COVID-19 and global supply chain configuration: Economic and emissions impacts of Australia-China trade disruptions

December

Economic shocks from COVID-19, coupled with ongoing US-China tensions, have raised debates around supply chain (or global value chain) organisation, with China at the centre of the storm.
