FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

Asia is in pain Sri Lanka is bankrupt

0:03

Japan is propping up their currency and

0:04

while we in America reel from over

0:06

stimulating our economy now suffering

0:08

from inflation we haven't seen in 40

0:10

years with Fed rate hikes crushing the

0:12

market that we haven't seen in 30 years

0:13

China has its own devastating problems

0:16

some say so bad that China might

0:19

collapse to prevent this the Chinese

0:21

government is stimulating its economy

0:23

plowing billions of dollars into

0:26

infrastructure projects hoping to hire

0:28

enough people and prop up land values by

0:30

spending money on infrastructure well so

0:32

far the stock market and housing market

0:35

are not very happy about the progress of

0:38

the Chinese government this here shows

0:40

you that by some measures Equity values

0:43

that its stock values have dropped all

0:44

the way back to 2012 levels and by other

0:47

metrics we have seen that Hong Kong

0:49

listed stocks are as cheap as they were

0:51

in 2009. these are actual nominal prices

0:55

here that have fallen substantially now

0:58

if we take a look at actual Price to

1:01

Book value ratios we could see that many

1:04

of these lows in Price to Book values

1:07

are lows that we haven't seen since the

1:09

bottom of the 2009 or.com bubble

1:13

recessions and the housing market isn't

1:16

happy either with housing market indices

1:19

also plummeting so you've got a lot of

1:22

pain in China and there are a lot of

1:24

questions about what could this mean for

1:27

America how important is this how bad is

1:30

it is this going to get and ultimately

1:32

why is this happening well the first

1:34

thing that you need to do to understand

1:35

all of this is mark your calendars for

2:11

different details of course at

2:13

househack.com check out that link below

2:16

next to the link for the programs I'm

2:17

building you both so China first a lot

2:20

of the issues that China is facing

2:22

unfortunately seem self-inflicted

2:24

housing makes up one-third of China's

2:26

economy and as much as 70 percent of

2:29

Chinese citizens individual wealth

2:32

housing is extremely critical to China

2:34

and the home ownership rate in China is

2:36

extremely high as many as 96 percent of

2:38

Chinese individuals own their own homes

2:40

in rural areas and within cities about

2:43

87 percent of Chinese are homeowners

2:46

this stands in contrast to America where

2:49

the homeownership rate is about 30

2:51

percentage points lower at just 65.5

2:54

percent in China homeownership isn't

2:57

just a source of wealth or economic

2:59

might like it is here in America but

3:02

it's also a symbol of national pride and

3:05

Pride is very very important to the

3:06

Chinese they're very smart people but

3:09

we've got some problems in the economy

3:11

see the Chinese folks are and makeup the

3:14

second largest economy in the world and

3:17

realistically they'd love to take over

3:19

America and probably should they have

3:21

three times the population of America

3:24

and economy wise America is still twice

3:28

the size of China even with a population

3:30

that's just a one-third the size so to

3:33

China preserving the housing market and

3:35

ensuring that individuals wealth remains

3:38

high so that China can continue to

3:40

develop and grow its GDP at high growth

3:42

rates which we've been used to

3:43

experiencing for the last 10 to 15 years

3:46

in China China needs to make sure that

3:48

the housing market remains stable

3:51

and so to do this China instituted this

3:54

policy called the three red line policy

3:57

in August of 2020. this unfortunately

4:00

ended up proving either to be a

4:02

devastating mistake or ended up proving

4:04

that everything was built upon false

4:07

hopium and the Chinese housing market

4:09

was really just a Ponzi scheme the three

4:13

red lines policy had a very simple goal

4:16

the goal was to prevent excessive

4:18

leverage and housing especially since

4:21

many ghost cities were being built under

4:23

the mentality of hey if we fund

4:25

developers in China well then people

4:28

like developers would go build homes and

4:30

then other people will build restaurants

4:32

and hey if you build it people will come

4:34

right the issue first started with the

4:38

realization that no people do not

4:40

necessarily come to ghost towns China

4:42

then ended up having built way too many

4:45

homes under the demand and sort of

4:48

mandate of the government to just build

4:50

more and continue growing at all costs

4:52

and they even incentivize developers to

4:55

grow as much as possible enabling the

4:58

heavy taking on of Leverage that was

4:59

done before the three strikes policy

5:01

that went into effect in August of 2020.

