What countries still operate under mercantilism?

While no country strictly operates under classical mercantilism as it existed in the 16th to 18th centuries, some nations exhibit mercantilist tendencies through protectionist policies and state intervention in the economy. Countries like China and Russia employ elements of mercantilism by promoting exports, restricting imports, and using government support to bolster domestic industries. Additionally, some developing nations may adopt mercantilist practices to protect emerging sectors and achieve economic growth. However, in the globalized economy, most countries operate under a mix of trade policies rather than pure mercantilism.
