The difference between US and China : US run by a bunch of lawyers and reporters and China run by a bunch of engineers and professional bureaucrats. US politicians are beholden to big donors be it corporation or individual for their campaign funding which they MUST return the favors after winning the election and China politicians are beholden to 1 guy who in return must please the large populace to continue to hold on to power.

Instead of "lawyers", we can subsitite "liars". There are congressman who lie their way to Congress, congressman taking bribes and out right lying about them, congresswoman (Speaker, no less) engaged in insider trading, presidents who revert on their promises, many promises, Supreme Court Justice taking bribes and refusing to acknowledge it, Supreme Court Justices lied to the Senate on their confirmations. All three branches of government, Liars all. The worst thing is: This is supposed to be a "democracy". The voters are supposed to have the power to do something. Either they enjoy having liars, or it is actually not a "democracy".

He's like Ray Dalio. He has a lot of eggs in a Chinese basket, so he can't afford to be too critical. A lot of questionable assumptions on China went completely unchallenged by Ed.
US produce only 17% of the world chip, China produce 19%... majority of the chip are produce by the asian tigers. US publication will list revenue to mislead the picture. but revenue is not production...
The Media is especially getting the Chinese Economy wrong recently as well. Yes, China's Economy does have some serious problems right now, but the reality is that the 6.3% growth we saw in Q2 is significantly better than the 4.5% in Q1, even if it didn't hit growth forecasts, but I think just over 6% should be the expectation right now though, because the recovery phase will have its ups and downs, which is why that 6.3% is just where growth should be. Great show as well.
Does Debt Really Matter? According to the latest tale spun by Janet Yellen, apparently it doesn't. To support this story, reference was made on Japan. However, the difference between the US and Japan is that most of Japan's national debt is being held by the Japanese while US Debt is globally held. With US interest rates continuing to go up and affecting the exchange rates of countries holding US Treasury Bills many have no choice but to reduce their holdings to support their own currencies while US financial sanctions are pushing countries towards direct exchange instead of using the US$.
Japanese national debt is recycle into shares, the government is in debt not because it is spending but because it is buying share. this is why people rarely talk about investing in Japanese market, because government purchase inflate the stock price. Japan has a surplus in capital, the problem with what abenomic did is now japan cannot sell the share without causing market to drop, so they are kinda struck with their shares...
@@lagrangewei Abe and Kuroda screwed the next generations in Japan for their own short term personal glory. Japan is screwed. 50 years from now, the re-evaluation of Abe and Kuroda will not be so kind. They are purely selfish.

Thanks for another interesting interview! I think Louis misspoke when he said BYD sold 10,000 Seagulls in Australia in 24 hours, though. I believe he was referring to the 10,000 orders BYD reported after the the Shanghai Auto Exhibition. I don't think BYD has any plans to sell the Seagull anytime soon in Australia due to concerns that it is not ready to meet all Australian safety requirements. While the Seagull is interesting news in the auto world, I don't think we will see an $11k USD EV in the US, Australia or many other places in the near future. Hopefully, I will be proven wrong.
You really think the US will let Australians buy Chinese cars? Even if they pass all safety standards requirements? I don't think so, mate. Albanese would have a swimming accident or something like that.
pretty sure BYD car pass the safety requirement, as european standard are higher. it is supply side concern that they are not selling there. they think they can make more money selling to Europe, they will need to oversupply those market before they move to smaller market.
China supplies eighty-percent of the active ingredients NEEDED FOR R MEDIcine. I have had a fifo inventory for seizure meds&migraine meds since 2012. In Nevada we're in a megadrought. Bankrupting American semi-conductor manufacturers doesn't help me.
Interesting, ( I looked it up) TSMC plant is a massive endeavor. Each chip requires just shy of eight gallons of water; a cotton plant requires around ten gallons. To operate just one fab, TSMC will use 8.9 million gallons a day. Then there is electricity. The plants require as much as 2,400 megawatts each day-as much as 50,000 homes and more than many other industrial uses. HVAC systems can be responsible for as much as 65 percent of energy consumption. In addition to requiring exceptionally clean air, cleanrooms require very particular-and consistent-humidity and temperature levels. Chillers operate year-round, providing cold air for AC units. Sounds like they should build this in Quebec, lots of cheap hydropower and water, and reduced cooling costs.
TSMC's move to the US was doomed to failure before it even started. Not only because of hardware/physical difficulties but software (people, culture..etc..) difficulties as well. The move is a political decision, not an economic one.
@@cestmoi4252 US Politicians don't make choices based on the benefits to the Nation, nor sanity, they make decisions and spend the taxpayers' money based on the benefits flowing to themselves. When they happen to make decisions that are good for the People, it is by pure luck.
The thing that strikes me at the core of all of this is the idea of a command control government. We have never in my entire life of 65 years actually had very much of a free market. Worse than that, it's becoming more and more centrally command control, not just in communist China, but definitely within the USA. This to me is a very disheartening realization and won the changes my understanding of how to operate.
Exactly Mr Q! The great wars of the 20th century gave great impetus to the notion of War Socialism, ie the command and control of the nation’s economic life. The trend has proceeded and accelerated since 1945, under the rubric of Keynesian economics. Even the US central bank has joined the ranks, assuming for itself, authority over unemployment and inflation. Is it possible for the Genie to go back into the bottle? Probably not in our lifetimes. The day of reckoning approaches!

