      China REALLY doesn't want that. Manufacturing for exports are not simply a 'trade' issue for China, but a critical jobs program that is fundamental to the stability of its society. By putting people to work in factories (EVs, solar panels, etc.) China can keep the population pacified through steadily improving standards of living. If export manufacturing stops, the house of cards collapses. Their inability to kick start a Chinese consumer class & the 'ponziness' of their domestic real estate investment highlights their dependence on exports & ultimately its internal fragility.

      As for their real estate/over heated markets and speculation
      It was their Government that was the one who started to cut off money flow to developers soon to be 15 years ago
      Why you might ask?
      In China in 2008 around 70% of the people in their real estate markets were buying their 1st homes in their cities
      By 2018 around 70% of the people in their real estate markets were buying their 2nd and 3rd homes in their cities
      That’s why you are hearing about problems with their property developers these days. Because back in 2010? Their Central Government started cutting of money flow to these developers.
      Thus why you heard about Shadow Banks and Underground Economy back then, that their Government had to come into to shutdown or regulate.
      Even then, It took them almost 12 years to get their overheated real estate under control
      Heck they were about to introduce a nation wide property tax, but then trump started the trade war in 2018
      Why is their Central Government doing this?
      Because there are still a few hundred million poorer rural folk they still expect to move to the cities to join their more well off urban city folk countrymen.
      Problem is these property developers were building higher end homes, and not building the affordable homes these rural migrants will need
      In China
      Owning a home in the city you migrate to? Affects your employment, health, education and even marriage prospects don’t have a house you don’t get married
      Thus the common prosperity push and the crackdown on the overt displays of wealth in China
      Their Government probably figured out you disenfranchise the people at the bottom of your society they are the ones most likely to act out in protest

      The problem isn't individual owners with mortgages, we need more of those.
      The problem is institutional investors with rentals.
      What should be limited is long term rental properties.
      There's opportunities for joint ownership models that get you into the (have rent but no) start up capital markets.
      The game of creating enough supply to satisfy demand is helped greatly by start up capital.

    Hypothetical Example:
    If the GDP is growing at 2.5% annually while the deficit is increasing by 5% annually, this might indicate an issue, as the economy isn't expanding fast enough to offset the debt growth.
    Conversely, if the deficit is increasing by 1% annually and GDP is growing by 2.5%, the economy might be considered to be in a relatively healthy position. In the 1950s and 60s, the U.S. had trade surpluses or balanced trade, but deficits began to grow in the 1970s. Today, the significant trade deficit is mainly due to the decline in domestic manufacturing, influenced by political negotiations and trade agreements. This situation is worsening and could significantly impact how Americans live and the value of our currency.”

    • @vajliakduke6231
      @vajliakduke6231 29 днів тому +1

      You misunderstood it.
      Trade deficit would be covered by external debt. And the ability to issue external debt (or another words to obtain external capital) depends on future export, or at least the rest of the world believes so.
      GDP is the measure of value of how much your material/economic life gains.
      The size of GDP is much larger than the external deficit, and these 2 don't have to increase/decrease at the same pace.
      Your GDP could be double last year. But if you lost all the abilities to sell something to the outsiders, then a tiny increase in import, thus increase in deficit, is very worrisome

      @polishtheday Місяць тому

      It’s already a mini trend. I’ve thought about this a lot. While I
      still do a fair amount of consuming, I’ve also bought a fair amount of household goods like furniture and clothing secondhand. What started out
      as a way to save money when I was young and not earning much became a lifetime habit. I haven’t even owned a car for most of my life because I didn’t need one. When I bought one for hiking trips a few years ago, I ended up selling it when I realised how little I used it. A lifetime of grocery shopping on foot had become such an ingrained habit that it seemed ludicrous to actually drive to the store.
      What happens to the economy if the majority starts consuming as I
      did, and mostly still do? I’m not making a value judgement, just asking. As I earned more, most of my spending shifted to services, to things like dog walkers, vets and groomers, house cleaners, gym memberships, evening courses and to consumables like electronics that lose their value over time. I’m not rich, more like middle income, and at the lower end of that. My spending just shifted towards things that we once thought as the domain of the wealthy because I was saving by not spending it on other consumer goods. And in some cases saving time.
      Now, what happens to the economy if we stop buying nonessential stuff and nonessential services? Again, this is just a question to which I don’t have the answer. You can be just as happy without consuming or mindlessly following trends.
      I was probably happiest as a poor student technically below the poverty level, so I’ve never equated money with happiness. But many people do and that’s what’s running the machine we call the economy.

