Journalist David Lynch’s The World’s Worst Bet is like a disaster movie. The Washington Post correspondent (formerly at the FT) opens his book with one senior politician after another asserting, as if to camera, that China’s imminent membership of the World Trade Organization in 2001 presented no threats, but only opportunities. China, said Joe Biden said at the time, was “a nation with the impact on the world economy about the size of the Netherlands”. It was absurd to think it would have any impact on the American manufacturing economy.
