China is not playing fair in the game of global trade, they are cheating other countries, companies, and consumers out of business by Manipulating their own currency.
So how does a nation like china control their currency?
Can this actually be used to give an unfair advantage in global trade?
If it can, why doesn’t every country do it?
Can businesses profit from this man-made market failure?
And does a currency price even matter?

Isnt that what communism is in part, centralizing the governance, especially economic branches, toward State control/command.. Isnt this also what Fascism has to do since its based not on principle but a kind of pornographic aesthetic of Triumph, which pretty much means perpetual warfare. And the centralizing of the market with communism always collapses when it comes into contact with a free market and hence communism only works if all markets are commanded which means it will also be in a perpetually imperialist state..

in soviet china market is not controlled by you you are controlled by the government
I think your all just drinking the anti China US administration propaganda, who by the way with its massive trade deficits and debts to China feels like its gonna get knocked off the top of the hill. Facts are China is a hardworking nation that saves and does in fact have rule of law (unless you listen to Mike Pompeo) and as a result is prospering. It would be great for them to destabilize China, for example with a overnight introduction of democracy, which historically results in massive strife, the list is long and does include the US revolutionary war, French Revolution and never mind that Germany and Japan had to be bombed into oblivion for them to become democratic. We can go right back to what by many is considered the start of modern democracy, signing of the Magna Karta, war war war. I love how the high priests are sharpening their knives for the sacrifice of others they are preparing for democracy. Democracy is all good btw but its introductory process is not and the only reason why USSR didnt have a civil war when it broke up is because Gorbachov didn't want a civil war in a country with nuclear weapons, but never mind the massive internal destabilization and the proxy wars that resulted out of that. I seriously doubt the US would have wrecked the middle east if the USSR was still around, its funny hearing the US talk about internal checks and balances of power, but does anyone ever wonder, what about external checks and balances to power, or does human nature just look inward?
Funny how that is like actually what a socialist planned economy is.

And with the sheer amount of (usa) dollars china owns, what if they start selling dollars for .75 of the value? China is big enough and if they have the reserve*, they can ruin the usa dollar at a very high price, but cheaper than an all out war.
*They are really building up usa dollars and gold.
I like the fact that you compared one of the timeless classic book with the vile act of absolute evil from CCP.
Indeed
In China people’s standards of living are slowly increasing, it’s not long ago many more people were living as peasants on farms in rural China, as this improves you could expect people to demand more from their economy. This means more services and goods consumed by their people. People expect to be paid more and the cost of doing business goes up. All of a sudden it’s not so cheap to do business in China as it once was.
Its the middle income trap, as workers demand more money the cheap labour is no longer there, then itll likely go to india then the same will happen to them, then probably some african nation but if no nation is available they would choose a country with the best infrastructure, either the US or a western european nation.
@@sausagejockyGaming Countries get stuck in the middle income trap because they can't innovate and create new high tech goods. China is already a highly innovative economy with lots of high tech companies. No way China gets stuck in middle income.

@@neeneko not really. The rate of greediness for each country is different. The US is super Greedy.
Trump doesnt want any country to surpass their supremacy as the strongest economy in the world. Meaning every country cannot pass the US GDP.
Let see in India side. They have 1.5 billion people. If India cannot surpass the USA GDP meaning India people GDP per capita will always be low. Meaning USD 14T/1.5 billion people = USD 9300. Now let say INdia population has increased to 3 billion people It means their GDP becomes only USD 4600. If no cap on the world GDP certainly India will be the strongest economy in the world by USD 9300x 3billion people = USD 28 K trillion. This is way above the US that only has 300 million people. How about if each India earns the same GDP per capita of each American that is USD 46K?

