This kind of decoupling could be seen in the early 20th century leading to a world war. So not obvious whether it is good or bad.

Which world war and why do you believe that a decoupling preceded it?
No, no it couldn't.
Really? Do you mean countries stopped trading with Germany and lead to the rise of Adolph Hitlers nazi party ? Or do you mean something else? Because if China thinks they’re going to be the next adolf Hitler if we stop buying Chinese crap - I’m not sure that’s a valid argument. Chinese goods are plainly inferior quality , they do not respect patents or trademarks and they completely ignore environmental guidelines, none of these same things can be said for German made goods after the treaty of Versailles. If in fact that the period you are referring to, as your comment is unclear.
>Chinese goods are plainly inferior quality

this is not true for a lot of products, which is worse
