Mary Lovely writes “Trump’s removal of Hong Kong’s special status hurts the US more than China”

Mary Lovely, Professor of Economics in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, wrote commentary for CNN, “Trump’s removal of Hong Kong’s special status hurts the US more than China.” President Trump recently declared that he would remove Hong Kong’s special status under US trade law after China drafted a “controversial national security law.” Professor Lovely, who is an expert on international economics and Chinese trade, believes that like Trump’s ongoing trade war, his “Hong Kong policy seeks to inflict punishment on China with little concern for its effectiveness or cost to American interests.”
