Less than a year following our first discussion about the U.S.- China trade war, we're revisiting the topic with former guest Scott Maberry. We're examining whether fears of China becoming a dominant world economic player are as accurate and threatening as many believe. We're also taking a closer look at some of the unanticipated and unexpected effects of the U.S.'s dealings (or lack thereof) with China.

Joining host Michael Cohen is former guest, from Episode 1, Scott Maberry. Scott is an International Trade partner in the Government Contracts, Investigations & International Trade Practice Group in the firm's Washington, D.C. office. Scott counsels clients and litigates disputes in the areas of export controls, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), anti-terrorism, economic sanctions, anti-boycott controls, anti-money laundering (AML), the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), trade remedies including antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) matters, and Customs.
