U.S. tariff policies are sending shockwaves through global trade, stirring debates among experts across South and Southeast Asia. While Western narratives tend to frame the tariff war as a contest between major powers, many argue that these policies are sidelining the real struggles—and innovative responses—of developing nations.
On a recent edition of Global South Voices, host Mushahid Hussain Sayed joined a panel of seasoned experts from institutions like the Taihe Institute, Pakistan Banks Association, Global South-North Centre, and a former operations leader from India's Prime Minister's Office. Their lively discussion tackled burning questions: Can tariffs truly revive U.S. manufacturing, or are they simply exporting instability? With the Chinese mainland deepening its ties with fellow Global South nations, new alliances may be paving the way for a more balanced and resilient global economy. 💡
For tech-savvy young professionals in South and Southeast Asia, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on how countries caught in the middle of global power plays are moving from reactive damage control to proactive cooperation. It’s an exciting time as the Global South not only navigates these challenges but actively charts a bold economic future! 🌏
