International supply chains should be better diversified
Many want to reduce international supply chains. Indeed, the rules of international trade must be improved and the gains from trade must be more widely distributed among the population. In some cases, local production is preferable. But international trade is still a very important means of promoting prosperity for many people, and foster international cooperation and peace.

A very brief overview on the causes of the US-China trade conflict
Current developments against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic suggest that the trade conflict between the United States and China will continue. The conflict has a longer history. I think that there are three main causes for the trade conflict between the United States and China (the so-called “Phase 1” agreement signed in January 2020 brought some temporary relief, but I fear that the conflict will get more severe again in the coming months): (1) political-economic motives, (2) dissatisfaction with the World Trade Organization (WTO), (3) and reasons of political power.