you forgot to mention that when China buys foreign currencies, those currencies increase in value. While any single spender normally wouldn't affect the price, the Chinese government can move around so much currency that they can manipulate the currencies of *other* nations on top of their own, but to a more limited extent.
I like how EE talks about economists in third person as if he wasn't one
I think there is a difference, though. EE doesn't do personal opinions, his aim is to inform rather than evangelise. It's absolutely fair for him to point out what is his own view and what is consensus, or indeed controversy, among the profession.
I think economist is reserved for the ones actually applying the theories in real world setting..it's fair enough for him who seems to be purely in the academia.
He's become the very thing he swore to destroy
When a nation is competing with rivals that are more developed economically, it makes sense to interfere with free markets in the form of import tariffs or devalued currency to promote its own development. (The US did it back in the 19th century.) When it becomes equally developed, however, such interference becomes disadvantageous.
LOL That's outdated theory. Obama has done it and the economy did not work. Then he did QE or made the USD expensive and then the economy run well. The same as BMW,LV etc, will they sell cheap to promote their products? Nope
19th century? How about Bretton Woods and the fake peg of gold to dollar? It wouldn't have become the world reserve currency but for that trick making dollars "as good as gold". Somehow they only managed to keep the farce going for 25 years but it's effect lasts up to this date
@@dpokor This dollar reserve currency should be ended soon other wise the US will corrupt this system and make other countries victims of their bullies.
I guess the first think to do is using gold for everything. When the USD increases in values than purchasing more gold.
@@dpokor It seems appropriate for a time when the world was rebuilding after WWII's devastation. Was there a better way?

Quantitative easing also depresses your currency so any country that prints a lot of money like Japan and the USA are technically "manipulating their currency".
Also pegging your currency is a lot more common than you think, even the Euro is pegged. Currency stability is critical to doing any kind of international trade and because the yuan is not commonly accepted it needs to be be pegged to prevent wild fluctuations.
The effect of US printing is much worse though compared to Japanese Yen. The USD is the de-facto world's reserve currency. According to FMI, 60% of world's reserves are held in dollar-denominated assets (plus 40% of the world's debt). This means the FED printing dollars is literally stealing the world!
US printing also causes inflation so the change in FOREX is meaningless
True but the Euro is pegged for different reasons is it not? The Euro can't be decided entirely by the market due to the wide range of economies from Eurozone countries. However having it pegged is good for countries like Germany and bad for Greece
@@wigglebot2368 I mean because USD is the world reserve currency, there is 80 trillion USD in circulation. I assume even if the US prints 2 trillion USD there won't be much inflation.
@@adaml6703 Yes but there also won't be much FOREX movement

The US does quantitative easing out of necessity not out of strategy
#whatcouldpossibygowrong. The last weminar republic “hold my beer you two 😂 ”
John Clemens P. Rubi this is not true. Every nation in the world have their national reserves based on usd. So when US prints a trillion dollar, the expected currency deflation is actually spread across all other countries. It’s like making an ATM withdrawal out of someone’s else’s account.
SDPRZ every nation’s national reserve are based in USD. When US prints money the expected currency deflation is spread across everyone’s national reserve. It’s like making an ATM withdrawal directly from other people’s account. China printing money more or less gives an unfair advantage by keeping their currency low which in turn maintains their cost of good exports’ attractiveness. Although it might be an unfair advantage, but to overseas end-user consumers like me, it still allows me to buy good for a cheaper price which otherwise would’ve been more expensive.
However US printing money is outright robbing my country’s national reserve which is robbing from the taxes I paid. You call it a necessity to outright robbery?

In India, a lot of people say that India will be the next China, or could even surpass China. But as much as I love my country, I have to say we're just plain stupid compared to China and I don't see any way we could catch up to them considering the kind of attention to detail and relentlessness with which they've chased economic prosperity.
I'm a Russian living in Australia and I agree with you fully. The Chinese are very focused, ambitious and disciplined people and they will get far
India will become China in a way that it will be used as a source of cheap labor. That's the China that think they were referring to. While this is happening, New China will develop even further from India. The only way they can catch up is if they develop unique products (so that they'll be in demand) and not import as much (so that Indian currency isn't devalued as much)
While this is all a nice thought, I'd still like to think that Taiwan has the upper ground. Though I didn't do as much research with this particular country to state any definite outcomes.

