Opinion Piece: China’s increasingly large manufacturing production to hit the wall in Western economy

n this piece for Herald, Bruegel Senior Fellow Alicia García-Herrero takes a closer look at China’s “new productive forces” concept, the reactions from the US and the EU, potential reactions from other parts of the world, and what the overall consequences of these developments are – for China, the EU, the US, and the world.
