Looking back at the global economic and trade situation in 2019, it is still the Sino-US trade war that affects the situation, and whether or not the UK will leave the European Union has also made companies in various countries uneasy, investment demand has dropped sharply, and the overall economy is facing the risk of contraction. The recent trade frictions seem to have gradually subsided, but the black swan of the new coronavirus in 2020 has instantly plunged the global economy into another black hole. This is because the global economic structure has changed, and China is now the world's second-largest Large economies are not only the world’s factories but also the world market. The epidemic has brought a high degree of uncertainty to the global economy, causing a crisis in the global supply chain and increasing liquidity risks in the industry.
