That’s the whole point of it lol. It’s an effective ban on most direct investment even with the savings clause because companies are unlikely to give extremely detailed records over to investors, it increases the administrative burden on investors and creates a chill as to whether certain activities are legal or not (especially that since under IEEPA, the list of prohibited activities can be expanded at any minute). The point of the executive order is to prevent the formation of professional networks to help Chinese firms sell into the U.S. and to chill investment in China of all stripes and the executive order achieves this by it’s very existence, not the particular details of the existence (this is essentially the void for vagueness challenge).

The effect is neither massive nor permanent. There are both long-term and short-term factors driving down economic growth. Short-term factors include 1) being at bottom of economic / investment cycle 2) effects from corrections in real-estate 3) decreased demand in many significant markets for manufactured goods. Long-term factors are 1) less and less low hanging fruit / lower ROI on investment 2) rising labor costs leading to labor-intensive low value-add manufacturing being no longer viable even in 2nd/3rd tier cities 3) already high level of development / output.
Short-term factors is dampening the economic rebound, but it is sound policy to channel the rebound potential into correcting long-term risks rather than pursuing maximal growth for short period of time. Long term growth is never going to bounce back to sustained 6% growth anyways. Sustaining around 5% growth for next decade before dipping even lower to 4-5% is best long-term outlook.
However, in order to achieve and sustain such levels of long-term growth, the policies of the previous decade will not work. Continual policy changes will be needed in order to continue growth and development. There are real risks to long-term growth that needs to be addressed. Despite the economic situation so far this year not being as rosy as some would hope, it is important to not misinterpret the situation and come to the wrong conclusions regarding policy. Government policy makers needs to focus on long term risks and focus on healthy sustained growth and not be distracted by propping up short-term growth to long-term detriment.
No, the increased rates and inflation has nothing to do with demand. The cause is supply shock. East Asian exports is a direct gauge for global demand, and exports are down in all East Asian countries across the board.
How convenient for the UK to cite that the lack of any democratic reform in HK during the entire period of British rule (except for the final 2 of the 150 years) was due to the threat of PRC, and nothing to do with the British were more than happy to not allow HK Chinese to have any say anyway.

do you think this is oil that person has to come stairs of plane?. i have seen many protocols of recent Qatar emir visit to Central Asia. They are unlike anything else.
imagine Arab civilization started in Europe and Europeans born in desert let see who can survive this long. because Arab invasion from North would have been alot ruthless.
They were not idiots even in 1970s. when Shah of Iran was buying that unreliable junk F-14. Arabs were planning F-15 and proper Boeing AWACS. not that uncomfortable E-2.
Dago Dazzlers!
They weren’t even considered for advanced purchases until the fall of the Shah; second choice.
They had to submit to their Zionist masters, first! So-called Muslims submitting to a god other than Allah?
Saudis were flying British Electras, JUNK!!!
Arabs couldn’t defeat Israel in FOUR attempts, dumb, backwards, idiot, losers! Using JUNK Russian equipment!
