The economic decoupling between the US and China poses a significant challenge for many internationally operating companies. As part of an Innosuisse project, the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons and the ZHAW Center for Geopolitics and Competitiveness developed six scenarios exploring how US-China relations might evolve and what these developments could mean for global trade and Swiss companies. Additionally they've developed a stress test, that helps your company assess the risks arising from increasing economic fragmentation between the US and China.
