Chinafication: It's a Global Phenomena

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/44fYpKv I am not sure it has gotten nearly the press it deserves, but the one economic story that has managed to get the financial press to talk about something besides the Fed’s rate plans and “will we or won’t we” talk regarding U.S. recession has been the state of China’s economy. Don’t get me wrong – it has hardly been barn-burning stuff, and press coverage has been limited to more substantive financial media (as opposed to the news that everyone watches, reads, and clicks). But there is increasing conversation about the state of China’s economy and what that means to the rest of the world. If the coverage was merely, “China’s economy is not good,” it would be a pretty boring story. One of the reasons the story has a little interest to people is that after two years of hearing nothing but the “inflation” word when discussing places like the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, the Chinese economic conversation is carrying with it the word “deflation” – and that seems to have people’s ears perked up (even those who have no idea what it really means). In this week’s Dividend Cafe we are going to take a look at the state of affairs in China and offer a little forecast as to where they may be headed. More important than current conditions, as I see it, is what they plan to do about it all. I will propose in the Dividend Cafe that China’s response will be every bit as relevant to the United States (and the rest of the globe) as it will be to China. So jump on in to the Dividend Cafe, and let’s see if “Chinafication” is about to be a buzz word for the rest of the world.
