Ok, let me explain it to you in another way. Imagine you have 1000 old people working for you and they all already do overtime, if you tell them they will get a higher salary if they work harder do you think it's going to happen. Here is the secret no matter what you pay your workforce, they only have a set amount of work they can deliver per person. So by adding stimulus, the only thing you are increasing is the labour cost. This entire situation was predictable by just looking at their population demographics. One explanation I once heard for a "dark age" is the return on investment decreases as time goes on for that particular era. In other words, it becomes more and more expensive to invest in any form of manufacturing and construction because your labour cost outpasses productivity.
In China, they have zillion of a magical creatures called robots. A robot can't sew well, but they can do lots of things like carrying stuffs from A to B, preparing stuffs for human processing, and they are super cheap because China is cheap
China has been shafting their working class for the past 4 decades. That's why there's so little consumption relative to per capita GDP. For a self proclaimed socialist country, China is home to the largest population of non-unionized workers. Genuine labor unions do not exist in China; they merely rubber stamp the interests of the state and the corporatocracy. China has no effective social security, so people are forced to save inordinate proportions of their income for their own retirement. And without typical market investment vehicles available to regular citizens, the money is parked inside bank accounts or real estate. Both approaches has a deflationary effect.
China is the "capitalist paradise". Ultra-wealthy Americans can only dream of having the same access to deprived workers compared to their Chinese counterparts.
At the top of the list of shafting components, you should put the hukou system. Unions may and may not work for the greater good in the long term, ie. Social Democratic participatory models versus the US extractive models that decimated much of US cyclical industries and regional public finances.

I have no idea what you people are talking about, when the stimulus was originally announced, everyone in the know of China economics said something along the lines of: "Um, excuse me, did you forget a zero or two?". Depending on who you asked, China needed 10x to 100x more money to pull itself out of the hole it dug itself into.

Most economic stimulus doesn't come 100% on day one. You release it in batches over a period of time. People were hoping that that's what this one. The 1st round of a new trend. But with the CCP throwing cold water on that idea, they now realize that is not the case.
Chinese property sector, which accounts for 30% of GDP, is crashing. - Exports and imports, accounting for 37% GDP, are down. - Foreign investment (FDI) is falling over 90%, lowest in 3 decades. - Foreign visitors are down 96% compared to the pre-pandemic level in 2019. - Consumer prices are experiencing deflation. - Youth unemployment hits over 21%, a record. - Its fast-shrinking workforce is 10 years older than neighboring countries. *Still, China keeps reporting outrageous GDP numbers.* Lol Where does the growth come from?

It shows the danger of dictatorships as they lack a self-correcting mechanism. They seem stable from the outside but that means harmful long term trends remain unaddressed
@@augustus331 If you really study the history of the major powers, you will find that the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, all because of the overdevelopment of the financial industry and the squeezing of the manufacturing industry, which ultimately led to the serious polarization of the rich and the poor, the transfer of endogenous power, and the eventual decline of hegemony. The United States is undergoing this process. You see the prosperity and hegemony of the U.S. financial sector, indeed, but from the course of history, this is precisely the root cause of the disease of the decline of the U.S. The current financial hegemony will not last forever, especially with the already enormous debt. The fact that not a single country has declared bankruptcy or financial crisis in the current rate hike cycle of the dollar is one sidebar, the homelessness, gun violence, and partisan bickering to the point of shooting a president within the US in the same time period is another. The core of the US is the dollar credit, let's see if the US can maintain the credit of the dollar in the long run through the military-industrial complex, as far as the immediate future is concerned, the challenges are mounting. China has its own problems, the demographic problem is the biggest one, economically, in fact, China is practicing a social competition that is more capitalistic than the U.S. What you are talking about is China's dictatorship and lack of flexibility, China is a collective decision making under collectivism, with the advantage of long term planning and execution, and the disadvantage of being a ship that is too big for the sea, and is prone to major blunders. But for now I am more optimistic about China. The first reason is that China is superior in the field of civil industry, and the decision-makers are clear-headed, prioritizing the development of manufacturing, financial services for the real service. Secondly, there is a large trade surplus, and then China's central government debt ratio is very low, there is enough room to take on local debt. But all this will take time.
...and missing it the stimilus is not giving money to consumers like in US, it's actually a few rebates for select goods like household appliances and cars (which Chinese are not buying, fearful of investing in their very uncertain future), and shops are reportedly raising prices to capitalize on the stimulus themselves instead, along with manufacturers and officials who select eligable brands

