training department of the company he is also a professor at peing University in Beijing the entire speech is worth a read for those interested in this topic the East is read has provided an excellent summary of shu's points Shu argues that the significantly lower consumption to GDP ratio in China compared to the global average quote is the fundamental cause of the country's lackluster domestic demand and economic slowdown end quote he attributes the slow consumption level to unusually High savings rates with both Enterprise and household savings rates remaining notably elevated this is in STK contrast to other economies where the two rates typically exhibit a negative correlation Shu highlights the profoundly obstructed channel of income transfer from the corporate to the household sector as the primary reason behind the distinctive consumption pattern quote the extensive presence of state-owned Enterprises in China whose profits and dividends primarily flow to the state rather than households diminishes the wealth effect that might otherwise stimulate household consumption end quote nor is the highly concentrated ownership of many Chinese private Enterprises doing much to increase the wealth or consumption of The Wider population furthermore Shu points the absence of an efficient market mechanism again a result of the disconnect between the corporate and household sectors to balance the distribution of national income between consumption and investment quote this shortfall means the household sector is unable to influence corporate dividend policies resulting in excessive corporate savings and overinvestment end quote next up for the economy Beijing appears to be serious about addressing the payment issues foreign visitors have in the People's Republic of

reduced rates applicable to certain transactions in comparison foreign cards costs typically range from 2 to 3% of the transaction value quote which disincentivizes local Merchants from using systems

bank cards next up several large tomes manufacturers are considering setting up a second headquarters overseas to ensure that they can keep operating in the event of a Mainland attack on their country

looking into the planning or setting up of a second headquarters the groups are in manufacturing and currently looking for a location for a second headquarters in Southeast Asia just in case an emergency happens in Taiwan to give them an alternative command system abroad that they can immediately activate end quote although a PLC attack remains unlikely in the near term increased pressure from Beijing and Military intimidation tactics have led many foreign companies and consumers of Taiwanese groups to initiate some contingency planning an unnamed country head of a global consultancy

subscribing it all helps for the channel and for anyone who can go that extra mile and help me keep China update financially sustainable patreon and by coffee links are in the description below this is a lot of work but all your support are all incredible sources of motivation so thank you so much everybody for the ongoing support next up Jamie Diamond Chief Executive Officer of DP Morgan Chase published his letter to shareholders in the 2023 annual report in a stunning development the American billionaire Banker made very Frank comments on China comments which we very rarely see from leading business people the points shouldn't sound too novel to regular viewers but it's notable that such a figure is making them to Washington policy makers and US businesses to end today's video we will quote Diamond's statements on China directly it is a valid point that the Western World both government and businesses essentially underestimated the growing strength and Potential Threat of China it's also true that China has been comprehensively and strategically focused on these economic issues all while we slept but let's not cry over spilled milk let's just fix it we missed the Potential Threat from the three Vantage points the first is company's over Reliance on China as the sole Link in their supply chain which can create vulnerabilities and reduces resiliency but to the extent this involves everyday items like clothes sneakers vaccine compounds and consumer goods this dependency is not as critical or complex and will eventually be sorted out the second is the most critical the US cannot rely on potential adversaries for materials essential to our national security think rare Earths 5G and semiconductors penicillin and materials critical to entral Pharmaceuticals among others we also cannot be sharing vital technologies that can enhance an adversaries military capabilities the United States should properly and narrowly Define these issues and then act unilaterally if necessary to fix them the third is also complex which is countering unfair competition or mercantilist behavior in critical Industries Think electric vehicles renewable energy and AI among others examples of this would be where a state any state uses Government powers Capital subsidies or other means to dominate critical Industries and deeply damag Dage the economic position of other nations weakening a country economically can render it a virtual vessel State reliant on potential adversaries for essential goods and services which also weakens it militarily we cannot seed our important resources and capabilities to potential adversaries here ends the direct quote and today's episode thank you so much everybody for watching have a good Friday and I will see you all tomorrow
