On the afternoon of December 7, 2018, the second sub - session of the "International Conference on International Trade Relations and Reforms in Global Economic Governance" jointly organized by the Center for International Finance and Economic Research (CIFER) at the National Institute of Financial Research at Tsinghua University and the Center for Monetary Policy Research, namely the sub - forum on "International Trade Frictions and Industrial Development", was successfully held at Tsinghua University. Wang Kai, an assistant researcher at the School of Economics of Nankai University, gave a speech on the topic of "The Impact of Trade Protection Barrier Measures on China's Export Trade".
Assistant researcher Wang Kai is currently a post - doctoral fellow at the School of Economics of Nankai University. His main research areas include free trade zones, trade policies, and currency internationalization, etc. He has published many papers in core economic journals at home and abroad. Assistant researcher Wang Kai sorted out all the trade protection barriers introduced by the United States against China from 2009 to 2016 and analyzed their impact on China's export trade. The study found that the US trade protection barriers had a significant negative impact on China's exported goods. In particular, the inhibitory effect on the exports of China's resource - based, low - tech, and medium - tech industries was very significant, but the negative impact on the exports of high - tech industries was relatively limited. At the same time, assistant researcher Wang Kai pointed out that trade remedy measures had the greatest negative impact on China's export trade. Invisible trade barriers such as non - tariff barriers, government preferential measures, and localization requirements also had a negative impact on China's export trade.