I agree that TLDR needs to tell us a bit what renminbi and yuan is. This is NOT a China-centric RUclips channel. Yes, it is a world channel but they need to assume people only know the dollar and euro. Also, China is so unique that it uses two terms. Most countries don't do that. Anybody who watches this video who has no idea about Chinese currency nomenclature cannot rely on the common sense knowledge of foreign currencies, where there is only ONE NAME. Edit: it seems that the UK does the same thing. I am not a westerner so I don't know that. But I will excuse this channel if it does not define it because it is a channel with western slant.
There's still margin for more stimulus and printing money. But the Taiwan, Japan, Korean scenarios are looming. Whether it ends in an Argentinian's scenario is still far away.
I was in Hong Kong on the day the index fell 9.5%! My parents were just explaining to me how the markets had been roaring up until then, and we ironically got to be there to see the evidence to the contrary in real time.
Is now that China is going to colapse?? I hear this for more than 10 years already. Give them more sanctions and say that they are not making imports or exports. This is insane and tiring.
If there weren't people squatting on 10 homes then the property market wouldn't be so ballooned. Bailouts are always more politically viable than real corrections.
Another terrible take on China. The stimulus package is not out yet. China has to wait for the NPC standing committee meeting for any change to the budget, and it convenes in late October.
So, was lowering the amount banks must keep in reserve during a housing crisis really a good idea? Thats like placing a large barrel of petrol next to an uncontrolled wildfire.
I'd say it's like encouraging people to use up water out of the barrel meant for quenching wildfires when already on fire, and the barrel already half-empty

Aprox, they take 35 million people each year from rural areas to the city. They invest in infraestructure, and have a positive GDP for over 70 years now . Small debt with loads of reserves in cash and gold. They dont have homeless, crime or an inmigrantion problem. And now, like magic , they are number 1 in electric vechicles, soon chips, and so on.
I am surprised by the lack of professionalism from TLDR News. Given the ongoing trade tensions between China and the United States, it is important to note that the U.S. is concerned about China potentially gaining an economic advantage through lower Federal Reserve interest rates. The U.S. has been cautious about reducing interest rates to limit China's economic growth. As a result, if the U.S. refrains from lowering rates further, China may delay announcing new stimulus packages.
If China increases its domestic consum with higher wages, China will get the same situation like Japan at the end of Japans rise after 1990. Up to 1990 it was proposed, that Japan will become a world monopol player in industries. The same what currently is expected for China. But if China increase wages, then production in the West becomes more possible than currently given. Therewith China would become a "ripe" industry nation like western states have been since 20 years. Ripe people go into the retirement house like Europeans etc. do. No longer agil youngster in economics.
@@jwhite5008 China is far away from becoming something like Argentina. China is still advancing in its industrial take over of the world. Currently the West loses its cars and wind turbines industries to China. Most other industries like solar, textile, toys etc. etc. are completely taken from China and partly India. So if China shows some weakness in retaining 10 % growth per year, it is nothing compered to the dcline of european nations. Also the fertility crisis in China is not so dramatic. If population shrinks from 1500 Million to 1200 Million it is still 10 times of Japan and 3 times of Europe. The real crash of the worlds happens currently in Europe and not in China. China is still much stroger than India. And India surpasses Germany in industrial strength currently. And this is only the beginning.
Please take a look at labour rates in China. 30 years ago Chinese worker used to get paid CNY1000, 20 Years ago they used to get paid 2000 Yuan, 10 Years ago they used to get paid 3000 Yuan, Now they are being paid 7000 Yuan a month. Which is close to $1000 per month.

