The world has fractured into rival blocs, with the US and China emerging as the poles of competing systems, vying for resources, technological dominance and geopolitical influence. Now, with Trump back in office, long-held assumptions about American leadership are once again in question. What does his return mean for the trajectory of this fracturing, and how has the balance of risks evolved?\nIn this special edition of The Weekly Briefing from Capital Economics, Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing and Chief Asia Economist Mark Williams explore the fracturing of the global economy. Ahead of the publication of fresh analysis about how fracturing has developed since Trump's return, they talk to David Wilder about how this process began long before the president was elected in 2016,  how it’s accelerating under his second term and where it might lead. Topics covered in this 30-minute episode include:\nThe inevitability of US–China economic rivalry – and the scope for détente\nHow fracturing is fuelling a global tech arms race\nWhether Trump’s unilateralism could further strain or even break Western alliances.\nEvents and analysis referenced in this episode:\nFracturing under Trump – Register now:\nSingapore, 3rd September\nHong Kong, 4th September\nLondon, 17th September\nNew York, 9th October\nRead: The fracturing of the global economy\nRead: The US, China and the Fractured Age","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/k4wrAyzb9LdWZZe1LSeSSMxKx41PGd_uydFNbSPeNvI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jYzVh/ZjA4OWMzZDgzNDVk/N2JiMzlkOGY3NzZl/OTE2Yy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