    The Economic Crossroads: Trade, Ports, Housing, and Insurance in the U.S.
    The U.S. economy stands at a critical juncture, shaped by intertwined challenges that touch trade, infrastructure, housing, and insurance. These issues, though distinct, collectively reflect the pressures of globalization, climate change, and domestic inefficiencies. Each deserves attention to ensure sustainable economic growth and equitable access to essential resources.
    The Role of the U.S. Trade Balance
    The U.S. trade balance-representing the difference between exports and imports-serves as a barometer of the country’s economic health and its role in the global economy. A persistent trade deficit has fueled debates about its long-term implications. On one hand, importing more than exporting reflects strong domestic demand; on the other, it highlights the erosion of domestic manufacturing and dependence on foreign goods. To address this imbalance, the U.S. must invest in competitive industries, foster innovation, and reevaluate trade agreements to ensure mutual benefits with global partners.
    Inefficiencies at American Ports
    American ports, vital arteries of global commerce, have struggled with inefficiencies that disrupt supply chains and inflate costs. Aging infrastructure, outdated technology, and labor shortages exacerbate delays. These challenges were particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, as bottlenecks paralyzed key ports. Modernization efforts, including digitization and automation, are essential to improve efficiency and competitiveness. Furthermore, a collaborative approach involving federal investment, private partnerships, and labor unions is needed to overcome these systemic hurdles.
    The Crisis of Homeownership
    For millions of Americans, the dream of homeownership is slipping further out of reach. Rising property prices, driven by limited supply, high demand, and increasing construction costs, have collided with elevated mortgage rates, creating a perfect storm of unaffordability. Compounding the problem is the stagnation of wages, which has failed to keep pace with inflation. Policymakers must address zoning restrictions, promote affordable housing development, and expand access to first-time homebuyer assistance programs to alleviate the crisis.
    The Surging Cost of Property Insurance
    Property insurance, once a manageable expense for most homeowners, is now becoming a major financial burden. Climate change has amplified risks, with hurricanes, wildfires, and flooding causing record-breaking losses for insurers. States like Florida, prone to natural disasters, are particularly affected. Insurers, facing mounting claims, have responded by raising premiums or exiting markets altogether. This leaves policymakers with the challenge of balancing the needs of insurers and policyholders. As Florida Insurance Commissioner Michael Yaworsky notes, innovative solutions such as risk-sharing pools, reinsurance programs, and climate-resilient building incentives are critical to creating a more stable insurance market.
    Conclusion
    The U.S. economy is at a crossroads, grappling with issues that demand urgent and coordinated action. Addressing the trade deficit, modernizing ports, making housing more affordable, and stabilizing the insurance market are essential steps for fostering resilience and equity. These challenges underscore the need for forward-thinking policies that align short-term relief with long-term sustainability, ensuring prosperity for future generations.

    The issue with the trade deficit is that it means money from Americans is leaving the country every time they buy a foreign good which has lead to low inflation from 2008 to 2020 and that has lead to FED having to use Easy monetary policy which inflated the value of housing in the US market. This is not a sustainable path. Making goods more expensive is one way but the money is still leaving the US economy so making American goods/services cheaper in relations to foreign imports can help but it needs to be done VERY VERY carefully - a 10% or 25% blanket tariff is highly dangerous and could make US exports too expensive making the USA self sufficient but then totally decoupled from the globalized system which is what happened in the USSR. It was the Globalized system that tore down the USSR. The USA cannot risk making that mistake. If Russia could not maintain an internal economy which ended in 1990 the USA sure can't.
    Another issue is what was said in the view that Americans working in industry can find a path to other work but that is not a solution, low skilled Americans want middle class life style but they will not get that if working in Retail or Services like working for package delivery or serving up coffee is not the respect and quality of life they desire. So we DO NEED TARIFFS to make sure America has industry to support the population demand for low skilled work, it is a MUST, you cannot make low skilled workers have quality of life any other way, Retail, Services, are not the answer, that is a demotion and humiliation that American people every few years with unrest issues in the public.