Chinese pops probably know, that such "generosity" is temporary. The only way for the country to move forward is to focus on domestic market. You cant export away your economic problems.
That’s actually extremely sad and worrying. People losing their savings is bad enough on its own. A wealthy dictatorship going through an economic crisis is particularly bad, because they have a tendency to seek out international crisis in order to distract from domestic problems. Like Taiwan… for example…
It’s a bit short sighted after 2 weeks , to comment on whether Chinese stimulus would fail. It’s an investment guarantee which shores up local savings , let’s look at stocks such as Ali baba. 50% gains . It’s working . Look at other issues such as Russian imports on Chinese vehicles since June quarter 24 up by 250 % with 3 Chinese car plants opening in Russia this month by Chinese private sector investment companies. The western proxy currency tied to China - The AUD $ increased up by 3 % from .66 to .69 in a month on the back of Chinese quantitative easing measures . Xi Xi Ping knows he needs to continue public policy on improving the Chinese international investment again. Just a bit too early to call when all signs are pointing north on this one??
I wouldn't say the problems would go away, but it could deescalate some of the pressure. Or at least it could do that if they've done it in time, not it's too late.
A large stimulus will not compensate years or decades of underpaying workers.
It's not like the chinese government could have magically made more money to pay the workers more. It was a developing country for most of the time

that's why we always see "china is on the brink of economic collapse!" videos and newspaper pieces for decades now, and it never happens.
Videos on Chinese social media paint a dim view of life in china, and data and figures do not lie. They count for everything. It lends itself to quality of life, and that infrastructure you proclaim has a horrible reputation for quality and safety in PRC.
CCP officials, knowing the *real* stimulus announcements to come, might have had a huge opportunity to play "pump and dump" here.

Deflation in the context of the bull market are government policy-led, China, the United States and Europe is not different, otherwise 07-08 financial crisis, the United States printed the several trillion dollars is doing? The new crown epidemic, the dollar's unlimited qe is doing what?
@@nechoji The US is leveraging its current position as global financial hegemonic entity. The Dutch did this when we were a global power once, the British did this to pay for the cost of WW2 and decolonisation leaving a bit of a budget-shortfall.
So the moment a new potential superpower emerges, I think America will be in big trouble. I think they would have already been in trouble if China had not self-sabotaged as much as they have.
It shows the danger of dictatorships as they lack a self-correcting mechanism. They seem stable from the outside but that means harmful long term trends remain unaddressed
@@augustus331 If you really study the history of the major powers, you will find that the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, all because of the overdevelopment of the financial industry and the squeezing of the manufacturing industry, which ultimately led to the serious polarization of the rich and the poor, the transfer of endogenous power, and the eventual decline of hegemony.
The United States is undergoing this process. You see the prosperity and hegemony of the U.S. financial sector, indeed, but from the course of history, this is precisely the root cause of the disease of the decline of the U.S. The current financial hegemony will not last forever, especially with the already enormous debt.
The fact that not a single country has declared bankruptcy or financial crisis in the current rate hike cycle of the dollar is one sidebar, the homelessness, gun violence, and partisan bickering to the point of shooting a president within the US in the same time period is another.
The core of the US is the dollar credit, let's see if the US can maintain the credit of the dollar in the long run through the military-industrial complex, as far as the immediate future is concerned, the challenges are mounting.
China has its own problems, the demographic problem is the biggest one, economically, in fact, China is practicing a social competition that is more capitalistic than the U.S. What you are talking about is China's dictatorship and lack of flexibility, China is a collective decision making under collectivism, with the advantage of long term planning and execution, and the disadvantage of being a ship that is too big for the sea, and is prone to major blunders.
But for now I am more optimistic about China.
The first reason is that China is superior in the field of civil industry, and the decision-makers are clear-headed, prioritizing the development of manufacturing, financial services for the real service. Secondly, there is a large trade surplus, and then China's central government debt ratio is very low, there is enough room to take on local debt.
But all this will take time.
Recent China's 🇨🇳 stimulus measure trying to fix its sagging economy
is like throwing a cup of water on the forest fire. LOL
...and missing it
the stimilus is not giving money to consumers like in US, it's actually a few rebates for select goods like household appliances and cars (which Chinese are not buying, fearful of investing in their very uncertain future), and shops are reportedly raising prices to capitalize on the stimulus themselves instead, along with manufacturers and officials who select eligable brands
@@jwhite5008Xi's avoiding direct stimulus because he believes it'll cause inflation instead.

