Tsinghua PBCFS Forum Opens 4-Day Chengdu Meeting on US Tariffs and Global Trade
1 articles · Updated · CGTN · May 17
May 17 marks the start of the 2026 Tsinghua PBCFS Global Finance Forum in Chengdu, where participants are assessing the impact of US “reciprocal tariffs” and the future of the global trading system.
The forum runs through May 20 under the theme “Global Financial Governance in a Changing World: New Challenges, New Opportunities, New Developments,” framing the tariff debate within broader shifts in global finance.
April 2, 2025 is the reference point for the US tariff measures under discussion, with the session focused on how those actions have reshaped trade expectations and policy thinking.
The meeting positions tariff fallout and trade-system uncertainty as part of a wider debate over how global financial governance should adapt to a changing world.
With US tariffs repeatedly struck down in court, what's next for global trade uncertainty?