Just keep in mind that some toll barriers are because of national security. For example food. Its wise for any nation to retain some level of food production and if that nation has limited access to producing food. It goes without saying that it will usually cost more, so in order to be financially viable you need toll barriers. These toll barriers are also often seasonal based.
On top of what you explained, there is the fact that it's almost impossible to move money out of the PRC for a common Chinese or foreigners who have lived in the PRC, and their direct support to PRC companies sus as help with development mainly trough industrial espionage, their really favorable government loans and the many limits they have placed on other countries companies to make it harder for them to sell stuff in the PRC.
I guess EE like RnB so much he started to become an artist in China.
I would gladly accept Mexico peso too. They all exchange to USD pretty easily anyway.
I think you're complicating this issue. You did explain everything else very well but this, not so much. You could have done better.
Simply put, China builds up a reserve of foreign currency by selling its currency. In this process, the price of its currency is set by China, hence it is able to decide how much it is taking in. By pushing its currency to the world, it decreases the value of its currency. This helps building up the local economy because local goods are cheap, and individuals from other countries tend to buy it cheap and sell it for higher prices. Why other countries can't do it, is because no country is so self sufficient, and they're kind of tied up in an agreement before FIAT came into existence (The Bretton Woods Agreement).
The Federal Reserve manipulates the market using banks and interest rates through the USA worldwide, while China played the UNO reverse card by collecting cash and sending out products, hence manipulating the market. China knows what it is doing, and it is doing it well. Federal Reserve is a private entity, meanwhile China is a nation. The world cannot keep up with China in prices because it almost in entirety, the world currencies are tied up with the US Dollar. China will keep buying US dollar, deflating the currency whilst the purchasing power is very less.
This will toss the US day-to-day economy into chaos. If US stops selling the dollar to China, inflation would occur. This would set it to course, but the purchasing power would increase. This would cause a chain reaction wherein the industries in the US would raise prices and end up screwing up their own people.
A better way to handle it will be to stop printing out notes, ask industries not to increase prices, stop selling US dollar to China, and produce things inside of the country. It'll take time to adjust to the prices, but it'll be worth it.
Do you seriously believe that America can tell three separate parts of their country from different locations and levels to collaborate on a single economic goal for maybe 5-10 years?
China knows what American politicians want, and how selfish they are. If its free money at the cost of Americans, they don't care, suffering Americans arent their problem
Hi! At 12:49 you mention that you'll leave a journal article in the sources and citations, but I don't find any sources nor citations in the description nor in the comments. Where is it? Thanks!
I LOVED the Simpsons reference, I know this would probably mean a lot more work, but the Simpsons has a lot of material that may relate to your videos, and would add a lot to the video.
I hear "Toyota Corola"

Me too
Ease of doing business report this year is cancelled because of China, Azerbaijan, UAE & Saudi Arabians manipulating the data🔥
China is incredibly easy to do business with. They will literally disappear their own population if they get in the way of profits for you and the government,
@@Rudenbehr if so why isn't China free market?
One point that I think is slightly glossed over (if I missed a sentence he said let me know) is that undervalued currencies are not always good for local businesses. They make it more expensive to import and less expensive to export, so if you're making simple goods that only use materials from inside you're country, you'll benefit. But, more complex goods usually require parts that may need to be shipped in from other countries (for example phones and cars) and in this case those imports can eat into local businesses bottom line.
I think that EE is more correct to say "undervalues currencies help local businesses" in regards to China because of their capacity to create so many of their intermediary materials (say microchips for phones) locally, but they can't create everything (yet) so the benefit will depend on the business and their production line needs.
Anyone has link to the article he is referring to at 12:50 ?? I can't seem to find it in the video description or comments.
Also, where is his email link he mentioned in several pervious videos??
And if you read about history, the rest of the world hasn’t been fair to China too in the past 200 years.
the world hasn't been fair to the world if you go back long enough.
Well maybe not to the brits.
You get a like just off the strength of that title
AHAH!! Nice closing remarks, I was hoping that was where you were going to go! Looking forward to it *8 )
The devaluation of a currency doesn't always work in the direction you mention at min 6-7 though. When your cadillac sells for double the price in Germany because of the euro's relative value, the company might pump its price in the US, resulting in inflation. This has been a pretty big problem in Argentina, for example.
That's how China is able to offset the cost of trade tarriff's imposed by West by decreasing the value of their currency.
I think that buying stuff from abroad and bringing it back home to resell still counts as an import, and therefor taxed when found, so even those people will find China a bit more unappealing to buy from than usual.
The real loophole to the trade war is that China sells parts, so all they need is to sell some unfinished goods into other countries like South Korea, Japan or Vietnam for them to complete, stamp in their brand, and sell it to the US. Iphone has parts made in China, same goes for Samsung and Japanese brands. Pretty much why Trump wants to drag in more countries to the cause.
@fane babanu Yeah tbh, point is that it's not only Americans using Chinese factories. Samsung isn't even American
@Flare Bruh, credit where credit is due. Germans killed tons of people but that doesn't mean the cars they make aren't good.
@@madensmith7014 Guys, the thing is China has the scale and countries/companies have been dependent on China for decades!! They cannot pivot suddenly. It will take time for companies to shift their supply chain which is a costly affair but it has started happening.
Doesn't the US manipulate it's currency through the Federal Reserve
The federal reserve isn't ran by the government. The decisions it makes is entirely separate from the US government itself. The currency itself doesn't get manipulated like the Chinese government does things.
Yes, it’s called Quantitative Easing
@@dennisp8520 keep dreaming
@@dennisp8520 That's bullshit. Look up the website of the federal reserve.
It's www.federalreserve.gov.
What does gov stand for?
Also, its board members are nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate.
Pray tell what kind of private enterprise free of government control would have such a structure in place.
@@zeus907 oh god, please help this poor ignorant soul. The federal reserve is literally doing its own independent thing. The president, Congress, etc don't have any say over its montary policy. That is different from China who littlerally can have their leader snap there figures to change how the money is being printed and so forth.
www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/about_12799.htm
How is the exchange rate of other countries (like UK, Eurozone, Canada, Japan etc.) determined? How is the value of US dollar determined? What is quantitative easing doing in regard of the exchange rate and international trade?

