By Junko Yoshida for EETIMES – An accelerated U.S. vs. China trade war has elevated “decoupling” into a trendy buzzword to describe the possibility of a breakup between two of the world’s most powerful economies. The question at hand, though, is if there really is a decoupling going on? Perhaps not on the macro-economic level, […]
