, which was published in Washington Post on Wednesday.
Co-signed by nearly 100 people from American academic, diplomatic, military and business circles, the open letter said the growing deterioration in U.S.-China relations does not serve American or global interests.
Goldstein, an associate professor at Harvard University's Fairbank Center for China Studies, hopes this letter will urge the U.S. government to change its policy-making process.
"The real story in this letter is the fact that a large number of American specialists on Asia who have very different views about China and about how to approach China, have agreed that the way in which policy is being made today in the U.S. government is not functional in terms of realizing the goals of the United States and really the goals of China," said Goldstein.
He disapproves of the U.S. policy to treat China as an enemy and decouple it from the global economy, stating instead that the U.S. has benefited a lot from China's development.
"The ordinary people in the United States have benefited from China's rise, not only in the provision of inexpensive household goods and inexpensive electronic goods, but also in terms of interest rates, because China buys U.S. debt, and the extent of China's purchase of U.S. debt has kept interest rates down," said Goldstein.
Xu Qinduo, a senior fellow with the think-tank Pangoal Institution, agrees with Goldstein's view, saying that the problem is that many people have forgotten or even ignored the benefits brought about by China's development.
"Of course China benefited from participating closely in the international system and opening up to the outside world. And also remember, many people forget or ignore that the U.S. side also benefited greatly from the rise of China, from the economic boost of China," said Xu.
More voices are also speaking against the trade war. Thomas Donilon, a former U.S. national security adviser, said tariffs, "are hurting U.S. businesses, consumers, and farmers," while alienating the U.S.' allies.
Moreover, the governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney warned that the trade war could "shipwreck" the global economy.
According to a Bloomberg Economics study, if the trade war between the U.S. and China continues to escalate, it could shave 600 billion dollars annually off of global output within two years. The study also found that a further cycle of tariff escalation could cause worldwide GDP to fall 0.6 percent by mid-2021.