      CHANCAY PORT SENDS FIRST BATCH OF PERUVIAN BLUEBERRIES TO SHANGHAI
      DECEMBER 2, 2024
      Following a joint announcement by China’s President Xi Jinping and President Dina Boluarte of Peru on Nov. 14 regarding the official commencement of operations at Chancay Port, Peruvian media reports on Nov. 19 confirmed that the new port has successfully sent its first batch of products to Shanghai.
      Chancay Port, located on Peru’s central coast, is a newly constructed deep-water port designed to facilitate direct shipping routes between South America and Asia. The port currently features four berths, including both container and multipurpose terminals, with an annual handling capacity of 1 million TEU. With a depth of around 18 meters, it is designed to accommodate large vessels, including ships up to 400 meters long and capable of carrying 18,000 containers. Chancay Port is part of a broader effort to connect Peru directly to China and other Asian markets, bypassing traditional stops in the United States and Mexico.
      Ships traveling from South America to China typically take more than 45 days to complete the journey, often stopping in Central America, Mexico or the United States. With the completion of Chancay Port, direct shipping routes to China are now possible, reducing the transit time by at least 10 days. The first shipment from Chancay Port to China included fresh blueberries, with nine containers from Camposol and one container from Qali, a subsidiary of Agrícola Cerro Prieto.

    I live near a port and 24x7 is not going to happen.
    The neighbourhood doesn’t want containers being loaded and unloaded and trucks moving in and out at night or on weekends. A local group opposing a new logistics company that has set up on nearby vacant land has the support of the majority, who would like to see the land turned into a park.
    While I understand the importance of the port to the economy, I also understand why the people living right next to this new development might want to sleep at night and to be able to walk around the neighbourhood on the weekend without the noise and diesel fumes. When still vacant, the land was used by families and dog walkers and, in winter, as a place to snowshoe and cross-country ski. Love of the outdoors is deeply embedded in the culture of the community where you’ll see young parents of newborns making sure they get fresh air in below freezing temperatures.
    The presence of railcars and storage tanks nearby that have the potential to explode and/or leak toxic fumes are also a concern. A nearby neighbourhood was recently evacuated because of a fire on a container ship and we were asked to keep our windows closed.
    Maybe the ports should be relocated away from the downtown area of major cities. What once was a workable arrangement isn’t anymore. Some cities have already addressed this by building new deep water ports, so this may be one solution.

    China has about 3.5 trillion of foreign reserve. In 2024 alone it has a trade surplus of more than 700 billion....What about the US? 36 trillion of debts. Interest alone is already 1 trillion a year. Increasing deficit spending and no sign at all the top leaders in the US are interested in fiscal restrain. And yet, I keep hearing the US economy is robust while the Chinese is about to crash? Is this some kind of new economic theory?

    But China isn't floating their currency, as they're required to under the WTO, and they haven't for decades. We have a trade deficit in part because China has held their currency low in violation of their commitments (and no, a "floating band" is not a floating currency.) If they float their currency, it would more likely end up rising, making their goods more expensive and reducing demand for their goods overall. Why won't people talking about the trade balance without discussing currencies?

    Housing inflation has always been solved by supply and demand. However this is particularly acute due to the supply of dollars in the last 3 years about 10T. sooner or later housing will eventually reach its mean pricing, there aren’t enough wealthy consumers to maintain that inflated mean price. Just a matter of time and that means a lot of consumers of homes in the last 3 years will get hurt. Blame the FED for their monetary policies. It just didn’t happen because of boom times only because of policies

The total sum of gain is higher than the totally loss, but the distribution is unevenly spread.
      Hence why it's hard to point to specific gains from efficiency, bit very easy to point to the costs. However if efficiency isn't pursued, the whole of society falls behind over time.

      Immediately, the citizens of the country imposing the teriffs. Their cost spike well ahead of a manufacturer setting up in a tariff free country or building domestically.
      Manufactured goods could take years to get establish in another country. Most Americans living paycheque to paycheque only have about a weeks or 2 of reserve money.
      Meanwhile the manufacturing country just keeps churning out products may be at a low pace but if the good are not from American countries they can move location or choose not to.
      We always look at the IPHONE as an example, of an American company that will more, but people on a tight budget to begin with aren't going to buy a $2000 phone so they're not "Coming to America."
