What's the difference between the status quo and the problem? I can't explain clearly, the current situation and problems of Sino-US trade in high-tech products that I met when writing my thesis.
There is a big difference between the present situation and the problem. On the one hand, the status quo is two-sided, with both good and bad aspects. This is a general description of the current situation. The problem is a bad aspect, and the aspect that needs to be solved urgently is not mixed with the good aspect. It is the refinement, summary and generalization of the status quo described above. In both cases, the status quo is a statement without subjective color, and the problem is a subjective interpretation.