Economics of June 4th 1989
Economic problems are, in fact, the reason behind that incident. Back then, in the earlier stage of economic reform, China had two sets of prices, one base on central planing the other market. It was supposed to be a transition between the planned economy to a free market. This inevitably leads to and severe exploitation of the system, often from corrupt officials. To counter this problem, the government decided to allow the previously planned prices of domestic goods to rise (to the same level of market) so that China can transition to a market economy in a short period. The slogan back then was, ”prolong suffering is worse than temporary suffering.” This policy worthen the already high inflation rate and leads to people stockpiling goods in panic. The discontent eventually leads to mass demonstrations. The Chinese government did away with the two sets of prices in the winter of 1989 after the suppression of protest.
The 1989 protest is framed in the West as ”pro-democracy.” Although such characterization holds some truth, the protest has more to do with corruption and mishandling of the economy.
The thing about this so called dead weight or whatever societal cost u mentioned, think of it like a capitalist type wealth redistribution strategy.
The government takes in taxes from the people and businesses, pays for these..."manipulation" thingy, and other nations buy from the businesses, giving them more income, hence producing more tax income. So to get money in, one has to provide goods or services to get that money. So, instead of the government directly giving the money to help alleviate poverty, they made it so that only those hardworking ones gets it, in a self repeating cycle.
Think back how this all started, from what economic level they came from. And where they are now. This took some long term planning, and i would argue, if you are worried about china now with its "currency manipulation", you will really be even more worried and afraid when it is fully freely floated.
Because that will be the point when the chinese government decide the benefits of free floating yuan will be far more beneficial to china as a whole than a "controlled" one.
Just a question on the Cadillac vs Mercedes analogy, but if the value of the dollar decreases, wouldn't the cost to produce the Cadillac increase as well, thereby increasing the cost of the car?
Please make a video on what can be the reasons that can make USD loose it’s grip in on as The worlds reserve currency.
*US: Accomplishes World Domination via false-flag induced 'freedom invasions' to prop up Petrodollar*
*The Western Media: China bad, they manipulate their currency AND WE DON'T!* 😂😂😂
At least we don't have gulags and concentration camps. Also we pay our workers more than a couple cents an hour.
And don't forget what the media says when an American President who opposes all these invasions and wars comes into power (Trump).
@stockart whiteman I never said we're not bad, I'm just saying we're not as bad.

