Is China Buying or Selling? – Both? The disparity between the press narrative and capital markets is palpable as is between U.S business and defense interests.
While the U.S. press obsesses with China’s destruction, very little stops western investors from bargain hunting in China. Yes, U.S. bans a short list of vital military U.S. exports and U.S. investment in Chinese companies.
When the dust clears, China’s strategy may have paid off with a modest 2023 erosion in U.S. trade even under 15% with bargain hunting investment inflows to China. Perhaps China can even procure a U.S. bailout?
The CCP’s inscrutable centralized coordinated MO is notorious for piling on a public relations narrative and extracting cash from the U.S. In this case, while China transitions to a more manageable economy in their view.
Which way is it? Is China a dire defense threat? Yes, consensus reached. Will plugging holes in the dike of investment flows to China and imports from China result in U.S. or China growth = hegemon?
Markets are not signaling gloom and doom for China’s economy but, the press narrative is…China’s doing? Is this an attempt to blame the U.S. for China’s economic woes and corner markets including EV dumping to U.S. from China?
