Western economies faced tight monetary policies and rampant inflation in 2023, while Asia faced mixed growth. 2024 will likely bring disinflationary forces in the West, contrasting with continued economic deceleration in China.

Subsidies have evolved into dual-purpose instruments, serving as drivers of self-reliance and geopolitical tools. This transformation, spurred by economic strategies and national security concerns, blurs the line between economic prosperity and safeguarding strategic interests, urging the need for a unified global economic stimulus strategy and enhanced cooperation in new realms to navigate this complex interplay effectively.

Carefully parsed economic data may serve as a smokescreen to conceal the genuine state of the U.S. economy and mislead investors. The fog confuses both the observers and the promoters of perceptions, rendering everyone incapable of gauging the seriousness of underlying issues.

The global electric vehicle industry, dominated by China's rapid growth, has intensified competition, prompting the EU to investigate Chinese EVs and risking strained Sino-EU trade ties. The EU must balance climate aspirations and domestic interests while bolstering its EV industry for a sustainable and competitive future.

The answer is no. But you’d never know it by listening to the United States and European Union, who want to scare foreign investors away. The more China opens up, the darker the picture they paint. They won’t be impressed, no matter how hard China tries to improve.
