Multilateralism vital for trading system in tariff era
The WTI's Prof Francois writes for China Daily. This year marks several anniversaries. It has been 80 years since the end of formal conflict in World War II, and the end of a broader conflict involving two world wars and spanning the first half of the 20th Century. It has also been 50 years since the European Economic Community (the nascent European Union) established diplomatic relations with China. At a time when there is growing uncertainty about trade policy and international cooperation, it's worth reviewing the benefits of an international economic policy that promotes cooperation.
