I'm not a rah, rah USA guy, nor am I a Peter Zeihan perpetual China pessimist, but. . . .
China has some significant problems.
- Their commercial and residential real estate downturn, combined with record youth unemployment, threaten to release pent up domestic tensions.
- Foreign direct investment has declined sharply.
- With few exceptions, their publicy-traded companies have extremely thin margins, rendering them vulnerable to a demand-side downturn.
-Their local governments are functionally bankrupt.
-This is just a suspicion, but I would wager that they have a dollar shortage and part of these discussions related to swap lines. Again, pure speculation by me.
Things certainly aren't all sunshine and roses in the USA. But, China locked down harder and now appears to be feeling the effects of a global slowdown. Should be interesting.
Prepping for the demonic transition from lights out to lights up and oh look! CBDCs are our new currency. Huzzah little people of the world, we have come to save you.
