 Prof.Sang Baichuan

Prof. Sang analyzed the downtown pressure from the Corona-19 on the global economy from seven aspects,which included :

1. the steady economic growth of the world was ending; 

2. the global supply chain had been severely damaged and restructured; 

3. the trade in intermediate products had shrunk and the international investment had been decelerating; 

4. the egoism had been lifted up, the high standard economic and trade rules were blocked; 

5. the competition between political systems,Market- oriented or People- oriented was  becoming more and more intense;

6. the digital economy showed its huge advantages and the industrial transformation faced new opportunities;

7. the strategic competition between China and the United States was becoming increasingly fierce. 

According to Sang Baichuan's analysis, the Sino- US trade war would not end in a short term. China's  strategy should be keeping internal stability and external openness.Mr. Sang's analysis of the current international economic situation not only provided teachers and students with a multi-dimensional perspective to understand the economic situation, but also provided new ideas and rich materials for academic research.