I think the decision to build manufacturing plants in Arizona is a very good idea. Every big move costs money, but the goal justifies the investment (means).

The state also has little to offer in terms of lifestyle for Taiwanese engineers who would need to move there. But it’s ok because the bill is on Uncle Sam.
No it won't. 90% of the investor in chinese stocks are still retail investors. If there is a stock boom, these people will pull in their friends and family to invest. This means these people don't focus on work and have their eyes glued to the stock ticker like gambling. If there is a major company stock that is rising too fast, the gov will launch investigation which usually result in the stock price moderating or even declining in value. The govt wants the stock to be stable and rising sustainably, not a volatile stock market where the ordinary people can get hurt since most retail investors knows nothing about how the system work. For them its just gambling and a fantasy to get rich quick. When doing business in china, don't trust capitalist analysis, especially if the specialist is foreign.

How can you call the Chinese investment in the BRI productive, when the transport networks are staying idle? It was productive as long as it provided financing to the building companies to build the road/railway networks, that traverse the connected countries supposed to benefits from these investment to develop their commerce with China. But you don't speak a word about the investment fallouts in terms of economic development or the trade activities between China and their BRI partners. What has happened to the Central Asia countries that benefited in the fist place from these Chinese grandiose constructions? They have bene colonized by the Chinese banks with no returns in sight for the people what concerns the retail commerce and the increase of revenues to be spend in consumption. What is the point in connecting Hambourg with Beijing if the German imports in retail goods are staying flat?? It is not surprising then that you don't say a word about how Beijing is killing its home international business (see the collapse of the special economic zones) to serve the needs of the western consumers. Maybe the consumer markets have migrated to Africa. I would be interested to know about that. More surprising you don't even explain the financing sources of the BRI which is supposed to be the printing press of the PBOC, when the Chinese debt in Renminbi was morphed into debts on the eurodollars markets through off balance sheet operations to tap the endless ressources of the debt market in US dollars. Actually you don't give any reasons, but a list of non sensical propositions because not rooted in reality but macro fiction, which comme directly from the Chinse government propaganda. By the way, I would be also very interested if you could explain the future of the Chinese high speed rail network without the external capital financing, let alone the technologies to manage the rail networks originating in Japan, South Korea or Japan. To substantiate my point with just one practical example. Any inflation/deflation expansion in China to report since the Xi decision to cut the Chinese economy financing with foreign capital/debts following the Covid lockdown??? How many defaults on Chinse bonds??
LOL. US stocks may be down over the "past 12 months", but China stocks are flat... at levels seen in 2005. China is not investable. Maybe you can get a short-term trade out of it.
Spoiler alert: Louis thinks the U.S. has too much debt and would invest in commodities. Everything else was complaints and criticisms. Not that's he wrong about the debt (or commodities). It's just that there's nothing new or uniquely insightful here.
@@bigredfan123this myth about HK losing freedom need to end. HK was a colony, its people could not even vote for it governor. you really think racially chinese people in hk voted for all those WHITE governors? this is just whitewashing by the british to pretend they left HK as a democracy, it never was. and the one china policy was a Taiwan policy, the UN block PRC from joining because Taiwan claim it is the only legitimate government. so this problem isn't even created by the PRC, the PRC simply inherited the one china policy of the UN. Karma is a bitch.
Let me remind you, the people of the Chinese Island of Taiwan, are Chinese 😂😂😂. And HK SAR of the PRC is ranked higher on having freedoms then the USA, aka IOU-country.
That's funny, but the die was cast a very long time before Biden. Not only did the decision to offshore to China set the chickens free, the trade spat started by Trump racked up a good amount of debt as it compensated farmers for lost sales to China. So... Chickens will come home to roost, but stop laying eggs. Everything Biden claims is true, but nobody wants to listen. America needs to invest in itself, to build value in its own economyq, but it needs to look long term at the problem, because surpressing wage growth, while racking up profits offshore does nothing to help an econony that is 70% based on consumer spending. And the world cant afford to buy your debt any more. So sonething has to be done, as the party is in the process of winding down. Wait too long and the pain might be even greater.

