How China’s economic slowdown is rippling across Asia | Business Beyond

China’s economic slowdown has stoked fears of global contagion. Nowhere is that concern more pronounced than in Asia, where a majority of economies count Beijing as their largest trading partner. In this episode, we find out how China’s slowdown is impacting the global economy’s most dynamic region, and ask whether Asia’s growth engine slowing could both harm and help other countries.

China slowing down is a prediction often heard in mainline media. Decline in growth is real but growth in absolute terms is still at robust 5%. If so why so much noise? Five percent growth for an economy of China’s size is still mind boggling. It is higher than seen in many top economies of the world.

Its like the rise of SNS and online games can be a social problem with youth, so sometimes they need to curb it's use. And housing also.. too much speculation.

The bottom line is that foreign & private investments in China are so worried about authoritarian capitalism. They prefer transferring investments to Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia which are a much more stable political environment for business transactions having no territorial disputes & skirmishes with neighbors.

[@Drakholm]

Ummm no it's the opposite. They're worried "authoritian capitalism" won't artificially prop up industry/endlessly provide easy money anymore. Consumer spending in China was never truly loose, and now local and even national decision makers are having to "pay the piper" sort of speak. The party is over. I think there's some basis to your argument if China responds to the slowdowns with a gigantic geopolitical/nationalistic pivot (scary, but possible) over the coming years- but in economic terms what you stated is the exact opposite of what foreign firms are concerned about. They're annoyed the government has stopped stepping in not the other way around.

slowing down is defined by comparing with other countries, such as... Germany?

Yes, the Germans must be concerned. Consider the significant drop in sales for German automakers resulting from the economic slowdown in China. Despite growing pressure for German companies to pull out of China, direct German investment in the country reached near-record levels in the first half of 2023. However, during this time, imports and exports between Germany and China decreased, prompting speculation about the early stages of a 'de-risking' process. It's worth noting that 'de-risking' negatively impacts trade in both directions.

China's historic economic slowdown has transformed Asia's economic playbook and raised concerns for the rest of the region. China's GDP per capita has soared from $300 in the late 1970s to nearly $13,000 today, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty. By 2018, the country's middle class had expanded to over 700 million people, and some forecasts expect it to expand to 1.2 billion by 2027. China's rapid growth benefited many economies across Asia through trade, investment, and tourism. However, the foundation of China's economic engine appeared to crack this year due to its struggling property market and pandemic-induced slowdown. The IMF said a 1% boost in China's GDP contributed to at least 0.3% growth across the entire region. The region is concerned about the outlook for China's growth and how US-China competition is complicating Beijing's economic wars as geopolitical tensions loom large. The nightmare scenario for the region is having to declare their support for either China or the US. The video explores how China's slowdown is transforming Asia's economic playbook and how the people are writing its next chapter.

This report gives too much emphasis to china's economic might and its downturn's consequence to other asian countries. That is far from the truth. Chinese slowdown doesnt mean every asian nation will go into recession or experience slower growth on the contrary, chinese slowdown has boosted the economies of many asian nations. Foreign investors who pulled out of china has transferred operations to vietnam, indonesia and elsewhere in southeast asia. Many countries in southeast asia are experiencing increased gdp growth this year and forecast to continue next year wtih Vietnam, philippines leading the way. Philippines gdp growth has surpassed that of china and china is not even the philippines' biggest trading partner. Whatever china lost, southeast asia gained. But of course there are some countries who will be greatly affected like thailand. Thailand relies heavily on tourism specifically chinese tourists. Laos who depends on china for its lifeline. But of course, it would have been better if china;s economy continue its rapid growth but with its leaders expansionist policies and ultimately global ambitions, china's focus is less on economic growth or chinese people's welfare but their personal ambitions.

China's slow down is largely due to global demand slow down with ongoing European war, now middle east war and possible next east Asian war. Outflow of investment is only temporary over manipulated high interest rate in the US. Germany is in recession and on the verge of collapsing like all other nations in EU. Jpn's economy is downed for 40 years and US is in debt of $34 tri ($300+ tri in all).

