Impact of the New China Shock

The video discusses the concept of 'China Shock', initially coined to describe the economic impact of Chinese imports on the US. It now affects global markets, including Mexico, Brazil, and Southeast Asia, due to increased competition from China. This shift is partly due to tariffs imposed by the US, leading to a reorganization of supply chains. Governments in affected countries face challenges in responding due to China's role as a major trading partner and investor. China is attempting to shift focus from manufacturing to boosting domestic demand, but its success remains uncertain.
