While a difficult 2020 drawing to a close, China and the US is expected to enter a new phase of benign relations with rising possibility to resume cooperation.

As the prices of Australia's major export commodity, iron ore, have shot up of late, some local economists and politicians declare that the economic loss stemming from a severely strained relationship with China has been offset.

With Australian exporters suffering from mounting pressure amid increasingly fraying relations with China, the Five Eyes Alliance still refuses to de-escalate the tensions.

Economic planning has always played a pivotal role in presetting and helping realize China's annual goals in GDP growth, infrastructure and public service investment, inflation control and the central bank's credit supply level.

The US President-elect Joe Biden is forming his new team to lead the world's largest economy as his presidency inauguration ceremony in January draws nearer. On the list, Katherine Tai is reportedly set to be nominated as the US Trade Representative. She is known for her expertise on China and advocating for "offensive elements" in dealing with China. Offensive or not, the Biden Administration's trade policy is likely to revert to a more controllable path with predictable risks.

Blind to all possible consequences, Canberra seems intent on maximizing friction with Beijing at the expense of Australian businesses and consumers. By passing a law to empower the Morrison government to veto foreign agreements signed by local governments, which is widely regarded as a move targeting the Australian state of Victoria's agreement with China under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) framework, Morrison, unsurprisingly, may deteriorate China-Australia relations even further.

In line with media predictions, US President-elect Joe Biden announced his new economic team with former Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen being officially nominated as secretary of Treasury.

The US-China trade war is not really about trade; it's about technology transfer and decoupling.

Swedish authorities have announced restrictions on Chinese 5G developers from joining the country's 5G network construction, under the unproven but catch-all guise of "national security" concerns. Such a move, siding with the US' anti-China campaign, will inevitably lead to damage to its economic and trade relations with China and put Swedish firms' businesses in China at risk.

The "dual circulation" strategy aims to build up an open and inclusive system in which internal and external markets boost and support each other.

Amplifying America's anti-China war cry, several US politicians have been dashing around the world, fabricating facts and creating political gimmicks they think will help their own interests.

The latest data shows that trade between China and India slumped in the first three quarters amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and may lead to a decrease in India's trade deficit with China this year.

Forced to respond to the Trump administration's arbitrary crackdown, and after rounds of tense negotiations, Chinese social media platform TikTok has potentially avoided a ban in the US or the prospect of being entirely stripped of its US operations.

Inversely, Trump may yet further antagonize China as his re-election date in November draws near.

Chinese tech companies "going out" approach is a part of their global expansion bids, in line with China's overall economic development strategy - the "dual circulation" plan.