This video was published only 2 weeks ago but in that time the opening remarks and presumptions/assumptions of this talk are already undermined... The US economy is not weak but still ungodly strong, US debt is not suffering from too much indebtedness, and it doesn't sound like this guy considers the economic benefits of non-infrastructure spending. I understand that a lot of economists consider spending on healthcare, welfare, unemployment and other social programs as non-productive but upon closer inspection healthier individuals can work harder and better than those suffering from smoking related diseases, don't eat well and so on. There are measurable, objective benefits to a happier, healthier workforce that's properly taken care of by progressive government policies. Although the WSJ can be criticized for bias and at times lack of journalistic ethics particularly after the Murdochs bought the publication, the content of this video is not accurate or supportable so the criticism is no better.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Please allow me to respond. With regard to US debt, the point is the US has not been living within its means, but instead borrowing from the rest of the world at an unsustainable level. What happens if the world ceases to lend at current levels? It doesn't matter where the borrowing has gone - healthcare, social welfare, defense, infrastructure - the point is we could be approaching the limits of debt and the world's capacity (or willingness) to lend. That could have serious consequences. We already see nations actively working to reduce reliance on the US dollar. As to your comment re: this video, everything here is supportable, but comes from a perspective different than your own, or mine, for that matter. That's important and is one of the reasons why I conduct these interviews. I feel it important, as part of my own investment and economic research, to hear from people who think differently, have different backgrounds, and are not standing in the same place as me. While I do not agree with everything Louis Gave says, I have immense respect for him, his intellect, and his integrity. As someone born in France who then spent much of his career in Asia, his perspective is unique and worth considering. Again, thanks for the comment and for your time. -Ed
Most of the US Politicians work for the Military-Industrial Complex. The future generations' liabilities are spent on weapons, which also create massive negative good will from the rest of the World. What happier healthier workforce? If you want measurable, objective benefits, look at the life expectancy in the US. How's that measuring up? Look at the facts. Stop believing the liars that are the US Politicians. Wake up.