The fact that you use Renminbi and Yuan interchangeably and separately without explaining the two names, is really confusing.
they do refer to the same thing here. Renminbi is the currency and yuan is the unit of currency. similar how in the UK you would have 1 pound sterling
@@badvideosto yes - I know that now (had to Wikipedia it), which is why they either have footnot it or stuck with one name
@@guss77You said Wikipedia without explaining it to me what that was. You said the word footnot without defining it. It’s really confusing
@@guss77you don't need to be told that the currency of the USA is the dollar. Likewise you shouldn't need to be told the currency of China is the Yuan / Renminbi. It's the largest country on earth, you should know the name of its currency.
I agree that TLDR needs to tell us a bit what renminbi and yuan is. This is NOT a China-centric RUclips channel. Yes, it is a world channel but they need to assume people only know the dollar and euro.
Also, China is so unique that it uses two terms. Most countries don't do that. Anybody who watches this video who has no idea about Chinese currency nomenclature cannot rely on the common sense knowledge of foreign currencies, where there is only ONE NAME.
Edit: it seems that the UK does the same thing. I am not a westerner so I don't know that. But I will excuse this channel if it does not define it because it is a channel with western slant.
The entire point of stimuls is you spend more to get confidentce
"It's not funny"😭🤣
There's still margin for more stimulus and printing money. But the Taiwan, Japan, Korean scenarios are looming. Whether it ends in an Argentinian's scenario is still far away.
We had already predicted on your previous videos that the stimulus package was not big enough. Bravo! All your videos are excellent 🎉!
Guys, please increase the brightness of the light bulbs in your studio. It looks like you're recording during a power outage or something.

Really dark studio, looks weird.
I was in Hong Kong on the day the index fell 9.5%! My parents were just explaining to me how the markets had been roaring up until then, and we ironically got to be there to see the evidence to the contrary in real time.
What stimulus? It is more about saying something but not doing anything.

“They just don’t learn do they?”
Tldr budgetnis so bad they cant afford to turn the lights on in their studios
WOW no sponsor, the gods are merciful
Is now that China is going to colapse?? I hear this for more than 10 years already. Give them more sanctions and say that they are not making imports or exports. This is insane and tiring.
You didn't hear this 10 years ago. Why are you lying? They were expecting the Chinese economy to surpass the US economy a decade ago.
I don't know if it's just me, but are you guys trying to save money on energy saving bulbs? Footage of you folks at the desk is really dark
I second this. Looks like their camera failed or something like that

Stimulus that doesn't account for the percentage of already existing non-performing loans is simply going to exacerbate the problem.

Another terrible take on China. The stimulus package is not out yet. China has to wait for the NPC standing committee meeting for any change to the budget, and it convenes in late October.
happens when half the money you print has triplicated serial numbers lmao, they f-ed them selves.
These people really gunna mess up now after all this sucess. Hard headed folks.
So, was lowering the amount banks must keep in reserve during a housing crisis really a good idea? Thats like placing a large barrel of petrol next to an uncontrolled wildfire.
I'd say it's like encouraging people to use up water out of the barrel meant for quenching wildfires when already on fire, and the barrel already half-empty

Can we give it some time before passing judgments please?
I am surprised by the lack of professionalism from TLDR News. Given the ongoing trade tensions between China and the United States, it is important to note that the U.S. is concerned about China potentially gaining an economic advantage through lower Federal Reserve interest rates. The U.S. has been cautious about reducing interest rates to limit China's economic growth. As a result, if the U.S. refrains from lowering rates further, China may delay announcing new stimulus packages.
‘08 market crash coming soon, you heard it here first

