At the same time, global firms are increasingly moving towards sophisticated low-cost manufacturing techniques for higher productivity gains.

Could the COVID-19 outbreak be the final nail on the coffin for an idea that drove the world economy in the past three decades?  In theory, countries would produce what they specialised in, leaving it to the market to ensure everyone got a better price for it.
