Blaming China for US economic woes - but who is really breaking international trade rules?

Friday, 25 February 2022 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jacques and Jennifer talk about the international system of trade rules and agreements, and they give a bit of its recent history from post-WW2 to the establishment of the World Trade Organisation....   

Lately, China has been accused of breaking the rules and undermining the system for its own advantage – especially in the US (and of course, echoed in the US's faithful follower, Australia), but is this true?     

What is really going on?      

 

Friday 10:00am to 10:30am
Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
