Quick takeaways

  • China's shift from exporting low-value-added goods to higher-value-added goods has led to a trade surplus and a new wave of globalization that doesn't involve the Western world.

Deep dives

China's Divergence from the West

China's divergence from the West has increased on many levels, particularly in terms of investment flows and supply chains. While factories have moved from China to other countries, China has also made efforts to de-westernize its own supply chains. China has shifted from exporting low-value-added goods to higher-value-added goods, leading to a trade surplus and taking over emerging markets. This represents a new wave of globalization that doesn't involve the Western world.
