China’s economy in period of ‘deflation’ - BBC News

- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- China's imports and exports fell more sharply than expected last month as weaker global demand threatened the recovery prospects of the world's second-largest economy.
Official figures show that exports fell by 14.5% in July compared with a year earlier, while imports dropped 12.4%.
The grim trade figures reinforce concerns that the country's economic growth could slow further this year.
It will increase pressure on Beijing to help boost the post-pandemic recovery.

The fin-Market;s have underperformed the U.S. economy as fear of inflation hammers the prices of stock;s and bonds. My portfoliio of $750k is down to $592k any recommendation;s to scale up my return;s during this crash will be highly appreciated.
Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.
Svetlana Sarkisian Chowdhury is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..
Thank you for this tip. it was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.
One major factor was left out is that we are seeing global inflation. I saw it in the news that most countries are all competing for parts , products food etc. Even nations that managed their rates better are seeing major issues. The glut of money was an issue sure, but the surging demand from nation that re-opened from covid lockdowns played a larger role. Add to this pandemic-related staffing issues and the intentional global oil supply problems and its a nightmare. I known the intention was to explain inflation but that doesn't do justice to the current inflation on a global scale.
People are really working hard and there is little or nothing to show for it. everybody is basically working to sort out one bill or the other no savings.
Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire..
Well agreed, you know it was way easier to navigate the financial market up till 2020, ever since it’s been dip over dip, I had to source for a certified financial advisor known as John Desmond Heppolette, to revamp my entire investment portfolio in order to hedge against inflation. It’s been over years following his guidance and I’ve grown a $370k account to almost $2.5m thus far.
I’ve been down a ton, I’m only holding on so I can recoup, I really need help on my investment portfolio. I just discovered his exceptional resume when I made a Googled search of his names. I consider it a blessing that I discover this comment area!
Thanks for the advise, finding John Desmond Heppolette, was a simple process. Before we planned our phone call, I made a research of his full names online, based on his online resume he appears to be knowledgeable and well accredited..
As a foreigner who lived through the entire duration of zero covid for the past 3 years in China, this is by far the most objective commentary I’ve seen on UA-cam to date. Economists and business leaders are voicing concerns at the start of 2023 that the year could be a difficult one. JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said Tuesday that the Federal Reserve may need to raise interest rates to 6% to fight inflation, higher than the peak level between 5% and 5.5% in 2023 that most Fed officials penciled in after their December meeting. Although I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $500k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist
Emotionally-charged decisions to sell off large quantities of stocks or other investments now lock in your losses, removing any chance for future growth.
A 2020 Northwestern Mutual study found that 71% of U.S. adults admit their financial planning needs improvement. However, only 29% of Americans work with a financial advisor.
Very true, a huge part of my portfolio growth has come during this bear market. I've been able to scale from $180K to $572K in a short period of time. I basically was just following the steps and guideline from my financial advisor. as long as you've professional help, you're good to go
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service? Seems you've figured it all out.
Well i won't say i have...Her name is ‘Catherine Morrison Evans’ can't divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can research if you like
It's interesting to learn more about the discussions and proposals around BRICS nations and their potential use of gold. There are several reasons why people may choose to buy gold, including its historical use as a store of value and means of exchange, its potential as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and its relative scarcity compared to other commodities.
Additionally, gold can offer diversification benefits to investment portfolios, as it tends to have a low correlation with other asset classes like stocks and bonds. However, it's important to note that investing in gold carries risks and may not be suitable for evervone. and investors should carefully consider their investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation before making any decisions
However, it is unclear how a new currency backed by gold would function in the current global financial system and whether it would gain widespread acceptance. Ultimately, any decision to create a new currency would be subject to numerous economic, political, and logistical considerations.
Investing in gold is a reliable choice, and I plan to keep buying more to make up for my losses. While silver is also a good investment, my collectibles are not as similar. It's important to have clear investment goals and educate yourself on the type of investment that interests you..
That is why I work with Colleen Janie Towe, who introduced me to a better financial community, a verified organization where I learned how investing works and how to invest proficiently, as well as free books, courses, and daily lectures. You also get to meet new people, which was the best decision I ever made..
Do your due diligence and opt for one that has tactics to help your portfolio continue consistent and steady growth. "Colleen Janie Towe" is accountable for the success of my portfolio, and I believe she has the qualifications and expertise to accomplish your objectives.
In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.
The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.
Despite utilizing the correct strategies and possessing the right assets, there can still be variations in the investment returns among different investors. It is important to acknowledge that experience plays a crucial role in investment success. Personally, I realized the significance of this and sought the guidance of a market analyst, which enabled me to substantially grow my account to nearly a million. I strategically withdrew my profits just before the market correction, and now I am taking advantage of the buying opportunities once again.

