Warning on China trade potential from Commerce Department
The Commerce Department warns that optimistic hopes for large U.S. Chinese trade are overstated. Predictions of $200 billion in 1985 imports are unrealistic. even under favorable conditions, 1978–1985 U.S. exports to China may reach only $12–15 billion annually. China’s own imports from the West rose to $8.5 billion last year, with a $300 million deficit, and long-term trade could be limited by China’s export capacity and oil revenue. A cautious 10 percent annual export growth is suggested, with many large contracts likely sourced from foreign suppliers.
