Louis-Vincent Gave: Understanding China’s Economy, and U.S. Competition - #50

[@mattslowikowski3530]

This is one of the best podcasts on China I have listened to in a long time.

[@miltonwang21]

Except that the host really cutting in to guest’s speaking too abruptly and often. Still. It is a great program.👏🏽

[@AndreasAltermann]

Louis-Vincent Gave is fantastic. I hope he has the luck he deserve. Really good interviewer also, a pleasure to listen.

[@mikhailfranco]

L-VG is always worth listening to: eloquent, informed, grounded. Great to hear his backstory in the intro.

[@lkkoh777]

I’m a Chinese from Singapore but I think Monsieur Gave knows more about Chinese than me!!

[@jamesho8820]

Gentleman thanks for your most informative, crystal clear discussion about China's economy free of the anti-China propaganda so common in the Western media. I was just in China and was completely "blown away" at the infrastructure and technological prowess. Restaurants and shops full of customers. Not quite what has been reported. I plan on going back in March and probably again in the Fall of 2024. China's success is the best revenge against its many detractors!

[@Andy-P]

Love when any commentary that doesn't put China in a good light is antii-china. People who do that should be arrested? His business is in HK so that won't be going well. So I would expect him to talk up China. His financial livelihood depends on it

[@hdvoice]

@@Andy-Pyou realize how ridiculous your comment was? The guy was simply saying LVG and the host were able to talk about China without geopolitical nonsense. How was that “talk up”

[@Andy-P]

@@hdvoice Agreed this interview was good and mainly neutral. Geo politics isn't non sense when investing in China and Chinese stocks have been poor performers 90% of FDI into China last year came back out again. I'll listen again to see if I missed something. Evidence to say he is bias is criticing Japan Yen. Both China & Japan engage in merchantilism with intervention in the currencies But one country is underming the west while the other isnt

[@louiselu6757]

⁠​⁠@@Andy-PChina hawks always assume 3 things about anyone saying anything positive about China: 1. They’re getting paid by CPC 2. Their business depends on saying only things CPC approves of 3. They or their family work for the CPC Why is it so hard for Westerners, especially Americans, to believe anything positive about China? China has 6-day, Visa-free entry for anyone to visit. Go and see for yourself. Break free from being brainwashed by western MSM.

[@barrywong4327]

Fabulous, insightful and informative conversation. I was totally absorbed. I wish it was 2 hour longer. Thank you!

[@imusobo]

A fantastic, honest and enlightening conversation

[@jamesho8820]

I recently had dinner with a cousin who works for TSMC in Taiwan who concurred with the reports that the company has had difficulty in finding engineers to staff its new Arizona operations. Not surprisingly there are not many American professionals willing to work the standard 12 hour work days, 6 days/week (996) typical of Taiwanese employees. He points out the differences in work culture and company expectations. Not what Biden and Congress had expected.

[@Andy-P]

I guess the young Taiwanese would love to work in America with its better working conditions?

[@SagittarianArrows]

Thanks for that insight, wow didn't know they work like that. Suppose that's the Japanese traits from WWII.

[@victoriajade521]

@@Andy-P Americas working conditions for white collar jobs and not the service industry were more often than not needs to work 2 jobs to support their families. Get your facts right/straight. It’s hilarious how people like you don’t understand or realize the reality of federal minimum wages of $7.25 per hour when cost of living caters to the white collar and elites.

[@rohand03]

This deserves much more views than currently has

[@orresearch007]

Thanks. It is always a good listen to any of LV Gave's conversations.

[@unifieddynasty]

Excellent points all around. Regarding the higher youth unemployment rate, that explanation aligns with my own experience of Chinese families. If the kid attended college and is staying home and waiting for a white collar job, most likely their family is still well-off by Chinese standards. That means two parents, gainfully employed, and saving most of their money for their single child. That also means four grandparents, all gainfully employed and either still employed or retired with their pensions, also saving most of their money for their single grandchild (or ~2-3 grandchildren, if preceding the policy). That also means the kid can expect an inheritance not only of money but of their parents' property or properties, as well as their grandparents'. It is a challenge to provide more white collar jobs as China transitions to a higher-value jobs market, for sure, but it is by no means a cataclysmic event as so often portrayed in the west.

[@historialz]

Great interview. Best I've heard on China since long. Aligns with my own experiences. In all the propaganda this is great

[@mistman5640]

As a tar heel family, I still can not accept the fact that Louis went to Duke， even though I like his ideas. All joking aside, one indicator of Chinese economics size is Chinese military spending vs their military size. China spends 1/3 of what US spends, but get a large and comparable military.

[@kalipotmeng]

This guy has figured out many things 👍

[@ShaunKheng]

Great conversation, do that again and more often.

[@richardteo1886]

Thank you for this, love it.

[@dancerinmaya6813]

Thanks for the wonderful conversation, it's fun, honest and thought provoking. Please get him back more often...Gave is one of the least ideology-afflicted and most lucid insightful and honest investment guys out there🥰🥰🥰. Also Steve asks the most probing/re-focusing questions, and sometimes teases out the key points very timely for listeners as Gave immerses in his poetic piling up/framing--it's despairing when you know too much but have so limited time to say it.🥰

[@SLF-o2w]

Steve’s last name? Why Manifolds?

