China Shock 2.0: ‘Europe is in worse shape than Canada’ | Prof. Ian Lee
“Europe is in worse shape than Canada,” argues Professor Ian Lee. He joins Jim Csek and Iain Burns to explain China Shock 2.0—and what China’s growing manufacturing power means for Europe, Canada and the United States.
Lee discusses China’s move into higher-value exports, the Draghi report on European competitiveness, subsidies, currency policy and the challenges facing Western manufacturers. He also weighs China’s short-term strengths against its longer-term demographic and debt problems.
For Canada, Lee argues that natural resources and lessons from Australia deserve more attention than the ambition to become a manufacturing superpower. The interview also examines steel, trade barriers and Canada’s choices between the U.S., Europe and China.
