China posted a record trade surplus of $1.19 trillion, with exports up 5.5%. While shipments to the U.S. have dropped, Europe and the rest of the world are now absorbing the flood of Chinese goods. The strategy to force China into becoming a consumption-driven economy hasn’t worked—and Beijing itself is struggling with the same goal amid deflation fears and a still-broken real estate market.Chris explains why tariffs failed to reshape China’s economy, the difference between “good” and “bad” deflation, and why China is likely to keep doing what it does best: making—and exporting—a lot of stuff.
