Supply chain advantages not weakened by trade dispute

THE TRADE FRICTIONS with the United States make some worry that China will lose its advantages in industrial supply chains. The relocation of some enterprises to some other countries further aggravates these concerns. The 21st Century Business Herald comments:

The fears are unnecessary.

Apart from articles of everyday use, China's main exports to the US are electronic products, the major source of its trade surplus. The US hopes to use tariffs and an information security barrier to compel its electronics manufacturing enterprises to leave China.
