China *JUST* FAILED AGAIN | The Great Reset Depression.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
China today announced new stimulus
measures to prop up their economy but
what is the failing of the Chinese
economy going to potentially mean for
the United States and which company
specifically could be hurt the most and
which are some of them we haven't talked
about before let's think about that in
this video but first xbang did agree to
buying DD's Smart Car division aiming to
really eliminate DD from being an
ex-bing competitor and ax Bing's
actually doing pretty well in China
compared to the rest of the stock market
xping is up 70 percent year today
whereas if you look at what's happening
in the CSI 300 Shenzhen Shanghai index
you can see we're basically on a
beautiful downtrend in China a lot of
this downtrend is really driven by well
a the fizzling of the reopening boom
this right here is the beginning of the
year in January where markets reopen
boomed under this impression that
Chinese individuals would go on to
continue to support their economy and
spend money and as that fizzled so did
the stock market leading now for the
first time since 2008 China to introduce
a specific stock based stimulus now this
I thought was very interesting China for
the first time since 2008 halved the
stamp Duty on stock trades by five basis
points going from 10 basis points it's
almost like a commission the way to
think about it right point one percent
to 0.05 so having that and because this
is always sustainable lowering margin
requirements for trading great yes
that's just what we want is more debt
we're already basically in a highly
indebted world and at some point in the
future we'll have to deal with all of
the debt probably not super near term in
the United States though there are those
who believe the debt bubble is ready to
pop now I don't think the signs are just
there yet but yes that bubbles are a
problem and here's China saying let's
just take on more debt to try to prop up
the stock market which did work briefly
in the stock market in China opened up
about five percent but closed up only
about one percent as those gains it
appears were quickly sold this by the
way is pretty much the same thing that
happened back in 2008 when between April
to September of 2008 they cut their
stamp duties they ended up seeing very
short-term boosts in the stock market
but the downtrend usually continued now
after the stimulus measures we saw we
did see oil pop up a smidgen and that's
a big fear that a lot of people have in
America is that oh my gosh if China does
stimulate uh even if they just start
slowly ramping up stimulus it's going to
end up leading oil to Skyrocket and
that'll lead gas prices to go up and
then we'll see more inflation trickle
out through the entire economy in the
United States but oils basically flat
today after after these stimulus
measures so little impact so far and
that's likely because well generally
when China tries to manipulate their
stock market they end up only
temporarily helping things following
making things worse like the reason
evergrand it's worth realizing fell 90
was not because they fell 90 over the
last trading day it's because evergrant
has actually been banned from trading
for 17 months they just finally unlocked
evergrand so if people are you know
showing you how everything's Doom and
Gloom yeah China's economy is definitely
in the doldrums but evergrant didn't
drop 90 in a day it dropped 90 over the
last 17 months and this makes a lot of
sense so the real question though is how
does all this China uh potential modest
stimulus and overall slowdown actually
affect America I mean China's even
trying to slow walk IPOs now to keep
people focused on buying existing stocks
so that way they could prop up the
existing stocks they have and the
existing stock market feels better
ultimately hopefully leading to the
impression that China is doing better
than that actually is when the reality
is it's just not doing great what does
all of this mean for the US
let's think about that so Global GDP is
usually driven heavily by China in fact
the international monetary fund found
that a one percent boost in Chinese GDP
boosts Global growth by one-third of a
percent that basically means China is
supposed to drive one third of global
economic growth and this is really
important specifically for areas around
China think Taiwan Korea South Korea
Japan and other Asian Nations Thailand
Indonesia you name it and why is this
important well it's because Chinese
frequently travel to these destinations
and sped Bonnie and prop up the rest of
these Asian economies but they have less
of an impact on the United States I'm
going to go into exactly which companies
can be most impacted but right now
Chinese are traveling about one-third as
little as they were traveling back in
two thousand 19. so that means if there
were a hundred Travelers in 2019 now
there are only 33. now obviously that's
up from next to zero during the coveted
lockdowns as recently as well basically
November December of last year but it's
nowhere near what we saw in 2019. part
of this is probably because household
wealth has been devastated over the last
three years as China's real estate
bubble has finally started to burst
that's an example of what an over an
excessive amount of debt can end up
doing especially when Regulators finally
reign in how much debt you're able to
take out at real estate companies in
China just exactly what happened
basically real estate companies were
able to take on 110 120 percent debt to
assets that's basically like if you have
a hundred thousand dollar house they'd
let you borrow like a hundred ten
hundred twenty thousand dollars but this
is for the developing side and when
China's like just kidding we don't want
to do that anymore the Ponzi scheme
stopped and all of a sudden the economy
dramatically slowed down down leading to
actually a shrinkage of the consumer's
willingness to spend in China not only
because of the yin and yang so to speak
of China's like now we're stimulating
now we're not leading to this
shell-shock nature of a consumer going
yeah we're just gonna save a little bit
of cash and wait on this one because we
can't trust our own government some of
