It's Over: China’s ENTIRE Economy Is About To Collapse
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Asia is in pain Sri Lanka is bankrupt
Japan is propping up their currency and
while we in America reel from over
stimulating our economy now suffering
from inflation we haven't seen in 40
years with Fed rate hikes crushing the
market that we haven't seen in 30 years
China has its own devastating problems
some say so bad that China might
collapse to prevent this the Chinese
government is stimulating its economy
plowing billions of dollars into
infrastructure projects hoping to hire
enough people and prop up land values by
spending money on infrastructure well so
far the stock market and housing market
are not very happy about the progress of
the Chinese government this here shows
you that by some measures Equity values
that its stock values have dropped all
the way back to 2012 levels and by other
metrics we have seen that Hong Kong
listed stocks are as cheap as they were
in 2009. these are actual nominal prices
here that have fallen substantially now
if we take a look at actual Price to
Book value ratios we could see that many
of these lows in Price to Book values
are lows that we haven't seen since the
bottom of the 2009 or.com bubble
recessions and the housing market isn't
happy either with housing market indices
also plummeting so you've got a lot of
pain in China and there are a lot of
questions about what could this mean for
America how important is this how bad is
it is this going to get and ultimately
why is this happening well the first
thing that you need to do to understand

next to the link for the programs I'm
building you both so China first a lot
of the issues that China is facing
unfortunately seem self-inflicted
housing makes up one-third of China's
economy and as much as 70 percent of
Chinese citizens individual wealth
housing is extremely critical to China
and the home ownership rate in China is
extremely high as many as 96 percent of
Chinese individuals own their own homes
in rural areas and within cities about
87 percent of Chinese are homeowners
this stands in contrast to America where
the homeownership rate is about 30
percentage points lower at just 65.5
percent in China homeownership isn't
just a source of wealth or economic
might like it is here in America but
it's also a symbol of national pride and
Pride is very very important to the
Chinese they're very smart people but
we've got some problems in the economy
see the Chinese folks are and makeup the
second largest economy in the world and
realistically they'd love to take over
America and probably should they have
three times the population of America
and economy wise America is still twice
the size of China even with a population
that's just a one-third the size so to
China preserving the housing market and
ensuring that individuals wealth remains
high so that China can continue to
develop and grow its GDP at high growth
rates which we've been used to
experiencing for the last 10 to 15 years
in China China needs to make sure that
the housing market remains stable
and so to do this China instituted this
policy called the three red line policy
in August of 2020. this unfortunately
ended up proving either to be a
devastating mistake or ended up proving
that everything was built upon false
hopium and the Chinese housing market
was really just a Ponzi scheme the three
red lines policy had a very simple goal
the goal was to prevent excessive
leverage and housing especially since
many ghost cities were being built under
the mentality of hey if we fund
developers in China well then people
like developers would go build homes and
then other people will build restaurants
and hey if you build it people will come
right the issue first started with the
realization that no people do not
necessarily come to ghost towns China
then ended up having built way too many
homes under the demand and sort of
mandate of the government to just build
more and continue growing at all costs
and they even incentivize developers to
grow as much as possible enabling the
heavy taking on of Leverage that was
done before the three strikes policy
that went into effect in August of 2020.
and so much like the Federal Reserve
made a mistake in acting too late on
inflation China acted too late to slow
the booming housing market China's three
red lines included limiting developers
to no more than 70 percent of assets as
debt no more than one hundred percent of
debt to equity and the requirement that
developers have at least as much cash on
hand as they need in order to satisfy
their debts in the next 12 months
unfortunately this stopped the Chinese
real estate Ponzi cult see a Ponzi
scheme is traditionally when money that
goes into sort of a period of a pyramid
if you will is just use to pay dividends
to Prior investors to make the investors
feel like there's actually a good
business model that's making money well
the reality is the previous investors
are just getting paid out from previous
investors uh or new investors I should
say and in the case of china payments
made by buyers on homes that were not
yet built were used to pay for
construction projects that were older
and still under construction so picture
this you have one Housing Development
that's three months from completion and
buyers are paying for that one already
but the developer starts running out of
money so to fund and the finishing of
development number one they start
another development starts selling
hopium and vision to new buyers and then
take that money and finish project
number one and all of that works fine as
long as the money tap is still nice and
open
but the flow of money stopped thanks to
these new strict lending requirements
the three strikes policy the idea was
hey let's prevent a housing bubble but
China acted too late so what happened
construction stopped not only on the new
projects but the old projects and just
like a classic housing market bubble
fear set into effect and home values
collapsed the real popping of the bubble
though seems to have happened at the
time about one year after the three
strikes policy was implemented when we
saw and first heard of the massive
defaults of one of China's largest
property developers called evergrant it
took roughly one year from the three
strikes of policy or three line policy
three red line policy for these defaults
to occur and those defaults today here
in September of 2022 are continuing
According to some of the latest data
that we have on defaults when we were
just halfway through 22 22 through about
June and July of 2022 default
applications by mostly property
developers exceeded the defaults that we
saw a year ago in 2021 that means in
half of 2022 we had a worse default year
than in all of 2021 despite the fact
that's when evergrand first defaulted
and so literally as recently as
yesterday more developers are continuing
to default and a lot of this is thanks
to the housing market bubble that was
propped up by excessive leverage and an
excessive mandate to grow at all costs
