The superpowers are not only engaged in a tense geopolitical contest, but are also battling each other over trade and technology, with repercussions for America\u2019s regional allies, including Australia. Increasingly, such contests are being transformed into zero-sum games, with one country\u2019s economic gain considered a loss by the other. For countries such as Australia, these trends are deeply worrying because they undermine the global trade system.<\/p>\n
