“The Weaponization of Trade and Finance” (graded)

Using the posted videos below and your own research, lead a class discussion online on how the US-China Trade War had become a currency war.  Finally, if capital controls were imposed by either economy, explain the impact that such obstructions would have carried for the risk outlook for the US, China, and global economy.  Finally, do you see the outcome of this US-China trade war offset by the internationalization of the Chinese Yuan through China’s One-Belt-One-Road Initiative? Explain why or why not? [Also comment on what China’s One-Belt-One-Road Initiative is.]
