China Fading Rapidly - Joe Blogs
China’s once-booming economy is fading fast.
Exports have fallen for the first time since February, imports are down, and retail sales have lost momentum. Producer prices have now dropped for an incredible 37 consecutive months, inflation is close to zero, and confidence inside China is slipping away.
In this video, I break down the latest data showing just how severe the slowdown has become — and why Beijing’s stimulus efforts aren’t reversing the decline. From shrinking global demand to domestic deflation and a weakening yuan, the world’s second-largest economy is showing real signs of strain.
In this video:
• Why China’s exports and imports are falling
• The worrying trend in retail sales and consumer confidence
• Deflation, producer prices, and weak demand
• How global trade is shifting away from China