[@justinsteele6308]

Amazing interview 😳 More guys like this pls. Man what a based little podcast :)

[@OppoA17k-uy7qg]

A very interesting and insightful discussion on US- China economy in particular and world affairs in general.👍

[@KristofferTrolle]

What a great podcast, thanks to the both of you!

[@fredfrond6148]

While I am impressed with the deep insights of Monsieur Gave I would love to get some insight on actionable investment insights. Maybe another podcast or do I have to pay to subscribe to the Gave-Kal publications?

[@Po-village-chief]

this is the most insightful western analysis of Chinese economy I have seen in many years and trust me I have read a lot about the subject.

[@farhatsheikh8441]

@@bellakrinkle9381 Has Ben Norton ever talked about his personal background and how he ended up in Nicaraguan?

[@PahatRout]

Gave's opinions are so relevant to the whole issue of progress based on achievements of the Chinese students. Though those with preconceived ideas are really simpletons who either could not compete or simply racists. Based on all international "competitions" on STEM subjects, the Chinese students practically stole all the top medals and surely they will carry such knowledge to their workplace. Anywhere, I don't think the Chinese leadership is unduly concerned with the negative opinions circulated across the world, as they are getting the results they have projected especially in infrastructure and manufacturing.

[@stephenlock7236]

All the anti China and sinophobic western narratives are but empty talks for China. China will not allow such narratives to distract it from what it planned to achieve.

[@stoneyelmo1572]

Can the host stop interrupting and let Louis finish????? What is the purpose of the interview? To interview or to express yourself? I am here to listen to Louis!

[@AndrewLyons-s4p]

Purpose is to air the most commercials, of course.

Raising tax is not politically feasible, higher and longer inflation is the only way to cope with mounting public debt

[@HectorYague]

For as long as public spending remains out of control, neither taxes or inflation will solve the debt problem. Everything starts with a severe reduction of governamental spending so we stop the bleeding, and then we can decide whether we take the tax pill or the inflation pill.

[@peterwilliams7335]

The U.S. is nothing without foreign born top researchers, scientists and suppler skilled people and vast majority of them are Chinese and other Asians. Although Most the innovations created in the U.S. are the results of hardworking by the Chinese, the Jews and white Americans took the credit. To the public, the Jews and white Americans pretend as if they are the ones who made the contribution to American society not the Chinese. Make things worse, in the U.S., the media and political parties constantly spread anti-China sentiments and discredit and suppress China’s success stories. All of these is to paint a dark and backward impression about the new China and to fool the world.

[@HectorYague]

The host needs to STOP interrupting the guest. Most annoying!

[@fredfrond6148]

Nothing like Joe Kernan on the CNBC morning show. Where Ray Dalio, the most successful hedge fund manager ever had to say “let me speak!” In a very exasperated voice. None of that happened here.

[@mechannel7046]

I wish Steve would talk less and let the guest talk more

[@Cadallin]

Incomes don't follow a bell shaped curve. @56 minutes the guest goes into this discussion but his whole premise is flawed. Incomes don't follow a normal distribution. They follow a completely different curve called, the Pareto distribution. (Which also, as it turns out, has a completely different shape than the bell curve.)

[@relax-ie3mp]

I think the idea is that when the medium income increases, the consumption power increases by a multiple times.

[@Cadallin]

@@relax-ie3mp He's right in the effect, but in premise, I mean he gives entirely the wrong reasons. He brings up the income distribution, and then uses the wrong statistical terminology to describe it.

[@stephenyang2844]

I don‘t see China catching up generally but in a few domains; afterall, ten times number of engineers don’t equate to 10 times innovation. It is a diversity of people and skills plus the environment conducive to open-minded exploration that bring about innovations.

[@skydragon23101979]

Actually that’s a myth innovation at the highest levels requires huge professional and expert knowledge. It has very little to do with creative environments if you are talking about breakthrough in hard sciences and technology. The place where creativity is great is consumer products. But you want to solve technological difficulties creativity helps but it’s minimal. So meaning your communications network your high speed rail your rocket engines those don’t require that much creativity. The place where creativity is needed is more software and for example who do I use flexible LEDs besides screens.

[@sportsonwheelss]

Keep drinking the cooled. If you have not notice, the Chinese are carrying both science and math olympiad teams on both continents. Chinese team took more gold for the last two decades. That mean the team in China is the A team while the one in the States is the B team. Most of the Kids that can't make the gaokao have to resort to study aboard. The Anglo sphere have been saying the Japanese only know how to steal and copy tech in the 70's -90's. Their cars are crappy tin can that would never amount to anything. Now they are bashing the Chinese. The Chinese are no Japanese. They are not on a lease like the Japanese, so we have to see how well containment go.

Chinese universities are at a much higher level than the US. The top univerities in the US are very mediocre. Chinese university is at a much higher level than the US. And american tech is not possible without chinese-asians. Chinese who work in america have revolutionized the tech industry. So many inventions and the speed of elevating technology by asians in the tech sector. The invention of thin film is just ine revolutionary example. The cpus, gpus, quantum computing, etc. Its endless.
