Today was my first full day in China, and my overall impression is very mixed.
On one hand, the infrastructure, innovation, energy, and long-term economic potential of China remain extremely impressive. The scale of development is still massive, and you can clearly feel that China continues to have strong strategic ambitions for the future.
However, the economic slowdown is still visible on the ground. Consumer confidence does not appear fully recovered, property-related weakness still lingers, and many businesses continue to feel cautious about spending and expansion.
What is becoming increasingly interesting — and potentially dangerous — is that inflation now appears to be slowly returning. But this does not look like healthy demand-driven inflation caused by strong economic growth and rising consumption.
Instead, this feels more like cost-push inflation:
• Higher operating costs
• Supply chain pressures
• Rising food and living expenses
• Margin compression for businesses
China has spent years battling deflationary pressure, so some inflation was probably welcomed initially. But if inflation rises while economic demand remains weak, this creates a much more complicated environment for policymakers, businesses, consumers, and investors.
In this video, I share my honest first-day observations from China, what I am seeing on the ground, and why the next phase of China’s economy may become increasingly important not just for Asia — but for the entire global economy.
