China after Ukraine: War in an Era of Accelerating Deglobalization with Gordon G. Chang

With the Ukraine war, we have just passed an historic inflection point, transitioning from a period of general peace to one of continual turbulence. In a turbulent world, where the skies and seas are no longer considered safe, trade will decline as countries "onshore" to avoid war risk. A trade-dependent China will perhaps be the world's biggest victim of deglobalization.

Gordon G. Chang '73, J.D. '76 is the author of The Great U.S.-China Tech War and Losing South Korea, booklets released by Encounter Books. His previous books are Nuclear Showdown: North Korea Takes On the World and The Coming Collapse of China, both from Random House.
