China is the largest trading partner of more than half of the world's countries, and that trend will increase after the pandemic. What about deglobalization or decoupling?

China is currently the largest trading partner of more than half of the countries in the world, and many especially depend on China as the largest source of their imports (See table below). This was evident in this pandemic when it was seen that everyone bought masks, gloves, personal protective equipment, and even test kits from that country. In fact, everyone realized, if did had not already, that China is the world's factory.

But China is the first country to recover economically by being the first to control the pandemic, while others, especially in Europe and North America, will take longer to do so. Thus, the demand of China will increase faster than others and this will increase purchases from other countries, and its sales to other countries, so that the role of China as the largest trading partner of many will continue to strengthen, and others, which still have not yet China as their biggest trading partner, they will have.

There is talk of deglobalization, decoupling, that USA, Europe want to depend less on China. These countries are said to want to produce for themselves things that are produced only or mostly in the Asian giant. For example, it is said that they should not be depended on China for the gloves, masks, and other supplies needed to deal with the pandemic. But will deglobalization be possible?

It is likely that some countries, especially the United States, in Western Europe and even Japan, will actually begin to produce the goods and medical supplies necessary to face the pandemic, but it is very difficult for them to do the same on a large scale for other products. . Why? Here are some reasons:

1. Producing masks, gloves, even personal protective equipment is not an activity that demands a lot of money and great technology. How much can it cost to put one of those factories, 5 million dollars, or up to 50 million dollars? But setting up a home appliance or smartphone factory costs much more, surely more than 10 times what it costs to produce those medical supplies.

2. The companies that went to China to produce many of the products made there did not do so because they liked that country (and if they liked it, that was not the main reason). They did so because the cost of labor is (or was) very cheap, they could produce at low cost and their benefits were greater. That they go back to producing in the US for example it will be very difficult because the cost of labor is very high there. And even if they manage to produce in their countries, they would do so at a high cost and could not compete with the cheaper products that come from China.

3. Businesses went to China not only for cheap labor, which, incidentally, is increasing in cost. They invested and continue to do so because this country offers them a whole stable economic ecosystem that allows them to produce at low cost. China offers a physical infrastructure, logistics, roads, ports, airports, which make it possible for the parts and components necessary to produce a product to move quickly and at low cost, and also for the final product to move anywhere in the world in a convenient way. fast and cheap. Apart from that, China offers a stable economic and social system that does not exist in many other places in the world.

4. Although it is true that labor in China is no longer as cheap as before, companies go or stay there because they have there a large number of skilled labor unlike in other parts of the world. In addition, it has a large number of professionals especially from the engineering necessary for the production processes. Recall that in China graduates twice as many engineers a year as in the United States.

5. A product requires the use of parts and components for its final assembly, and that final assembly is mostly done in China, using parts and components from many countries, increasingly from places near China, such as Japan, Korea, Taiwan, etc. Shift the production of a good that is assembled in China to do it in the USA. for example, it makes little sense as the parts and components will continue to be brought from places close to China. Not only that, China itself increasingly produces parts and components that are used in the final assembly of a product, so even though they assemble the final good in the U.S. for example, they will continue to buy parts and components from China.
6. Companies go to China also because it offers a very open system for foreign investment compared to countries with which they could be an alternative to China. India, for example, has even cheaper labor than China, but this country still has many restrictions on foreign investment and an inflexible labor market. Vietnam is also mentioned as another possible alternative, but this country only has 95 million inhabitants and it could not compete with China either, like India, in the level of infrastructure it offers.

7. Another reason is that there are not many countries in the world that have an industrial policy where the State offers all the support for the establishment of an industry like China does. The pandemic crisis has shown, for example, that many countries cannot even make masks, a product that, as stated, does not require much technology or investment

8. The main reason why companies initially went to China was because of the cheap labor there, and because they were going to use China as a base to export to the world. But now companies are there mainly because the Chinese market is the largest consumer market in the world, and they want to sell to the domestic market. This country with its middle class and its growing purchasing power is where many companies want to go. And they are not going to leave China, even if their governments ask them to.

For these and other reasons, a pronounced de-globalization or decoupling process does not appear to be a viable option. The US Trade War with China, the restrictions that the US puts to China will make sure that China begins to produce more and more parts and components vital for its industries and that still buys from the US. In any case, the Chinese “Made in China 2025” plan had that objective, since in 2015 it proposed that by 2025, China should produce 70% of the basic components of 10 main industries.

* North Korea does not appear, but as we all know, this country depends on more than 90% of its trade from China. Statistics from Cuba and Venezuela are very old in this report, so they have not been considered, but these countries depend heavily on China, especially on their imports. Neither do other countries appear in this table, most of them small and with little trade, since their statistics are quite old.
