Ever felt like you’re waiting endlessly for an update that never comes? Just like in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, the US trade war strategy seems stuck in a loop of talk with no real action. 🤔
Since 2018, when Washington kicked off its trade war tactics, the focus has been on trade deficits and old-school grievances—pinning the blame on the Chinese mainland. But much like the tech trends and start-up buzz across South and Southeast Asia, global trade is evolving fast, and clinging to outdated logic just doesn’t cut it anymore. 🚀
For young professionals and tech enthusiasts, this endless waiting game feels all too familiar—like anticipating the latest gadget release that never comes. Instead of getting stuck in a deadlock of neglected reforms, it’s time for policymakers to update their playbook and focus on the real drivers of our dynamic, digital economy.
If we’re all waiting for a breakthrough like Godot, maybe the real solution is to stop the endless conversation and start taking meaningful action to keep up with the fast pace of global innovation.