How can you call the Chinese investment in the BRI productive, when the transport networks are staying idle? It was productive as long as it provided financing to the building companies to build the road/railway networks, that traverse the connected countries supposed to benefits from these investment to develop their commerce with China. But you don't speak a word about the investment fallouts in terms of economic development or the trade activities between China and their BRI partners. What has happened to the Central Asia countries that benefited in the fist place from these Chinese grandiose constructions? They have bene colonized by the Chinese banks with no returns in sight for the people what concerns the retail commerce and the increase of revenues to be spend in consumption. What is the point in connecting Hambourg with Beijing if the German imports in retail goods are staying flat?? It is not surprising then that you don't say a word about how Beijing is killing its home international business (see the collapse of the special economic zones) to serve the needs of the western consumers. Maybe the consumer markets have migrated to Africa. I would be interested to know about that. More surprising you don't even explain the financing sources of the BRI which is supposed to be the printing press of the PBOC, when the Chinese debt in Renminbi was morphed into debts on the eurodollars markets through off balance sheet operations to tap the endless ressources of the debt market in US dollars. Actually you don't give any reasons, but a list of non sensical propositions because not rooted in reality but macro fiction, which comme directly from the Chinse government propaganda. By the way, I would be also very interested if you could explain the future of the Chinese high speed rail network without the external capital financing, let alone the technologies to manage the rail networks originating in Japan, South Korea or Japan. To substantiate my point with just one practical example. Any inflation/deflation expansion in China to report since the Xi decision to cut the Chinese economy financing with foreign capital/debts following the Covid lockdown??? How many defaults on Chinse bonds??
LOL.
US stocks may be down over the "past 12 months", but China stocks are flat... at levels seen in 2005.
China is not investable. Maybe you can get a short-term trade out of it.
USA tech stocks were brilliant in 2021.
You would have lost 90%.
Being flat is NOT BAD.
You are saying you have no explanation for the situation. Maybe its time to throw your outdated theory over board if it's not doing the job.
It’s called the almighty dollar 💵 because it is almighty ❤😊
He said nothing about vaccine harm, I can’t take anyone seriously who doesn’t see that
Spoiler alert: Louis thinks the U.S. has too much debt and would invest in commodities. Everything else was complaints and criticisms. Not that's he wrong about the debt (or commodities). It's just that there's nothing new or uniquely insightful here.
Personally, I thought his comments on China were especially insightful.
@@bigredfan123this myth about HK losing freedom need to end. HK was a colony, its people could not even vote for it governor. you really think racially chinese people in hk voted for all those WHITE governors? this is just whitewashing by the british to pretend they left HK as a democracy, it never was. and the one china policy was a Taiwan policy, the UN block PRC from joining because Taiwan claim it is the only legitimate government. so this problem isn't even created by the PRC, the PRC simply inherited the one china policy of the UN. Karma is a bitch.
Let me remind you, the people of the Chinese Island of Taiwan, are Chinese 😂😂😂.
And HK SAR of the PRC is ranked higher on having freedoms then the USA, aka IOU-country.
@@bigredfan123what freedom did HK had under the British colony?
@@bigredfan123… what kind of freedom has HK people lost except cannot separate HK from mainland nor throwing molotov to police?
Bidenomics - the process of discovering that deficits finally matter.
That's funny, but the die was cast a very long time before Biden. Not only did the decision to offshore to China set the chickens free, the trade spat started by Trump racked up a good amount of debt as it compensated farmers for lost sales to China. So... Chickens will come home to roost, but stop laying eggs. Everything Biden claims is true, but nobody wants to listen. America needs to invest in itself, to build value in its own economyq, but it needs to look long term at the problem, because surpressing wage growth, while racking up profits offshore does nothing to help an econony that is 70% based on consumer spending. And the world cant afford to buy your debt any more. So sonething has to be done, as the party is in the process of winding down. Wait too long and the pain might be even greater.
Äää
Ha saying China has become the largest exporter of cars in the world and not mentioning the US company who did it by building the worlds largest car factory. 1m a year in Shanghai. Tesla. All evs are made in China. Thanks to a us company lol
GM has been selling more cars in China than in the US for the last few years
If it wasn't for China, GM would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. Or at least another US taxpayers funded bailout
Err.. you do know that BYD sells more plug in vehicles than Tesla right? Substantially more.
@@kevinlin4895 I said export lol. Byd sells 85% of sales in China
特斯拉来中国之前被各种投资专家认为是骗钱的工具，来中国之后，马上变成广受欢迎的EV。在中国这个新能源的大水池里，游的不快的全得死~。中国市场最终一定会卷出一个怪兽。
The PRC is the biggest market.
Not the USA, aka IOU-country.
This video was published only 2 weeks ago but in that time the opening remarks and presumptions/assumptions of this talk are already undermined... The US economy is not weak but still ungodly strong, US debt is not suffering from too much indebtedness, and it doesn't sound like this guy considers the economic benefits of non-infrastructure spending. I understand that a lot of economists consider spending on healthcare, welfare, unemployment and other social programs as non-productive but upon closer inspection healthier individuals can work harder and better than those suffering from smoking related diseases, don't eat well and so on. There are measurable, objective benefits to a happier, healthier workforce that's properly taken care of by progressive government policies.
Although the WSJ can be criticized for bias and at times lack of journalistic ethics particularly after the Murdochs bought the publication, the content of this video is not accurate or supportable so the criticism is no better.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Please allow me to respond.
With regard to US debt, the point is the US has not been living within its means, but instead borrowing from the rest of the world at an unsustainable level. What happens if the world ceases to lend at current levels? It doesn't matter where the borrowing has gone - healthcare, social welfare, defense, infrastructure - the point is we could be approaching the limits of debt and the world's capacity (or willingness) to lend. That could have serious consequences.
We already see nations actively working to reduce reliance on the US dollar.
As to your comment re: this video, everything here is supportable, but comes from a perspective different than your own, or mine, for that matter. That's important and is one of the reasons why I conduct these interviews. I feel it important, as part of my own investment and economic research, to hear from people who think differently, have different backgrounds, and are not standing in the same place as me. While I do not agree with everything Louis Gave says, I have immense respect for him, his intellect, and his integrity. As someone born in France who then spent much of his career in Asia, his perspective is unique and worth considering.
Again, thanks for the comment and for your time.

Most of the US Politicians work for the Military-Industrial Complex. The future generations' liabilities are spent on weapons, which also create massive negative good will from the rest of the World. What happier healthier workforce?
If you want measurable, objective benefits, look at the life expectancy in the US. How's that measuring up? Look at the facts. Stop believing the liars that are the US Politicians. Wake up.
The problem with US huge debt in recent years is not social welfare but helicopter money.
China is not getting better
So said an american who never live there and doesnt know how the chinese economy works
