++STARTS ON SOUNDBITE++
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Simina Mistreanu, The Associated Press, Greater China Correspondent in Taipei:
“Donald Trump’s election as the new president of the United States brings a lot of uncertainty to US-China relations. Beijing is preparing for friction with Washington over trade and the self-ruled island of Taiwan among other things. Perhaps the biggest risk for China is that Trump will follow through on his election promises and impose tariffs of 60% on all Chinese imports to the U.S. That could really affect China’s economy, which already suffers due to high youth unemployment, a long property market slump and government debt. Trump could use the threat of tariffs to force China back to the negotiating table, like he did during his first term in office. Then the two countries signed a trade deal in which China committed to improving intellectual property rights and buy more U.S. goods."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Simina Mistreanu, The Associated Press, Greater China Correspondent in Taipei:
"Another point of contention between the two countries is expected to be Taiwan, a self-ruled democracy that China claims as its own territory. The U.S. supports Taiwan and sells it arms. Trump has threatened to impose even higher tariffs, of 150 to 200%, on Chinese goods if Beijing makes a move to invade Taiwan. He has said however that China would not blockade Taiwan because Chinese President Xi Jinping respects Trump and knows that he can be unpredictable."
5. Various of audience listening to the forum
