President Trump is coming back from China with new trade deals, but how reliable a trading partner has the Chinese regime been with the US? 
NTD's Washington correspondent Jack Bradley has more on China's track record. 
The Chinese Communist Party's track record reveals an ongoing history of broken trade deals and failed promises. 
Looking back at what was called the phase one trade deal in 2020, China promised to purchase an extra $200 billion in US goods over two years, but they fell over 40% short. 
And when US officials pressed China on this at the time, there really was no accountability. 
It's pretty clear that China has not been meeting its agricultural purchasing or intellectual property commitments in that phase one agreement. 
>> We have fought very, very hard to secure accommodations from China for the shortfalls that are apparent in the trade data. 
So far, as I've noted, the conversations have been very difficult. 
Now, the office of the US trade representative under the Trump administration back in October conducted an investigation into China's implementation of that deal, finding they fell far short, saying China's lack of compliance with the phase one agreement appears to have undermined the conditions of competition for US companies seeking to trade with and operate in China. 
In 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization, but until this day, the CCP ignores their rules on state-owned enterprises. 
China still heavily subsidizes key sectors like semiconductors, steel, electric vehicles, solar, you name it, and creates overcapacity, producing far more than the market needs, and flooding global markets with cheap goods, undercutting other nations' manufacturers. 
China also continues to use the title of developing nation status, even as it became the world's second largest economy, allowing them longer timelines to comply with world trading rules and more flexibility on subsidies and tariffs. 
Beyond trade, the CCP also violated its treaty with the United Kingdom when it took back control of Hong Kong. 
Hong Kong was supposed to be granted autonomy until 2047, but the CCP crushed the city's freedoms 27 years early, imposing a draconian national security law and arresting political dissidents. 
In 2015, Xi Jinping told former President Obama in the White House Rose Garden that China wouldn't conduct cyber theft of American intellectual property for commercial gain. 
Yet, China continues large-scale cyber espionage, contributing to an estimated $15 trillion in stolen US IP. 
So, following these new trade agreements from China after this US delegation returns from Beijing, the question on many people's minds are, can they really be trusted? 
For NTD News, Washington, I'm Jack Bradley.