bad edit for imprint ad at the end?
If China increases its domestic consum with higher wages, China will get the same situation like Japan at the end of Japans rise after 1990. Up to 1990 it was proposed, that Japan will become a world monopol player in industries. The same what currently is expected for China. But if China increase wages, then production in the West becomes more possible than currently given. Therewith China would become a "ripe" industry nation like western states have been since 20 years. Ripe people go into the retirement house like Europeans etc. do. No longer agil youngster in economics.
And if it doesn't it becomes something like Argentina
@@jwhite5008 China is far away from becoming something like Argentina. China is still advancing in its industrial take over of the world. Currently the West loses its cars and wind turbines industries to China. Most other industries like solar, textile, toys etc. etc. are completely taken from China and partly India. So if China shows some weakness in retaining 10 % growth per year, it is nothing compered to the dcline of european nations. Also the fertility crisis in China is not so dramatic. If population shrinks from 1500 Million to 1200 Million it is still 10 times of Japan and 3 times of Europe. The real crash of the worlds happens currently in Europe and not in China. China is still much stroger than India. And India surpasses Germany in industrial strength currently. And this is only the beginning.
Please take a look at labour rates in China. 30 years ago Chinese worker used to get paid CNY1000, 20 Years ago they used to get paid 2000 Yuan, 10 Years ago they used to get paid 3000 Yuan, Now they are being paid 7000 Yuan a month. Which is close to $1000 per month.
most workers salary is still 3000 rmb in china now
Could we get some of that sweet, sweet deflation here in the USA please? Everything is way too expensive.
The video title is a simple yes or no question but the video fails to answer that...
They should just stop resisting the deflation. Let it happen. Let the currency move towards its real value. Let prices go down to match wages
Raise workers pay instead of giving banks more money.
Giving them one month isn’t enough time.
Re-capitalize banks just means keeping banks from collapsing due to years of non performing loans mandated by the government.
China down fall is the funniest propaganda the western RUclipsrs have been barking forever
Let's all further help the Chinese out by reducing any Made-in-China purchases whenever humanly possible.

A British accent makes everything sound better. Haha 😅
They make it hard so they can bring their children to sign up for their army
It works for Russia.
Maybe China is planning to invade one of its neighbours.
I've assumed there will be no war between the US and China, over Taiwan, due to the generational law regarding the one child policy.
No one is going to allow their only child, no matter how old, to sign up for the military to die over Taiwan.
Getting recruited into the PLA is difficult too. It's not uncommon to bribe a local officer to accept the kid into their ranks.
2:24 How many videos do you want to make about China's economic crisis?
TLDR: Yes.
This administration has no idea how much people are suffering, things are getting so hard that we can't take it anymore. Many people are struggling financially to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. I appreciate your advice Stephanie. Imagine I invested $2,000 and got $10,600 back.

Chinese pops probably know, that such "generosity" is temporary. The only way for the country to move forward is to focus on domestic market. You cant export away your economic problems.
I know deflation is way worse than inflation, but honestly wished we had some some of then I can finally afford stuff at home
How many years are we waiting for the Chinese crash? .... remember that china was a 3rd world country just 35y ago
Outside of the big cities, it still is.
When you say that China is collapsing, Western countries are saying that China is their biggest challenge and serious threat.😂😂😂
What is hilarious is Chinese locals putting their entire savings and going into loans believing the market was going to moon
Seeing ordinary people struggling isn’t particularly funny.
That’s actually extremely sad and worrying. People losing their savings is bad enough on its own. A wealthy dictatorship going through an economic crisis is particularly bad, because they have a tendency to seek out international crisis in order to distract from domestic problems.
Like Taiwan… for example…
Greed and Fomo. Chinese are very keen on anything that may provide a short term gain. Their gambling addiction problem is massive.
bet these people don't make a penny from their thesis.
Stimulus with Chinese Characteristics
It’s a bit short sighted after 2 weeks , to comment on whether Chinese stimulus would fail.
It’s an investment guarantee which shores up local savings , let’s look at stocks such as Ali baba. 50% gains .
It’s working .
Look at other issues such as Russian imports on Chinese vehicles since June quarter 24 up by 250 % with 3 Chinese car plants opening in Russia this month by Chinese private sector investment companies.
The western proxy currency tied to China - The AUD $ increased up by 3 % from .66 to .69 in a month on the back of Chinese quantitative easing measures .
Xi Xi Ping knows he needs to continue public policy on improving the Chinese international investment again.
Just a bit too early to call when all signs are pointing north on this one??
The thing they refuse to do is to just give people money. Many of the problems they worry about would go away if the did that.
I wouldn't say the problems would go away, but it could deescalate some of the pressure.
Or at least it could do that if they've done it in time, not it's too late.
@@jwhite5008 I suppose that's fair. It would be more of a patch.
