LOS ANGELES, March 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2021 Cathay Bank/UCLA Anderson Forecast U.S.-China Annual Economic Report focuses on the U.S. economy under the Biden administration, which may continue some, if not all, of the Trump administration's hardline economic policies toward China, though in a more nuanced and diplomatic style and tone. The report also discusses U.S. goods imports and exports with China, asset prices, U.S. real estate markets and whether superstar cities will be super again. It also predicts that the U.S. and Chinese economies will be among the most rapidly growing once the COVID-19 pandemic abates.

Will the Biden administration continue his predecessor's policies toward China, but with a different style and tone?

The report results from a sponsorship between Cathay Bank and UCLA Anderson Forecast. In addition to the annual report, periodic updates are published. This is the fourth year of the collaboration, which offers insights into the U.S. and Chinese economies.

"This report is prepared by UCLA Anderson Forecast for Cathay Bank, and provides timely data-driven insights from an informed perspective," said Chang M. Liu, Cathay Bank's president and CEO. "We are pleased to bring forth this quality resource to our customers and those who are interested to learn what the future holds for U.S.-China economic relations."

"Our econometric modeling and analytic techniques provide important data about the economies of the U.S. and China, and the relationship between the two superpowers," said Jerry Nickelsburg, faculty director of UCLA Anderson Forecast, who co-authored the report along with his colleague, economist William Yu. "We continue to be pleased to share our unique expertise with Cathay Bank and its customers."