5:03

and so much like the Federal Reserve

5:05

made a mistake in acting too late on

5:07

inflation China acted too late to slow

5:09

the booming housing market China's three

5:11

red lines included limiting developers

5:13

to no more than 70 percent of assets as

5:16

debt no more than one hundred percent of

5:18

debt to equity and the requirement that

5:20

developers have at least as much cash on

5:22

hand as they need in order to satisfy

5:25

their debts in the next 12 months

5:26

unfortunately this stopped the Chinese

5:29

real estate Ponzi cult see a Ponzi

5:32

scheme is traditionally when money that

5:33

goes into sort of a period of a pyramid

5:36

if you will is just use to pay dividends

5:39

to Prior investors to make the investors

5:41

feel like there's actually a good

5:43

business model that's making money well

5:45

the reality is the previous investors

5:46

are just getting paid out from previous

5:48

investors uh or new investors I should

5:51

say and in the case of china payments

5:53

made by buyers on homes that were not

5:56

yet built were used to pay for

5:59

construction projects that were older

6:01

and still under construction so picture

6:03

this you have one Housing Development

6:05

that's three months from completion and

6:07

buyers are paying for that one already

6:09

but the developer starts running out of

6:11

money so to fund and the finishing of

6:14

development number one they start

6:16

another development starts selling

6:19

hopium and vision to new buyers and then

6:21

take that money and finish project

6:23

number one and all of that works fine as

6:26

long as the money tap is still nice and

6:29

open

6:30

but the flow of money stopped thanks to

6:32

these new strict lending requirements

6:33

the three strikes policy the idea was

6:36

hey let's prevent a housing bubble but

6:38

China acted too late so what happened

6:40

construction stopped not only on the new

6:43

projects but the old projects and just

6:45

like a classic housing market bubble

6:48

fear set into effect and home values

6:52

collapsed the real popping of the bubble

6:55

though seems to have happened at the

6:58

time about one year after the three

7:02

strikes policy was implemented when we

7:05

saw and first heard of the massive

7:07

defaults of one of China's largest

7:10

property developers called evergrant it

7:13

took roughly one year from the three

7:15

strikes of policy or three line policy

7:17

three red line policy for these defaults

7:19

to occur and those defaults today here

7:22

in September of 2022 are continuing

7:24

According to some of the latest data

7:26

that we have on defaults when we were

7:28

just halfway through 22 22 through about

7:31

June and July of 2022 default

7:35

applications by mostly property

7:36

developers exceeded the defaults that we

7:39

saw a year ago in 2021 that means in

7:43

half of 2022 we had a worse default year

7:45

than in all of 2021 despite the fact

7:48

that's when evergrand first defaulted

7:51

and so literally as recently as

7:52

yesterday more developers are continuing

7:55

to default and a lot of this is thanks

7:58

to the housing market bubble that was

8:00

propped up by excessive leverage and an

8:03

excessive mandate to grow at all costs

8:06

in China

8:07

thus we now face the second issue as

8:09

property developments freeze and seize

8:11

up Chinese home buyers waiting for

8:13

properties to be delivered are starting

8:15

to boycott their mortgages keep in mind

8:18

in China you start paying for properties

8:19

even before they're complete via

8:21

something known as a pre-sale this is

8:23

different in America in America you

8:25

generally don't pay for a new

8:26

construction home unless either you're

8:27

building it or you are buying from a

8:30

typical home builder in which case you

8:33

wouldn't actually start paying for the

8:34

home until you have a certificate of

8:36

occupancy and you close that score on

8:38

the home unfortunately in China this is

8:41

different you start paying for the home

8:42

as soon as you tie it up even though the

8:45

developer isn't necessarily finished yet

8:47

and even though technically some of

8:49

these developers should be finished as

8:52

in bankrupt not to be confused with

8:54

actually finishing their developments in

8:57

China it's not that easy to go bankrupt

8:58

the bankruptcy process is extremely

9:00

murky and cities and other private

9:02

developers are now being encouraged to

9:04

take partial ownership of defaulting

9:06

Developers however many of those with

9:09

cash are fearful that they're just

9:11

catching a falling knife by getting

9:12

involved with defaulting developers Anna

9:15

from GitHub via a project literally

9:17

called quote we need home

9:19

showed that home buyers boycotting

9:22

payments are now up to

9:25

343 projects as of mid-september 2022

9:29

this is up from 318 in July now what's

9:35

remarkable about that is that represents

9:37

an eight percent increase in the number

9:40

of boycotted projects where people just

9:44

are not making their payment anymore

9:45

because the projects are not being

9:48

finished and that is just in two months

9:51

an eight percent increase in two months

9:54

means we could potentially see a

9:56

doubling of boycotted mortgage payments

9:58

over the next year because that's

10:00

roughly the annualized rate where we are

10:02

now keep in mind this is 343 projects

10:05

not not homes like each project could

10:08

have a thousand homes plus or minus this

10:10

is a drastic issue and the boycotts are

10:13

now spreading not only are buyers

10:15

alleging that properties are not being

10:17

delivered anymore now they're amplifying

10:19

