What concerns me the most is you can never know when the government could intervene and destroy sectors overnight. This is an investor’s biggest fear because while recessions fade and are arguably part of the usual cycle, authoritarian governments have nobody to account to and can remain in power for a long time.
I'm typing this based on what you said right away and haven't listened to all yet, but China's not worried about inflation while the rest of the world is? It's a good thing they can inflate their numbers, except COVID, that must stay at zero at all costs.
Hi Ramin, I hope Japan is on your list for an overview like this video. All are always fantastic. I have learned so much from watching your videos. Thank you!
That was a great analysis. I like the way you weaved in the political situation. Could you possible cast your eyes on the short and long-term prospects of the Pakistani economy as well as the potential opportunities. Thanks :)
Thank you for this information. Could you maybe please go more into the details of the PBOC´s different rates? I mean what they relate to and how they influence each other.
There's so many more layers to this. This is a good introduction to the Chinese house of cards. I'd recommend digging into other channels to get a full spectrum of this titanic wreck on channels like China Insight.
Something else I've seen about China is that wage growth has been steady at about 5% per year for over 20 years. Perhaps another decade or so and their wages will compare with western wages. But this means that the days of relying upon cheaper imported goods from China will come to an end.
Which is kinda what happened to Japan? It's no longer cheap to make things there - although that seems more Japan's loss as their economy never really found a new employment sector. (I thjnk?)
But China still keeps a second lower class of citizens to work factory jobs. Are the wages raising that steadily for them as well? I assume they are too and chinas cheap coat of manufacturing is unsustainable
Very insightful! Thank you Ramin. Emerging Value sounds interesting, but I wonder which Emerging markets? The iShares Edge MSCI EM Value Factor - which seems to be the only available ETF - is with 34.6% invested in China. 🤔
Personally I have been looking into emerging markets focusing on foreign debt, potential forex risk (including energy security here bc it might be mostly about imports) and most of all demographics by education and labor market participation for the next 20 years and up (that rules out China) bc I deem that likely be in lockstep with GDP growth. This approach doesn't have to be a good idea, it's just what I do and is not a recommendation to do anything similar. ETFs and Index certificates aren't looking particularly well put together for markets such as Vietnam (which is kind of where the streams seem to cross most) with the basket often being composed of international corporations currently having stakes in the country; to me that is not what I'm looking for. Also often if you try to buy an index it will be a long investment in the one or two industries that currently dominate that domestic economy. So South Africa could be undervalued but you'd have no way of investing into a diverse index and instead just back mineral prices for better or worse. So, I'm interested in the same thing. And it seems not so easy to reasonably invest.
These are near term aspects, population criss is the major long term factor. If we consider valuation, DCF is not going to cut it. Is there any model that take population growth into account?
Yes indeed. China faces demographic implosion within a generation. 600 million Chinese is forecast for end of the century. There is no economic way out of that. It is said that 'China will get old before it gets rich'.
@@dwal007 I am more pessimistic. Being able to get old would be a luxuary if the country falls into a civil war. Unlike the west, there is a large population employed by the public sector, including the state own enterprises. Many Chinese media have been reporting on local government planning layoffs on an unprecedented scale for the rest of the year, this time including state own enterprises. Looking back in Chinese history, many up rising has been led by ex-civil servants. It would be great if Ramin can dedicate a video to “A survivals' guide to a collapsed China economy" :)
Fear mongering. Will China take over Taiwan, very possible just like they took HK. Does America think it should go to war over it? That is on us not China.
Until they start closing off areas, giving people the best vaccines and let it rip, I don't see things improving. I think they might start doing it after the winter meetings. They'll need to build up some immunity, especially in the elderly population. Hopefully, those test areas do fine and then they can slowly implement more areas. They use the argument of security for choosing their own vaccines, but they don't mention things like seeds (80% imported) which might also be harmful. Would they buy off the IP for the better vaccines and call it there own? BJ has to save face somehow.
Great video as always Ramin. You always manage to provide a valuable perspective on any topic you pick. I don't buy the argument for China's dependence for chips on Taiwan as a deterrent to invade. If China invades and owns Taiwan (assuming they succeed), they own the chip factories. Regardless, it would be a disaster not just for China and Taiwan but for the rest of the world.
What do you know Ukraine is the major supplier of xenon and crypton gases for 70% of global supply. How convenient that we have a war in Ukraine and Shanghai’s largest manufacturing port in the world is disrupted. It’s all a charade. It’s done by purpose.
Taiwan itself manufacture 60 percent of semiconductor chip chips which are now used in everything from smartphone to robots. If china invades Taiwan specially if take over the semiconductor industry, china will gain control of world's electronic manufacturing of semiconductors, so after there is very very high chances of inflations specially of electronics in those nations who have bad relations with china. That's all I know, if I am wrong then feel free to correct me
Slowing growth is not the same as the stagflation that the West is experiencing. China 's debt is going to be paid off by African and Asian markets/ projects, according to their government... Assuming Africa and Asians do not default on payments
Even if the developing countries do default China Will get its pound of flesh. China is following the model the British Empire followed. Economic dependency leading to political control.
Excellent video. But in a financial channel could we not pass judgement on China by calling their Covid policy 'disastrous'? For a proper assessment one would need to consider per capita deaths in China versus the west for same amount of period etc. I don't think it's appropriate to comment on a serious subject, outside of economy, in this financial discussion. Thanks.
Chi does not think like a capitalist. Planning to invade Taiwan one day makes China and Hong Kong uninvestable for a long term investor despite China’s great potential and low valuation.
India seems to be emerging reasonable well from the Pandemic , especially with all that cheap Russian oil & gas. To early to say , but might be a good decade for the country ?
UK and China may both be cheap, but even if the west starts to diversify more in where it gets it's goods made, which seems likely and sensible, I still think China will pick up again in the medium term. For the UK apart form it's most successfull multinationals there will be nothing doing for a long time without a better solution to our current trade woes ( don't mention the B word)
What about the warm winter coming soon in Europe? Is it as important as the economic crisis in China? Is this video some remedy for anxious Westerners?
@@thekingoftheworld9553 No, the CCP forced all investment into housing market, you had no choice as a private citizen. There is no free stock market, no overseas investment (not allowed to transfer money out of the country).

@@Drakal169 yes agreed, societal implosion could well happen too
china is not dependent on trade to taiwan.
Itll be interesting to see how itll impact the western companies that offshored operations
Which is the vast majority of western companies that sell goods…
Erm ok
Not only offshored production but also a big sales market which accounts for a large chunk of their revenues.
Investing in china would be ignoring future trends. Equivalent of swimming naked.
My biggest concern is a worsening econimic war with china
Fear mongering. Will China take over Taiwan, very possible just like they took HK. Does America think it should go to war over it? That is on us not China.
Which could be a run in to a real war unfortunately.

What use are the vaccines?
Pay in full? So there’s no mortgage? No banks in China? I’m against CCP but this is too much.