Western Media just never reflects the reality one can witness while in China. Everyone who travels to China says the economy looks like it's the very opposite of slowing down. When you travel around China, you can see growing prosperity in every Chinese city and village, and almost weekly upgrades to infrastructure, business-, cultural-, and leisure- districts, countless of opportunities to work, even in the smallest fields such as philosophy, where the West barely has any job offers. Meanwhile the economy in Europe and other western nations is going downhill. Even people who once lived stable lives with higher incomes have to lower their standard of living significantly due to rapidly increasing costs of living. Energy, food, housing, services, transportation... everything is becoming incredibly expensive in the West even though the people work harder than ever before. This is not the case China. The West and it's media lab dogs clearly try to distract from the situation in the West or at least to make the West's situation look less bad in comparison to China. Reality is very different though.

So even with its 4% growth China is growing faster than all these big economies

If China’s economy isn’t having problems, I guess we don’t have to worry about huge real estate businesses collapsing, giant wealth management shadow banking companies being insolvent, provincial debt growing to meet unrealistic growth targets, massive youth unemployment, and slowing manufacturing. That’s a relief!

[@MisterRunon]

​@@kwokleongawyong2895it isn't, but that's the Chinese way of doing things. Sucks for its citizens, but it's a painful thing that the world has to bear until things eventually get better - with china no longer at the fore

Our two votes on lisbon was more more democratic than anything Britain has ever voted on. We had a citizens assmbly to find out why we voted against Lisbon 1. Went to the EU and negotiated changes that we citizens wanted and then voted on Lisbon 2 with the changes we negotiated included. We voted in favor then by a whopping 67% That's about as democratic as you can get, pure democracy.

You say there's a "slowdown" in China, and yet you also say that the Chinese middle class is projected to grow to 1,2 billion by 2027... Well, maybe the slowing of the growth of the raw GDP numbers doesn't mean much, and there are actually more important things like the availability of goods and services? :D

[@user-br5qu9uj9b]

I think Europe, Americas, and Asia is in the prime region on earth to do work. Africa, South America, India too hot to build factories to manufacture. Asians put premium on education. This is not prejudice, it is a data proven fact. It is needed region to solve climate problems.

China's economy is really bad, as it's GDP is expected to grow by 5% in 2023. Its exports to EU countries are not doing good either. FDIs from Europe into China are dropping as well.

Summary: other Asian economies are entirely dependent upon China for growth. The Chinese growth this year is "only" 5%. Therefore...other Asian economies are...better to invest in...?

[@johndoh5182]

Most Asian countries are tired of China being the global manufacturer and THEY want a piece of that pie, and at least Vietnam and India are getting pretty big pieces of it. I don't think the slowdown is going to make much of a difference to most the world. It WILL to investors who unknowingly hold stock or bonds in China, because large firms invest in China, but to the typical person throughout the world, not so much. The slowdown in China is because of a failing housing market which has been a PONZI Scheme and manufacturing moving out. But India and Vietnam can BOTH manufacture products for less cost than China so while there may be some disruption to certain markets as manufacturing moves out of China, it's nothing that's going to be critical to most people.

[@walhdamaskus2408]

Its likely hight end tech firms still invest in to china and low end product will goes to some where else cheaper labours, but not back to Europe or USA. Still 1 % china growth is like the same as india or vietnam 5% growth. Chinese production chain, technologies, skill labaours and scale are stil the world top 1.

This will end up being a good thing for the region. It will force them to be more intertwined with one another than just with China. In addition, the phenomenal growth experienced by China could never be maintained. That kind of growth was only possible because they started from such a poor place. Now, their growth will need to earned the hard way - through true new innovation, which is always difficult. Welcome to the top tier. It's not so easy. In the long term, China has major demographic challenges, so that's one more reason why the region needs to diversify. We'll see what China is made of in the coming years. Have they peaked? Time will tell......