those similarities in the United States
but big differences being when China
conducts stimulus it's usually for the
stock market or businesses not for
consumers but what does this all mean
for the United States well consider this
Wells Fargo put together a hard Landing
estimate they estimated that a 12.5
percent shrinkage GDP shrinkage in the
Chinese economy over the next three
years would end up shaving off of the
U.S economy
just 10 basis points in 2024 see a lot
of fear-mongers on YouTube or otherwise
right now are making the argument that a
collapse in China is going to destroy
the United States but it's worth
remembering that never has the United
States gone into a recession because of
an external Force it's always been an
internal force and if the reality is
that we end up having a 12.5 shrinkage
in China over the next three years yes
Global growth will slow pressure on oil
and commodities will slow but U.S growth
may not that could actually be the best
case scenario for America and that you
have deflationary forces while at the
same time you're actually avoiding
hopefully a recession in the United
States or you have a very shallow one at
that as the 10 2 yield curve implies
Wells Fargo went as far as saying that
in 2025 maybe our GDP would be impacted
by about 20 basis points because of a
Slowdown in China what's more important
is probably exactly which companies
could be most affected by this slowdown
in China
and to understand this we've got to
think some thoughts here in terms of
imports and exports so when it comes to
the United States selling junk to China
only 7.5 of our U.S exports actually go
to China a lot of this is like
electrical machinery and Manufacturing
equipment as well as some compute
equipment that goes to China only 7.5
percent it's a small portion
now we certainly import more from China
than we export to them but that actually
helps as if China is facing deflation
which based on their PPI numbers they
are now all of a sudden we actually have
a Tailwind to consumers in our Market
now there are particular companies
though that do rely on China more now
some particular companies we've already
talked about we know 20 25 of Tesla's
revenues come from China that's going to
be problematic same thing about 25 to
maybe uh 28 for companies like Nvidia
and AMD relying on China that's
important but Nvidia and AMD suggest
that they're going to be able to
navigate the sanctions Wars and Tesla is
turning around to try to use China as an
inexpensive export Market basically for
vehicles for the rest of the world but
what's another company that might
actually be at risk that we haven't
talked about yet well it could be
apple apple relies on about 20 percent
of its revenues from China but not just
revenues and Supply chains China
according to Bloomberg in a recent
analysis put together by them has been
at the quote heart of Apple supply chain
making up as much as 80 percent of the
company's manufacturing footprint now
recently over the last year we've seen
probably last couple of years but we've
seen some of that manufacturing Reliance
moved to Vietnam in India and this is a
big shift that a lot of companies might
end up following moving production away
in this Reliance away from China which
ultimately just hurts China more but in
the short term apple is expected to
potentially not only see a revenue hit
from Chinese consumers maybe not buying
the latest iPhone or whatever from Apple
but also an expense increase as Apple
will re-establishes supply chains in
other areas now don't get me wrong
nobody thinks we're going to move away
from China over overnight and China will
probably do whatever they can in their
power to make sure companies stay in
China but it's not just Apple it's also
companies like Nike and Under Armor
luxury goods expected to get hit next
like lvmh or caterpillar thanks to less
development that are all getting hit
thanks to weaker demand from China so
considering exposure to China and your
portfolio was very important and history
suggests that buying the dip at the
first signs of some light stimulus
measures in China don't actually yet
break the downtrend you really have to
go through a real bottoming out process
this is where a lot of folks believe
that uh-oh we might actually end up
getting a real set of pain and a real
punch in the face with China's economy
and maybe that can actually lead the
Federal Reserve in the United States to
conduct some kind of easing in fact that
is sort of the mainstream thesis right
now that any pain that China Anna
creates for the US will just be on the
good note deflationary and worst case if
it actually started hitting us a reason
for the FED to cut along with the
deflationary impulse this is really
interesting that yes there are major
issues in China and with China's economy
but the actual implications of China
affecting the United States might be
much more limited than is generally
believed most of the time the China's
doom and gloom videos do well on YouTube
because people believe it'll lead to the
great reset of the US economy but again
historically that's never happened
before historically we ease away damage
from Chinese pain I mean it's the same
thing it's one of the contributing
factors people say to Jerome Powell's
easing in December of 2018 after the
Trump China trade war and ultimately
it's a deflationary impulse for us which
removes what the FED is most concerned
about
in terms of an actual economic impact
they're going to be some companies that
have an outsized impact like again Apple
Tesla and some of the other
manufacturers in China but ultimately
the pain in China something we're going
to watch very closely but is it heavily
impacting what I expect will happen to
the U.S economy not at all
congratulations man you have done so
much people love you people looked up to
you which I say yes meet Kevin where
does this mean we are in the economic
cycle should we be thinking about buying
real estate should we be thinking about
buying stocks I have a background in
real estate as a real estate agent real
estate broker real estate investor a
stock market investor and fund manager
why not advertise these things that you
told us here we'll try a little
advertising and see how it goes always
great to have you on Kevin path right
