Understanding the Breakdown in Global Trade and What It Means for China
In the fast-evolving landscape of international commerce, few voices are as authoritative or insightful as Paul Blustein. A distinguished journalist and trade expert with deep experience covering the world economy, Paul brings a clear-eyed analysis of the unraveling of the once-stable, rules-based global trade regime—changes that carry significant consequences for China, Asia, and the global business community.
China and the Fragmenting Global Trade Order
As the world’s manufacturing powerhouse and a major player on the global economic stage, China is both a contributor to and a stakeholder in the evolving trade dynamics. Paul Blustein delves into the historical arc that led to today’s fracture in multilateralism—from the rise of protectionism in leading economies to intensifying US-China trade tensions—and discusses how this shift has created a more fragmented, politically charged trading environment.
What Corporates Need to Know
For multinational companies operating in or engaging with China, the implications are profound. The erosion of World Trade Organization norms, increasing bilateralism, and retaliatory policy tools pose new strategic challenges. Paul’s keynotes shed light on:
- The historical events that triggered the current trade disruption
- The role of China’s economic rise in reshaping global trade expectations
- Critical analysis of US-China trade policies and what’s at stake
- Scenarios for future trade frameworks and what businesses should anticipate
