THE ECONOMIST 經濟學人雜誌 2020/07/18 第29期

Trade without trust  

Our cover this week is about reconciling the daunting rise of China Inc with a global trading system in which trust has collapsed. Tensions have come to a head over Huawei, a telecoms-equipment firm with annual sales of ＄123bn, razor-sharp prices and dedication to the industrial goals of China’s rulers. Since 2018 America has subjected the firm to a legal and financial assault, making it the biggest flashpoint in the trade war. This week Britain said that it would block Huawei from its 5G networks. Other European countries could follow. But far from showing the West’s resolve, the saga reveals the lack of a coherent strategy. If open societies and authoritarian China are to maintain their economic links and avoid a descent into anarchy, the world needs a new trade architecture.
