Trade protectionism is on the rise,and voices against economic globalization are incessant

The trend of globalization is disturbed by the anti-globalization trend of thought.After the rapid development of the current round of globalization in the past 20 years,there has emerged a voice and ideological trend against globalization,and the recognition that whether economic globalization brings win-win or even all-win result has been questioned and challenged constantly.Unlike the original opposition to globalization,which came mainly from developing countries,this time,the opposition is mainly from the developed countries represented by the United States,where populism and trade protectionism have emerged successively.Especially after Trump was elected President of the United States,there has been a general trend of trade protectionism,withdrawal from TPP multilateral system and development towards bilateralism or even unilateralism.Under the impact of Trump Green New Deal,the United States changed from encouraging enterprises to carry out global transnational operations to encouraging enterprises to return to their own countries,and pushed manufacturing industries to turn to the United States through taxation and other measures.As the leader of this round of globalization and free trade,the United States is turning to trade protectionism,which will inevitably bring negative impact and influence on the flow of factors such as economic globalization,international investment by multinational companies,and international trade development.According to data from the International Monetary Fund,736 restrictive trade measures were implemented globally in 2015,a 50% increase from the previous year and three times as many as free trade promotion measures.This is enough to show that the development of economic globalization is falling into the perplexity and trap of trade protectionism.
