In some ways, I see this policy as having a direct impact on globalism. With China being demonstrated to be an unreliable supplier, the pendulum on the movement towards a globally dependent economy seems to be swinging back again.

Boris Johnson did a speech at a business conference in Singapore recently and apparently they didn't take kindly to him criticising China. I don't think we're going to see much return of local manufacturing but I do think we're going to see a return to a world which reflects the original Nato meaning of 1st, 2nd and 3rd world as two separate trade blocs separated on ideological lines with a third group of non-aligned countries.
