The narrative that globalisation has collapsed under the weight of tariffs and nationalism misses the mark, says Neil Shearing, group chief economist at Capital Economics and author of The Fractured Age. Despite political tensions, global trade volumes remain near record highs and ports around the world are still bustling. What is occurring is not a retreat from global trade, but a reconfiguration of it. The latest shift, Shearing argues, reflects a fracturing of the global economic system into competing blocs led by the United States and China. Rather than shrinking, trade flows are being rerouted. The transformation can be seen in supply chains such as mobile phones: five years ago, nearly 70% of U.S. imports in this category came from China; today, that figure has dropped to 25%, with India and Vietnam emerging as major new suppliers. Similarly, U.S. consumers are sourcing more goods from Vietnam, Mexico and India, while China is deepening trade ties with Russia and other developing economies."}
