Globalization

 This epidemic has exposed some disadvantages of globalization. In order to stop the spread of the epidemic, many countries require people to be isolated from each other and keep a social distance. This has led to many enterprises stopping work and stopping production. If it is a link in the global industrial chain, it will affect the production of enterprises in another downstream country. Some countries find that when other countries are unable to supply intermediate products, their own production chain also lacks necessary substitution, resulting in domestic production being subject to foreign countries. At the same time, for a large number of materials urgently needed for epidemic prevention, many countries find themselves in short supply and unable to produce or have insufficient production capacity. In order to protect their own use, some countries strictly prohibit the export of epidemic prevention materials; some detain the transit materials of other countries; some even seize the epidemic prevention materials of other countries. These practices, which are only for themselves, run counter to international cooperation. Some countries have even issued preferential policies to require multinational enterprises to move back to their own production, which goes against globalization.

In fact, in this pluralistic world, the voice against globalization has never stopped. However, in recent years, the downward pressure on the world economy has increased, resulting in less opportunities for people to obtain new wealth, a decline in people's sense of happiness, and an increase in anxiety and anxiety. In addition, right-wing politicians blame globalization (which is essentially caused by the serious polarization between the rich and the poor, which requires political and deep-seated economic reform), so there are more anti globalization voices. At the same time, the smooth flow of global network information and the development of we media make these sounds easier to spread than before. In addition, the global production chain disruption and the shortage or inability to produce epidemic prevention materials in this epidemic situation have further amplified the voice of anti globalization.
