#168. Cameron Johnson: The Big Connection

Cameron Johnson is an expert in supply chains, manufacturing, and technology.  He is frequently sought out for his expertise on US-China trade and supply chain issues, and is a delegate to Washington DC where he advises US politicians and officials.  He is also a professor at New York University and former Vice-Chair of the board at the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai.  He is a senior partner at Tidalwave Solutions with clients in various high technology sectors and he has been quoted by both American and Chinese news outlets alike.  His work helping US buyers source personal protective equipment during the pandemic has been featured on the PBS series Frontline titled “America’s Medical Supply Crisis”. Today we talk about US-China trade relations, the supply chain ecosystem, and the political forces that shape it.  Cameron shares what’s fueling America’s approach to “de-risking” or “decoupling” from China and his long-term outlook for global peace.  We discuss the oversimplification of reshoring manufacturing to the US and the political rhetoric around it.  We also explore the role of supply chains in reducing global conflicts, despite current tensions.
