3/11/2021 - In this episode, we talk about why China's economic future is potentially shakier than pundits might suggest. It's not uncommon to hear about a "new cold war" between the US and China. It's also not uncommon to hear China's GDP growth numbers touted alongside the looming threat of China "overtaking" the US as an economic superpower. For that reason, we go over some reasons why we should be skeptical of China's economic regime ranging from a potential housing bubble to internal borders hindering the labor force to government bureaucratic waste to a decreasing birth rate. All of these cast doubt on the prevailing narrative and should at least be considered if you're critically evaluating US/China relations.
