Europe could prosper as China’s trade ally rather than adversary

The European Commission has been clearly signalling its intention to wage a trade war against China. Brussels’ intent to counter the so-called China shock 2.0 – the wave of subsidised Chinese exports such as electric vehicles (EVs), solar panels and batteries – is no longer merely a verbal threat but appears to be an imminent decision. Comparing current trade tensions between the European Union and China with the trade conflict between Europe and Japan in the 1970s and 1980s reveals striking...

Why Krugman Thinks We Need Chinese Auto Tariffs

As the United States, Canada, and Mexico prepare to renegotiate the USMCA trade deal, one industry sits squarely at the center of the debate: automobiles. Companies like Linamar depend on highly integrated supply chains that send components across borders multiple times before a vehicle is completed. Nobel laureate Paul Krugman argues that competition from China demands some trade barriers, while Council on Foreign Relations expert Shannon O’Neil says the region’s manufacturing strength depends on cross-border production. Supporters of the agreement warn that uncertainty poses the biggest risk to investment, jobs, and the future of a trade relationship that supports over a trillion dollars in annual commerce.
