economic data out of China is extremely bad, in multiple sectors, including retail, consumer, real estate, this morning.

analyst s are increasingly attributing China's economic failures to xi jinplnng disastrous covid zero policy, which causes authorities to shut dowanentire city or apartment block if there is even one case of covid detected. the result of this policy is that China has been playing whack-a-mole with covid as it shuts down one place,, and so forth.

there's an amusing story coming out of a in Ikea store in Shanghai. the store was crowded, and apparently a rumor started spreading that a covid case was detected. according to the report, the people in the store started screaming and running for the doors, in order to get out before the storms locked down.


central banks around the world are raising interest rates to fight inflation, but this morning People's Bank of China pboc surprise everyone by cutting interest rates by a small amount. this is obviously not enough China's economic problems, and more must be done, especially with the covid zero policy. however xi ping has met his reputation on covid 0 policy, and it's failure could mean the end of his dictatorship, unless he deflects the problem by invading taiwan.

this analysis is based on discussions on CNBC and Bloomberg tv.
It’s all going to end badly. Just look at the protests in China because civilians are not allowed to withdraw their own money from bank accounts. It’s all coming down like a house of cards. Unlike the Viking KIng, XI really does believe he can hold back the waves. Maybe we should rearrange the letters in that old Norse name.

The U.S is not heading to war by itself with Russia.
NATO is now a formidable foe to Russia. Besides, Russia is increasingly becoming a spent military conventional force. A nuclear war is a no win for Russia.
China will not risk their economic links with the U.S. over Taiwan. China has been winning the economic trade with the U.S. Why negate that?

Agreed. Besides, the domestic building and banking are driving their economic problems. Foreign trade is an area where they aren't spending labor for something they don't need. On the other hand, the CCP or at least Xi is in big trouble. He may be desperate enough to do something irrational.

Statements like this, on this forum, makes no sense. You all keep applying logic to actions. As we have learned from John, their actions will not be logical... have you learned anything from this site?

Zero COVID is extremely illogical. Political consideration trumped economic.
As John has correctly noted, the CCP is a lunatic organization. And they're increasing pressed on many sides. A stress release will cause what they hope to be a contained eruption somewhere. Have they not shown clearly enough the use of military methods to solve political difficulties? It's certainly not bluster the pronouncements of the CCP. In the past, they couldn't but now they can and will.

Actually, FullMoon, they just think they can, so they will...and then find out they can't (not that they won't cause the biggest disaster since the Black Death in the process).

Of course Tom. They think they can, and so eventually something with will happen that causes the conflict. We assume victory is unlikely for them and yes, nobody will win as we ALL will lose. Living standards and life expectancy will fall dramatically.
