As many of you know, I left Cato as of July 1. Since then, I've been working with my former Cato colleague Huan Zhu to set up a news/analysis website on China trade issues. It's called China Trade Monitor and you can see it here: www.chinatrademonitor.com.
We will cover a wide range of issues related to trade, investment, and economic relations with China more broadly: Traditional trade policy issues, “trade and …” issues, and issues that have implications for trade, such as national security, human rights and competition policy/antitrust. Some of the main topics include: trade agreements, negotiations, and disputes; trade remedies; domestic legislation, regulation, and litigation; digital trade; investment; intellectual property; environment; and labor rights.
We've been writing regularly for the site for the past few weeks, and there are more than a hundred posts up there for people to check out.
For the next few weeks at least, we will do this for free. At a certain point, we will have to start charging, of course, but in the meantime enjoy the free service and let us know what you think! We would love to get people's feedback. We are still making tweaks to the design, and still thinking about the precise scope of the content, and it would be great to hear from people on these issues.
(And to answer a question I've gotten, WorldTradeLaw.net and this blog will continue as is! I'm basically just switching out my Cato work for this new website.)
