On Bloomberg Markets, Stephen Orlins, president of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, weighs in on the Open Letter to President Trump and Congress on our country's China policy: "There are those who fundamentally believe we’re wrong – that we should have this policy of treating China as a potential enemy.

More than 200 members of the scholarly, foreign policy, military, and business communities have signed an Open Letter to President Trump and members of Congress on U.S. policy toward China. In the letter, published by The Washington Post on July 3, 2019, the authors write:
The National Committee on U.S.-China Relations is pleased to announce the election of Benjamin Harburg to its Board of Directors on May 21, 2019.

In an interview on CNN's Quest Means Business, Stephen Orlins, president of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, says he's "puzzled" why President Trump is making his negotiations with China public. "China 101 teaches you that if you want to make a deal, you make your representations privately. When you put their backs to the wall, it decreases the odds of a deal." Mr. Orlins also cites brand new data published that day from NCUSCR and Rhodium Group's U.S.-China Investment Project: "Chinese investment has fallen off a cliff—it contracted last year, which I think is bad for the United States—and we've got a broadening definition of national security, which is basically making it more difficult for Chinese investors to create jobs in the United States."
