The US-China Competition: Industrial Chain and the Future of Systemic Great Power
Keywords:
Global Supply Chain, Industrial Chain, Dual Circulation, US-China CompetitionAbstract
The global supply chain system driven by U.S.-China strategic competition faces a new contraction, adjustment, andreconstruction pattern. Facing the current possible development directions such as "limited globalisation", "de-globalization", and "de-China-ization", the global supply chain system, especially the role of China in supply chain engagement, will become more and more uncertain. From the perspective of China's response, this paper proposes several key response strategies and presents a win-win alternative for developing countries.