their complaints leading to even more

10:21

people boycotting and not making their

10:23

mortgage payments worsening the

10:26

situation for developers and potential

10:28

investors who want to bail those

10:29

developers out

10:31

right now they are arguing quote

10:34

according to Bloomberg Chinese home

10:36

buyers are citing a wider range of

10:38

concerns now as justification to boycott

10:40

mortgage payments including poor

10:42

construction and noise pollution

10:45

ratcheting up their demand amid a

10:47

spiraling housing crisis

10:49

and as a result home confidence and home

10:52

buying confidence has collapsed home

10:54

values are down 29 year over year in

10:56

China and markets are in a deep

10:58

recession contending with an exploding

11:01

property bubble

11:03

all of this is exacerbated by the third

11:06

problem covid zero despite Chinese

11:10

stimulus trying to prop up the housing

11:13

market and land market by starting 52

11:16

000 new infrastructure projects if we

11:18

start one infrastructure project in

11:19

America it seems like a big deal this is

11:21

52 000 new infrastructure projects in an

11:24

attempt to prop up land values and

11:26

increase employment well folks data that

11:29

just came out last Friday shows that

11:31

property data continues to prove a

11:34

decline in investment and construction

11:35

and land values despite 52 000 new

11:40

infrastructure projects now Hong Kong

11:43

just made the decision to scrap

11:44

mandatory hotel quarantines finally

11:47

ending this coveted zero policy with

11:50

airline tickets now already boosting

11:52

their prices however Hong Kong is a

11:54

semi-autonomous region of China and only

11:56

represents one half of one percent of

11:58

the Chinese population China's coveted

11:59

zero policies are so stringent that a

12:02

city near Myanmar has now a acted what

12:04

is known as a steel Great Wall it's a

12:07

collection of sheet metal Barracks razor

12:11

wire and fences to ensure nobody gets

12:13

into China without following the covet

12:15

zero protocols so if you think covet

12:17

zero is over it ain't China is also

12:20

faced with a currency risk the more

12:21

China stimulates the less valuable their

12:23

currency becomes against the dollar now

12:25

a weaker Chinese currency might seem

12:27

like it would encourage a greater

12:28

purchasing of Chinese products but

12:30

remember China is trying to become more

12:32

self-sufficient just consider the chip

12:34

or battery industry for example they're

12:36

trying to invest more in China and

12:38

therefore they need to import more

12:39

products like electrical Machinery from

12:41

the United States and other goods and

12:43

services like Consulting exports exports

12:46

that is and while they will likely

12:49

continue to export more than they import

12:51

they don't want a very weak Chinese

12:54

currency they want one right around or

12:57

Yuan that's somewhere around 6.92 not

13:00

weaker than that not stronger than that

13:02

that's the perfect balance for them

13:04

however the more they stimulate the more

13:07

that Yuan goes to seven bucks goes to

13:09

705 goes to 710 and the more the

13:12

stimulus could actually end up hurting

13:14

their long-term visions and so this is

13:16

where unlike in America where if we just

13:18

want to stimulate a lot and whatever

13:20

happens to the dollar happens China is a

13:23

little bit stuck between a rock and a

13:24

hard place on top of that next month you

13:27

have a Communist Party Congress where Xi

13:30

Jinping might receive a renewed

13:32

five-year term some are saying that

13:34

potentially during this a meeting or

13:37

congress we might actually see an

13:40

announcement that covet policies are

13:42

being relaxed and maybe we'll actually

13:44

see some more stimulus though many say

13:47

this is just hopium that covet zero is

13:50

probably here to stay for a while China

13:52

is not going to be able to stimulate as

13:54

much as they need to and their stimulus

13:55

is really going to fall on deaf ears

13:58

because the housing market is collapsing

14:00

and anybody who thinks that A Renewed

14:03

five-year term for or Zee Jinping is

14:05

likely to bring any kind of quick change

14:07

is probably not realizing that China

14:10

while it is unlikely to collapse is

14:13

likely going to go through a very

14:15

lasting and deep recession if not a

14:18

great Chinese depression now when it

14:20

comes to America some say you know what

14:23

that could be a blessing because the

14:25

less demand China has for Global goods

14:27

and services Allah oil for example the

14:30

lower prices go and the lower prices go

14:33

of goods and services around the global

14:36

economy including oil the more deflation

14:39

or disinflation we experience so if

14:42

China goes through a Great Depression

14:44

ironically it could actually be exactly

14:47

what America needs an anchor in the

14:50

global economy to slow down and bring

14:53

down the demand for goods and services

14:55

which where there's an overlap will

14:58

drive prices down and hopefully bring

15:00

disinflation and deflation to the United

15:03

States

15:04

not that in the United States we want to

15:06

cheer at the failures of China and China

15:08

in my opinion is unlikely to collapse

15:11

China will be going through a very

15:13

difficult period and my heart goes out

15:15

to the individual Chinese especially the

15:18

Chinese investors who were suffering at

15:20

a time like this because I think the

15:21

Chinese are incredibly smart people they

15:24

just had a government that wanted to

15:26

expand too quickly but China will be

15:29

back
