Chinese Economics Thread

"China Is Pushing Trump to Ease Up on Trade Restrictions in Exchange for Possible Investments" I don't know to what extend this report is true. But if it is then China will be better off just to have the restrictions in place and keep the money they want to invest in the US.

The US economy is in a accelerated death spiral of higher inflation, higher debt, higher interest rates and bigger asset bubbles. Now add to that the chaos created by Donald Trump on top of all of that.

Any money that China invest into the US will only prolong the cold war between the two countries and you are also throwing good money after bad.

China exported 4.29 million vehicles in the first 8 months of 2025. At this rate, China's annual export will be close to 6.5 million this year, despite Russia's increased import tax in anticipation of the end of the Ukraine war. In comparison, China's volume for 2024 was 5.87 million, and the #2 exporter, Japan, sold approx. 4.4 million units overseas the same year.
According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, China exported more than 4.29 million vehicles in the first eight months of this year, up nearly 14 percent from the same period last year. NEV exports surged 87 percent to over 1.53 million units in the period.

I believe Chinese leaders know more about the state of both countries than us on here. So let them do what they are doing. If they are putting this on the table then it means they see more benefits than losses for china overall..so people should calm down. They are not stupid.

As an naturalized American, it is in my best interest that US and China return to a clearly mutually beneficial relationship. Make no mistake, China with good economic relations with America is a wealthier China. American prosperity can't survive with being decoupled from China.

My life would be so much better if the stupid tariffs and barriers against FDI from Chinese companies are gone.

Here is another example why America is doomed. If you go to 37:59 min. the man speaking there is Chris Power the CEO of Hadrian a aerospace and defense startup. He is basically admitting there that he cannot compete with China and the reason for that is Chinese government subsidies and he is calling for more protectionism and tariffs. Leave aside for a moment that a defense and aerospace CEO would openly say that China is ahead and they don't know what to do. There is simply zero introspection how America got to the point that it is now falling behind China while 20 years ago that seems impossible. No questioning of what America has done wrong or what the Chinese have done right. Its just that America can't compete because the Chinese are cheating.