Deflation is usually worse than inflation. High unemployment leads to lower spending, result in cutting prices, which cause deflation. This leads to lower profit for companies which lays off even more people, which results even lower spending... It's a vicious cycle downward where both companies and people lose.
Yes. Japan experienced this in the 1990’s and its effects are still being felt.
Caused by government regulations and other socialist policies, the free market china had in 1990-2016 was amazing 👏🏻 when I lived in mainland China it was great, it made Europe look like a socialist shithole but unfortunately now their economy is stagnating like Europe, atleast they have some infrastructure there that is quite developed
No necessarily. There is also stagflation
@@p.h.3987No. China’s economy is endangered. Its population is minimizing debt instead of maximizing revenue & profit. No growth. No innovations.
@@willdejong7763
Every economy goes through a "bust and boom" cycle; people talk about Japan's deflationary decade, but so what? Japan experienced its best economic expansion since 1950, when occupied Japan returned to independence. From 1950 to 1993 it's like 43 years of expansion... what will happen...but 43 years no country can repeat this! If you want to be a real economist.
As far as inflation versus deflation is concerned, nothing lasts forever, and China experienced “negative” population growth last year; for the first time since 1962, when the population was smaller than the year before.
Summary: Both Japan and China have had the longest economic expansions = Japan is among the top 25 income countries in the world, but small and earthquake-prone; while China has lifted some of its people out of poverty = record 43 years , longest expansion ─ Japan; 30 years of China = achievement only pundits/countries (including Elon Gates) talk about but not done.
Regards,
Very true. Currently the biggest problem is the housing industry. Chinese government take selling the land to the developer as their biggest income. The price for housing has been inflating in the past 20 years. Regular Chinese young people can no longer pay for the expensive housing, and don't even want to consume anything except for daily necessities. This is why the country is facing the deflation. To solve the problem, Chinese government should improve the salary and the social security system for the people. But it's impossible because all the money have flown to the rich and the governors.
BBC 🐑
If they raise wages, Companies will pull out and move to another country to set up factories.
China is facing what the west had to go through decades ago when factories moved to China.
Talking out your backside, no one in China can buy or own land. All land is either subject to government ownership or collective municipal ownership.
@@FoodwaysDistributionthus making it worser, and damaging value of Realestate even more for masses as masses truly DONT EVEN OWN THE LAND
if you ever heard of social credit system china has, then you will realize that it's not salary and security system is the problem. the problem is their centralization development. this happens in almost every nation. no matter how good the rate of improvement a city has, it always has a limit. take example of japan and china, how their main cities growth being pushed over the last couple of decades and now they're stuck leaving demographic problems. cities and rural area needs to be worked out at the same time so if one is slowing down, the other can bring more options
Deflation occurs as a side effect of people not having enough money to spend on things.

I really don't think the prices are dropping except for the housing price. Housing price has definely significantly dropped, even halved, but most consumer products are still maintained at a very high price and showing no sign of dropping.
That’s true. Living cost is higher than before and it’s against the deflation’s definition.

