Not all countries’ markets are up to the challenge. Some, which are large and yet isolated, like India and Brazil, may fare better in a de-globalised world. Others could look to their wider region to become a manufacturing hub, (think Eastern Europe). But, warns one analyst, there is no going back. “The nature of [the relationship between the US and China] will be fundamentally changed.” And that change will have global ramifications.
