US-China 'Board of Trade' may help ties but experts flag market worriesWASHINGTON, United States, March 22, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - As Washington and Beijing mull a new mechanism to adjust trade between the world's two largest economies, some analysts warn that it could interfere with market forces, while others consider it a path to smoother coexistence. -After top US economic officials held talks with their Chinese counterparts in Paris last weekend, US trade envoy Jamieson Greer said both sides discussed creating a "US-China Board of Trade." The mechanism would help to formalize and identify what kinds of goods the United States should be exporting to and importing from China, he said. For now, officials appear to have made progress towards Chinese purchase commitments for agriculture, energy and planes from the United States, added Cutler, a former US trade official. -Bown of PIIE believes a managed trade agreement between the United States and China could be more successful than previous attempts to solve economic conflicts.