Deflation is just as bad as companies won’t make money causing places to go bust
Nonsense, and not all companies are selling consumer goods.
They're talking about PPI as much as CPI, PPI is how much companies pay for input, lower input prices means higher profit....
@@xavdeman I run two business I can tell you Both businesses and individual consumers decrease spending as they cope with paying higher debts. Unemployment: When prices drop because of deflation, company profits fall along with them.
Also keep in mind If deflation continues for a prolonged period of time, businesses might need to cut costs by making workers redundant.
This was taken of the web but it happens so if your saying it isn't bad tell that to the staff made redundant he need to feed their families.
And than all lose their jobs.
in what area was deflation happening dont just sa in other parts of the world
Hasn't made it to Tamu, Shien, or Ali Express yet...
I will take deflation anytime. The reason why China does not experience inflation is because it did not print money at will during the pandemic like the "West" did. Also, China does not follow the US' manipulation of the US monetary policy, which purposely increases its interest rates and coerce other countries to follow, leading to many worsening economic downturns in countries such as the EU, Britain, Canada, and Australia. But unlike the EU, the US can stomach the negative impact of inflation because the US has been selling oil to the EU at 3X the normal price.
Lol are you serious? China is de facto KNOWN for currency manipulation. Also are you kidding with China not pumping money due to the pandemic when it pumped more than the equivalent of 5 trillion USD??
That’s the problem of not studying economics properly . I agree high inflation is bad . But deflation is worst . It’s like dominos effect . Deflation is worst for consumers if u understood economics well
Printing money would not solve deflation in a manufacturing country. Chinese will just exit the yuan for other medium of exchange or value like usd or gold. They still would not consume anything because now their pay is even worst as it is still in yuan. And they will lose jobs because their company products are not selling... and the cycle continues....
@@jayakishore565
don't worry, china will never experience extreme bursts like the US and Japan did. chinese economy is controlled by the government, any unwise market decisions, for instance like the irrationality of americans in regards to the housing market during the early 2000s, will be handled by the chinese government.
chinese government handle them seriously, they imprison greedy bank owners or they prohibit goods from being sold to people, and people won't complain or go to a rally or something or else they will be imprisoned.
whereas in america, the best that the gov't can do is warn people, they can have economic advisors and tell them to do their thing on tv, and people won't listen to them because of they're ignorance or because they just don't trust the government, they are either libertarian or it's just a republican-democrat thing.
it's not unlikely that extremely capitalist nations like US and Japan will experience similar bursts in the future. Europe is more conservative and therefore as better grip of their economy. they have more socialist economic policies and they also have more responsible and conservative consumers. they only experience these economic downturns recently because of politics, particularly: listening to america too much and antagonizing the big economic global players in the world (Brazil, Russia, India, China).
just listen to this, european countries just accept the sad reality that they would be spending 3x more on energy, oil, and fuel simply because america told them to buy from her instead of their adversary russia. and they keep sanctioning businesses and keep funding stupid and useless policies such as green policies and gender equality trash.

It’s hard to buy houses everywhere in the world for younger people. The rate of interest raises significantly compared to salary wage throughout the years. I don’t think this problem only happens in China solely.

Deflation only happens in countries that are extremely developed. Eg: Japan, Denmark
Japan took 20 years after saturating for deflation to hit. Not a few months.
You think China which is only 50% saturated has deflation??
Deflation never happens in a developing country.
Housing prices are dropping because of the massive housing reforms. These reforms don’t allow for speculative profit makers anymore. Therefore people will purchase homes 🏠 only for living and not in the hopes of selling it at higher rates.
China introduced these reforms because if not this bubble will burst in 2026 and cause major chaos.
The slow down in GDP is also attributed to this plus recession in foreign markets which reduced exports.
So please take this with a pinch of salt.
Do you see more Chinese immigrants or less??

deflation had a good and bad perspective...good is always to the consumers where of course they could spend their money on goods and services once unaffordable. The bad thing is a curse on those who had debt repayment either in property or stock up goods to sell. It will force them to sell below the suppose market price with a margin loss. Even worse is the bank loan on property purchase. Even everything got cheaper but loan value still remain at pre deflation level.
So your labor goes further, but your gambling may not pay off as well. Got it.
sounds good to me.
Nothing is worse than seeing your wages unable to keep up with the cost of living. Over the long run inflation will cause weaker consumer demand thus it is the most destructive economic phenomena known to man. There is zero benefit to inflation.
@@rizkyadiyanto7922 You like it until your employer begins to lay off people because the profit margin decreases due to the revenue shrink even though the same amount of commodities has been sold. The layoff further reduces the household income then reduce the spending of consumers then lead to further decrease in producer's revenues, then more layoff...vicious cycle begins. At first you like the steak price is reduced from $5 to $4, then suddenly you can't afford $4 now. That's the ultimate dark side of deflation.

