[@aihong2971]

Mr. McVey is very balanced. China is made up of several different micro-economies. If you isolate these they are booming. For instance. The greater Bay Area for one and the Chengdu / Chongqing consolidated region to name two of them. This type of economic regions have gross domestic products bigger than say the United Kingdom on one hand, and Canada on the other. Breaking up, China into developed and developing regions is quite necessary in order to fully understand the idea of common prosperity and a dual circulation unified market fueled by hukou relaxation and renewed urbanization.

[@yujiuyu8817]

我认为你的分析很正确，中国从十几年前就开始，长三角经济区，粤港澳经济区。京津区经济区。最近几年更加的大力发展这些经济区。通过地铁把不同的省份连接到一起

[@geraldwatts5492]

I'm glad he mentioned hukou, which is traditionally a primary reason for families to buy property (especially cross-city). For those who haven't heard the word, it's actually pronounced "hoo-koh." When you buy a qualifying apartment, you get a hukou which can send kids to school and give you other quality of life benefits. I think what they're doing is giving out more hukous by relaxing the criteria for buying (such as how long you've been paying taxes in the area). But I think it also means that areas that used to not require buying a house for hukou (like where I live) might start requiring it--at least that's what would be in their best interest.

For those who are making comments on fake data or interviewee is making things up obviously doesn’t know what KKR is. In the world of PE funds, KKR is number 2 globally and number 1 is Blackstone. KKR has almost 500 billion AUM. This guy is a division head at KKR and runs their Risk Team. Anyone who’s ever had to raise money or get a loan and bothered to understand the process. The Risk Team is the final step before any proposal is submitted to the credit committee for approval of the deal. It’s his job to know the numbers globally and he would know them better than most people on the planet. KKR is also HQ in Wall Street, so they are as American Capitalists as they come.

Globally 1.45 billion cars are sold every year and less than 2% of that is EV and most of that is in China. It will become overcapacity when the adoptions rate of EV are low, which is very low in US and most of the developing world. The question is whether the country’s government is doing enough to stimulate demand for EV which in China’s case is significant.
