The coronavirus pandemic has exposed a significant weakness in our supply chain. The United States had not produced penicillin since 2006. Up to 93 percent of our antibiotics come from China. 50% of all the face masks produced in the world come from China. Apple could not produce IPhones because the only factory making the screens was located at the epi center of the virus in China and was shut down. Most electronic first tier vendors are located in China. The list goes on. Side note – in 1941, the largest trade partner to the US was Japan.

  1. How should the US view strategically important products in a global marketplace? Should we allow our primary adversary to be the sole source? Why or why not? Options?
  2. Should the US focus on being self-sufficient with regard to medical products?
  3. How did the supply chain become so vulnerable? What steps would you recommend to prevent this from reoccurring?
  4. The use of JIT in the supply chain has had many advantages. Unfortunately, any interruption is catastrophic. What options should be put in place to mitigate this risk?

USA – China Trade Relations
Over the past decades China has consistently run a trade surplus with the USA, accumulating very large holdings of US Treasury bonds. Please, discuss the pros and cons of this situation from the perspective of China! What is the role of the exchange rate (between the US and Chinese currency) in this relationship? Classical economists would argue that the trade surplus would make the Chinese currency gain value and erase competitive gains of China – what do you think about that?

After global financial crises, US dollar deprecated against the Japanese Yen significantly, from 1 $ = 110 Yen to 1 $ = 75 Yen. It is argued that different monetary policies between US Fed and Bank of Japan triggered the depreciation of dollar. Specifically, the Fed adopted quantitative easing while Bank of Japan maintained a relatively stable money supply. Please use asset approach to explain the depreciation of dollar. Draw two figures – equilibrium of money market and that of foreign exchange market.