Infrastructure costs money long term. I've seen this thing in Greece, Italy, Spain, South Africa, Ireland, Cairo, Detroit, Russia, yet China still got done by it. Banks hand out money to citizens. Politicians get kickbacks from property developers, while the economy booms for ten years and everybody says "wow the Celtic tiger".

You clearly have no clue about China. It's CPC for starters you Muppet 👍🏿
Actually CCP isn't the one sending warships half around the world to bully other countries. Neither have they built military bases in other countries used to launch drone strikes in the middle east and Africa killing innocents and bombing countries into submission.
They have the right to be ambitious and compete, the fear of the west is that China would overtake them in power and influence and the fact that most countries in the global south chose China over the west fueled their envy and rivalry with China.
People that criticize China just can't see their own bias and hypocrisy. They're so blind. They criticize China because the anti-China western media conveniently is. It's called group think effect and conformity in psychology. You don't reason, you just conform

Deflation: bad
Nothing happens: bad
Wrong if its related to China everything is bad, even people thinks sun bear fake. if its happen in Britain everything is good including Brexit.
No news like bad news.
So....The complaint over there is that the prices are going down?... I'll trade you economic issues!
I disagree when people say deflation is worse than inflation. Deflation, while still bad, gives time for the economy and gov't to make adjustments and reforms to get back on the healthy side of things. Inflation can spike up very easily, creating chaos and violence. Your bread or lack thereof will cost 20x more in less than a week!
@@kira-le9qr Japan is still doing fine even with 3 decades of deflation. No one is starving. The country isn't collapsing.
I respect your pov, but I come from a relatively poor family back then, and I know even a 10% hike in any daily necessities put poor families in a very difficult and stressful position. I've never personally experienced a deflation, but based on what they've described, it's a better situation for poor families and countries because it gives time to adjust, which is very helpful. You can't adjust inflation, the after-effects takes at least several months to a year...

Because production is increasing. There is more supply than demand. That is why the prices drop happened in their country. They are experiencing deflation. Bravo china 🇨🇳
When a third of your economy (China's Real Estate sector was about 33% of their GDP, significantly higher than most countries) is a bubble that has popped, and isn't coming back anytime soon, it isn't surprising that deflation is taking hold. Exports are similarly in the tank for China due to their relations with the West.
😂😂You idiots, believe what the bbc says, real estate accounts for no more than 6% of China's gdp, it just makes you believe that the Chinese economy is about to collapse again, completely ignoring the facts, cnn bbc is the world's two major professional fake news, this is me I have heard the most fake news media, especially the description of China and Russia. If I remember correctly, a bbc idiot even said that real estate accounted for 67% of China’s share. There are also stupid beliefs. 😂😂😂😂 It can be seen often See how mentally handicapped the brain is.
China's GDP grew by 6.3% in the second quarter, and its exports were mainly from ASEAN and the vast number of developing countries. The West ≠ the world, and the West's own inflation and high prices have basically led to low consumption by Western people. This is the real situation.
@@semanadelherrero Hahahaha. You actually believe Chinese propaganda. You're either a sucker or a Wumao.
@funnymudpee-tf3dg Well if you notice my original post, I talked about the collapsed Chinese real estate market that was over 30% of the Chinese economy, which is now dead in a ditch with companies like Evergrande and Country Garden completely dead in the ditch. That plus exports is half the economy, and if you don't think that sinking half the economy is bad, you aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
A modest deflation seems to me a good hedge against the appearance of a general darkening and slowing.

Yes but that has a cost, it’s deflating because businesses are going out of business
Other countries "the cost of living is too unaffordable" China "the cost of living is getting too affordable"
Inflation means lower prices, lower profits, LOWER PAY, less production and higher unemployment. The younger generation and those laid off can't find a job. Deflation means economic decline. Much worse than inflation.

Sorry should have proof read my comment. I meant deflation.
In China wages go up as prices come down as infrastructure improvements thrive. In the West prices go up as wages stagnate and infrastructure either collapses or is passed into the hands of rentiers, while all the time we're lead up the garden path by a co-opted media and political class.