in China
thus we now face the second issue as
property developments freeze and seize
up Chinese home buyers waiting for
properties to be delivered are starting
to boycott their mortgages keep in mind
in China you start paying for properties
even before they're complete via
something known as a pre-sale this is
different in America in America you
generally don't pay for a new
construction home unless either you're
building it or you are buying from a
typical home builder in which case you
wouldn't actually start paying for the
home until you have a certificate of
occupancy and you close that score on
the home unfortunately in China this is
different you start paying for the home
as soon as you tie it up even though the
developer isn't necessarily finished yet
and even though technically some of
these developers should be finished as
in bankrupt not to be confused with
actually finishing their developments in
China it's not that easy to go bankrupt
the bankruptcy process is extremely
murky and cities and other private
developers are now being encouraged to
take partial ownership of defaulting
Developers however many of those with
cash are fearful that they're just
catching a falling knife by getting
involved with defaulting developers Anna
from GitHub via a project literally
called quote we need home
showed that home buyers boycotting
payments are now up to
343 projects as of mid-september 2022
this is up from 318 in July now what's
remarkable about that is that represents
an eight percent increase in the number
of boycotted projects where people just
are not making their payment anymore
because the projects are not being
finished and that is just in two months
an eight percent increase in two months
means we could potentially see a
doubling of boycotted mortgage payments
over the next year because that's
roughly the annualized rate where we are
now keep in mind this is 343 projects
not not homes like each project could
have a thousand homes plus or minus this
is a drastic issue and the boycotts are
now spreading not only are buyers
alleging that properties are not being
delivered anymore now they're amplifying
their complaints leading to even more
people boycotting and not making their
mortgage payments worsening the
situation for developers and potential
investors who want to bail those
developers out
right now they are arguing quote
according to Bloomberg Chinese home
buyers are citing a wider range of
concerns now as justification to boycott
mortgage payments including poor
construction and noise pollution
ratcheting up their demand amid a
spiraling housing crisis
and as a result home confidence and home
buying confidence has collapsed home
values are down 29 year over year in
China and markets are in a deep
recession contending with an exploding
property bubble
all of this is exacerbated by the third
problem covid zero despite Chinese
stimulus trying to prop up the housing
market and land market by starting 52
000 new infrastructure projects if we
start one infrastructure project in
America it seems like a big deal this is
52 000 new infrastructure projects in an
attempt to prop up land values and
increase employment well folks data that
just came out last Friday shows that
property data continues to prove a
decline in investment and construction
and land values despite 52 000 new
infrastructure projects now Hong Kong
just made the decision to scrap
mandatory hotel quarantines finally
ending this coveted zero policy with
airline tickets now already boosting
their prices however Hong Kong is a
semi-autonomous region of China and only
represents one half of one percent of
the Chinese population China's coveted
zero policies are so stringent that a
city near Myanmar has now a acted what
is known as a steel Great Wall it's a
collection of sheet metal Barracks razor
wire and fences to ensure nobody gets
into China without following the covet
zero protocols so if you think covet
zero is over it ain't China is also
faced with a currency risk the more
China stimulates the less valuable their
currency becomes against the dollar now
a weaker Chinese currency might seem
like it would encourage a greater
purchasing of Chinese products but
remember China is trying to become more
self-sufficient just consider the chip
or battery industry for example they're
trying to invest more in China and
therefore they need to import more
products like electrical Machinery from
the United States and other goods and
services like Consulting exports exports
that is and while they will likely
continue to export more than they import
they don't want a very weak Chinese
currency they want one right around or
Yuan that's somewhere around 6.92 not
weaker than that not stronger than that
that's the perfect balance for them
however the more they stimulate the more
that Yuan goes to seven bucks goes to
705 goes to 710 and the more the
stimulus could actually end up hurting
their long-term visions and so this is
where unlike in America where if we just
want to stimulate a lot and whatever
happens to the dollar happens China is a
little bit stuck between a rock and a
hard place on top of that next month you
have a Communist Party Congress where Xi
Jinping might receive a renewed
five-year term some are saying that
potentially during this a meeting or
congress we might actually see an
announcement that covet policies are
being relaxed and maybe we'll actually
see some more stimulus though many say
this is just hopium that covet zero is
probably here to stay for a while China
is not going to be able to stimulate as
much as they need to and their stimulus
is really going to fall on deaf ears
because the housing market is collapsing
and anybody who thinks that A Renewed
five-year term for or Zee Jinping is
likely to bring any kind of quick change
is probably not realizing that China
while it is unlikely to collapse is
likely going to go through a very
lasting and deep recession if not a
great Chinese depression now when it
comes to America some say you know what
that could be a blessing because the
less demand China has for Global goods
and services Allah oil for example the
lower prices go and the lower prices go
of goods and services around the global
economy including oil the more deflation
or disinflation we experience so if
China goes through a Great Depression
ironically it could actually be exactly
what America needs an anchor in the
global economy to slow down and bring
down the demand for goods and services
which where there's an overlap will
drive prices down and hopefully bring
disinflation and deflation to the United
States
not that in the United States we want to
cheer at the failures of China and China
in my opinion is unlikely to collapse
China will be going through a very
difficult period and my heart goes out
to the individual Chinese especially the
Chinese investors who were suffering at
a time like this because I think the
Chinese are incredibly smart people they
just had a government that wanted to
expand too quickly but China will be
back
