It is perhaps the greatest threat ever levelled at the post-war globalization movement and all of its supporting architecture. This paper argues that due to the unusual nature of the last business cycle, the general public has become impatient with the existing economic and in particular, international trade architecture. It also points out that its typical defenders are unsure of how to do so. In response, what is suggested is that logic puts definite limits on how much change is actually likely to occur, and if so, which strategic responses are most appropriate.展开更多

Despite its global success, its expansion efforts have been repeatedly blocked by U.S. government agencies. This, in turn, has contributed to Huawei debates in some other countries as well. How did Huawei become a global leader? Why are some U.S. government agencies anxious about its expansion in America, whereas the marketplace is not? Why does it divide the Congress and the White House? What are the ultimate reasons for the debacle? What are the lessons for Chinese companies and the U.S. government? And why does the closure of the Huawei case matter?展开更多