Inflation is bad for middle class below citizens. Deflation is bad for business owners.
In this global economic downturn, China's economy is still predicted to grow more than that of the west, especially the U.K.
That's because they have a successful system that works for the people & not just for the wealthy but the BBC won't tell you that of course.
USA has more stable growth than China 😂
Easy to do that when China cooks their books. They are always lying about their gdp, unemployment figures etc. China's economy is on it's knees but China are covering it up left right and centre
To be fair, western concept of GDP is calculated as real GDP growth + inflation, all that matters is how much money changes hand, and inflation means more money changes hand

Recover from what...their doing fine compered to us ..not up to our ears in government debt and inflation like in the west... that's not happening in china!!.🤔
Would that mean their population are decreasing at a tremendous rate, which led to less demand?
No. The drop in demand is not because of a decrease in the Chinese population.
One possibility is that China is having trouble with youth unemployment. I believe unemployment in the 18-24 age group is about 20% (they seem to be graduating a ton of university students, but don't have enough positions to absorb this skilled labour), and when people don't have jobs, they don't have money to spend of course.
@@craven5328 Make sense
Or it means their companies compete with each other. Just like it used to be in the West.
@@alexbort3082 Possibly. Although, if there was a lot of increase in competitive intensity, my thought is that they would need more of these skilled workers, no? For example, if new firms entering the market were the cause of increased competition, they would need employees. Also, if competitive intensity has increased due to existing firms being more efficient/productive (through innovation or R&D), I would sort of expect the easily automated jobs to be those at risk, and skilled labour to be more in demand (as those are the types of jobs typically needed if you want to innovate)?
L0wer property prices cause so much deflation that other items causing inflation are being overshadowed. MAY BE there is a case of too much oversupply in case of property market.
Money / GDP = simplified inflation (deflation) rate
Classic inflation: governments print more money, increasing the numerator faster than the growth of the economy.
Classic deflation: Weak demand and economy causes the denominator to fall while the money supply stays the same.
Classic deflation is when supply of goods and services exceed demand, not supply of money.
How does China go about decreasing the money supply and what would be the ensuing consequences?
Maybe it's just a very small thing, but me and a lot of my friends were used to buy stuff on Aliexpress or Alibaba, but we stoped that over a year ago because we started to understand that China is becoming a real (economic) threath to us. We might be just some silly Western buyers, but I don't think we are the only ones thinking that way.
well the world is telling you, you need this and that. And you really don't need marketing, innovation, jobs.... All you need is food, shelter and water.
This is the sort of small minded stupidity from Westerners. The rest of the world will rise with China who build infrastructure with a purpose to increasing business. Unlike the USA who builds military bases.

It’s wrong to look at economic success in terms of inflation and deflation.
A much better measure of long term economic success is the efficiency with which money passes from consumer to producer (without being intercepted by greedy politicians), and also the extent to which political interference creates monopolies
You mean "let the capitalist vulture Rob people blind." Without consumer protection like mandatory warranty on faulty products etc
China has two problems with Russian cutting off Natural Gas to Germany the German economy has gone into recession. 40% of China exports go to the Eurozone that Germany. Also, the Chinese local housing boom has bust so now the CCP has said it will not bail out the Chinese housing sector so these two factors are creating massive amounts of "Deflation" within China right now.
So companies buying other companies does not create monopolies?
Money being intercepted by greedy shareholders and CEOs rather than going to the workers that produced the goods is success?
@@juanmiguelreyesguerr the difference between a politician and a business man is that one has the power to impose their will using violence, and the other does not. If a worker thinks they’re being underpaid, they’re free to ask for a raise, go to a different employer, or take out a loan to start their own business
Deflation means things get cheaper for the common folk. I’d rather that than inflation - all things being equal.

This is great news for the west. China is known for being a larger exporter than importer. China has one of the world's largest economies and has established itself as a major global manufacturing hub. Its export-oriented economy has led to a significant trade surplus, meaning that its exports exceed its imports. Thus this is overall good news for the west.
Fuck the west 😂 and fuck china also
Correct your mistake: China is the world's largest exporter with $3593.6 billion. It is also the second largest importing country (the United States $2852.6 billion, China $2653.1 billion). If China is not an importing country, the GDP of many countries, such as South Korea, will decrease by at least 5-10 points.