@@denizerdal6465 minimum hourly wage in Shanghai is ~3$/h, with smaller cities being 2$/h. Then that's minimum, most people makes a lot more than that, as minimum wage jobs are usually only taken by students or uneducated people, and long story short, majority of new generation has universe degrees so the second kind if rapidly disappearing leaving students as the only ones working for minimum wage.
Last time I was this early, I was waiting for a notification that EE had put out a new video...so tonight...I was waiting for ur video tonight 😂
I truly love your sober takeaways on China`s economy,
it really helps one's research on understanding how a global society works.
Thank you very much sensei!
I remember my Professor saying that Japan actually manipulates way more times than China.
Wait... This is just importing stuff from China 🇨🇳 😮😲😯 and now you are playing the game China created
Just became a Patreon 🧡Keep up the awesome videos
Finally a very objective view of this whole controversy over currency manipulation.
Hey dude, Excellent video analysis, I count myself to be successful in trading because of the amazing strategy of Mr Jack Jones, My portfolio have grown tremendously courtesy to his great mentorship.
This is absolutely encouraging, My friend referred me to this same trader (Jack) few days back after hiding her source of income from me for 3 months!
How do i contact your broker?
He gives me a great percentage of profit and i beerly encounter any losses with his amazing strategy through out my 2 years of investing with him. I invested $10,000 as of last month and i made a huge profit of $17,350 in just 2 weeks, all thanks to Mr Jack Jones.
@@thomgarcia4983 I literally don't lose funds to the stock market anymore. All thanks to the genius Mr Jack Jones. His strategy is second to none. Take this as a favor just hit him up.
The rich stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping, then the poor stay poor by spending like rich yet not investing like the rich.
I learnt that from Mr Jack Jones who gives me more knowledge no how investments are really done. His really a great broker to brag about anywhere and anytime.
Can we just start calling tariffs TAXES and admit that Trump drastically raised TAXES on commodities which hurts the consumer, especially the middle class, which is the primary consumer?
Don't let the trump fanboys hear you say that. All his policies are genius and apparently he's doing a great job
“iT’s BaSiC eCoNoMiCs” said the guy who never took an econ class and thinks socialism is when the government does stuff.
@Stephen Jenkins ...Or we could have just used TPP which SPECIFICALLY barred China from the table and LOWERED taxes. But, that was Obama, so lowering taxes is now socialism now I guess.
I like the mirror of the title with a particular book :)
We would like to see a video explaining the economy of Finland!
most of the developing ecnomies do this though. one way or another
Sure....america never manipulates its own currency, sureeeeeeeee
bruh he spent the whole second half of the video explaining the difference between money printing and what china does.
Uh, yeah, i commented this after the first sentence he uttered....shot my gun too early.
This is a hard topic for me, gotta rewatch a couple of time more to fully understand this topic
You should put time stamps of the chapters in the description so we can see them on the timeline.
lol I am pretty sure the US does the same thing when it suits them.
The US dollar floats freely in world currency markets - as do all other WTO member's currencies. Except China of course. It's the only WTO member not required to do so. Talk about a rigged market.
Great video summary, thanks! I had two questions:
1) Does the somewhat recent purchase of property/stake/other foreign investment by CCP-backed organizations affect your outlook at all on the recent easing of controls on the RMB? i.e. TenCent
2) Given your conclusion, is a tariff a reasonable response to this type of manipulation? Seemed like a large number of people were angry about recent US tariffs on Chinese imports.
for 2) i think manipulation of currency and imposing tariffs are essentially the same in terms of purpose, both help increase the competitivity of one country's companies in global market. Problem of increasing tariffs is that reciprocal response may be taken and this only benefits the third party in international trade.
When Iraq was under Saddam 1 dinar = USD 3.2. Meaning if Irak has foreign debts in the USD worth of USD 1 million, it was only equaled to 300 k dinar. Look at now 1 USD = 1,195. Meaning their USD 1 million debts worth 1 Billion Dinar. That was increament of 1,195 times. How about if 1 USD = 2 Trillion dinar? What if Iraq becomes default and cannot pay? What do you think the USA will have from Iraq if Iraq is default?
I apologise but where can one get the sources for the video. Checked the description. Thanks in advance
Is there anything that the chinese arent actively manipulating tbh?(!) :^]
Good old china, all of our best friend. At least as long as you do whatever they want. I am truly worried how bad it will get in the coming decades as they become more powerful.
