The Autarky Trap: Resisting the pull of protectionism

At this year's Summer Davos in Dalian, northeast China's Liaoning Province, CGTN's Tian Wei hosts a special CGTN–WEF joint forum on "Resisting Autarky." While the term "autarky," meaning economic self-sufficiency, is rarely used today, its underlying logic is making a comeback. Export controls, tariff barriers, and industrial policies are reshaping the global economic landscape, while growing geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty are prompting many countries to look inward. How can governments and businesses strengthen resilience without sacrificing openness? And how can leaders make long-term decisions in an increasingly uncertain world? Tune in. #WEF #summerdavos #china #economy #dalian Guests： Yuen Yuen Ang Alfred Chandler Chair Professor of Political Economy, Johns Hopkins University
