What China's Slowdown Means for Us All

China's National People's Congress, the annual meeting of the country's top government officials, comes amid a new economic context in 2024. For decades, China’s growth has been tremendous. But now the nation is seeing a significant slowdown. Its housing sector is in its third year of decline, the stock market is touching new lows and youth unemployment remains high. These issues may be a major headache not only for the Chinese people and President Xi Jinping, but they also have big consequences for the rest of the world.
Bloomberg journalists analyze what the end of China’s boom times means for everyone from Chinese citizens to US taxpayers.

Sometimes, a slowdown is not meant to be a negative thing. Globally, overproduction is always an issue, and readjusting the whole supply chain pace may not be a bad thing.

[@DistrustHumanz]

Excellent viewpoint!

[@anarkitty0]

The Problem is China reacts to it's slowdown with even more excess production.

[@Godzilla52]

True, though I think in China's case, their slowdown is a product of government mismanagement (both from things the CCP did in previous decades and more recently from Xi's micromanaging). Structural problems with their economy that need to be reformed and the fact that the government growth policy was based on faulty population metrics (which also ties into the slew of problems created by the One Child Policy). So the housing market, lagging productivity, a rapidly aging population, declining birth rates and an authoritarian government that doesn't always address each of those problems correctly all pile onto the problem. Economies and public policy issues correct themselves all the time, but the issue with China is that it's economy's command oriented aspects tend to operate counter-intuitively due to the CCP's goals occasionally being at odds with the practical realities.

[@Waingro808]

True. Housing will now be cheaper for the younger generation.

Because back in 2010? Their Central Government started cutting of money flow to these developers. Thus why you heard about Shadow Banks and Underground Economy back then, that their Government had to come into to shutdown or regulate. Even then, It took them almost 14 years to get their overheated real estate under control Heck they were about to introduce a nation wide property tax, but then trump started the trade war in 2018 Why is their Central Government doing this? Because there are still a few hundred million poorer rural folk they still expect to move to the cities to join their more well off urban city folk countrymen. Problem is these property developers were building higher end homes, and not building the affordable homes these rural migrants will need In China Owning a home in the city you migrate to?

Actually that's not necessarily true. The entire purpose of a monopoly is to deny consumers choice and thereby price goods higher without having to provide comparable improved service or product. For example, if you had a monopoly on oil or potable water, you could charge whatever you wanted, because the cost to the economy of the people who need your oil would be so incredibly high, they'd pay anything to get it. Same thing with cable companies in the US. Many of them have a local monopoly and are able to charge higher prices because of it.

📝 Summary of Key Points: 📌 China's economic growth has significantly slowed down, leading to deflationary pressures, stock market losses, rising unemployment, and reduced spending on a global scale. 🧐 The slowdown in China's economy is attributed to factors like the property crisis, strict COVID policies, geopolitical tensions, and a confidence crisis due to debt and regulatory crackdowns. 🚀 The economic challenges in China have resulted in job losses, salary reductions, and increased financial struggles for individuals, impacting both domestic and global markets. 💡 Additional Insights and Observations: 💬 Quotable Moments: "This is an economy that became the world's Factory floor by driving up tons and tons of expansion and becoming this giant manufacturing Powerhouse." 📊 Data and Statistics: Nearly one in 3 Chinese office workers reported falling salaries in 2023, the highest share in at least 6 years. 📣 Concluding Remarks: The economic slowdown in China has far-reaching implications, affecting not only the country's citizens but also global markets and political dynamics. Understanding the challenges faced by China is crucial in navigating the evolving landscape of the world economy. Generated using TalkBud

The domestic real estate sector plays a pivotal role in China's economy. However, since 2020, it has been under stringent regulation due to concerns about a potential financial crisis fueled by excessive debt. As a result, a slowdown in economic growth seems inevitable at some point. With a significant amount of capital trapped within the banking system and lacking alternative attractive investment outlets, deflationary pressures have emerged. I believe that China needs to cultivate emerging industries with high investment value to absorb the massive investments that were previously directed towards the real estate market

This video contains too much false information... Many interviewees said they only translated certain sentences and distorted the facts. If I didn't understand Chinese, I would really be misled by this video.

India is still like 4 times behind China. Which means, if China is expected, even in pessimistic "ChinaBad" propaganda, ca. 4% this year, India must grow 16%, to grow the same, in USD.

The video didn't talk much about the reason things are bad in China is because the Chinese factories are getting less orders. This means other countries are buying less and many are in recession already.

Narratives like this are extremely deceiving. Much of the economic indicators don’t tell the whole story and do not take into account various strategic moves China is undertaking to counter western sanctions. Despite this Chinese stock market has actually been surging the past month or so. Domestic consumption and travel are currently higher than pre-pandemic levels. They’ve recently become the world’s largest auto exporters. Despite downturn in real estate market they were still able to hit their GDP growth target of 5.3% which is still 2X most G7 nations. FDI from Europe has also been increasing. All in all they are in a transition phase and adapting to the changes in global economics and geopolitics which is a sign of competent leadership. The next Chapter in China’s growth story will involve much more sustainable focus on high end production and innovation.
