Lead-Lag Live

Join us for an enlightening discussion with Leland Miller from China Beige Book as we unpack the intricate web of China's economic landscape. From the challenges faced by Chinese households in securing diversified investments to the enigmatic nature of the stock market, we navigate a realm where policy often overshadows growth. Discover why even the most anticipated government stimuli may fall short without pivotal reforms in foreign investment and legal infrastructure. Through a critical lens, we examine the structural dynamics that favor state enterprises and dissect the demographic hurdles that loom over China's economic horizon.
Our dialogue takes an intriguing turn as we explore China's geopolitical maneuvers, delving into its strategic engagements with nations like India and its technological aspirations in AI, quantum computing, and biotech. The episode unveils the implications of these ambitions on both military capabilities and global tech policies, with a particular focus on the U.S. stance on technology transfers. We also cast a spotlight on China's military ambitions and its intense focus on Taiwan, fueled by a resource-intensive strategy aimed at achieving its objectives by 2027.
We wrap up by casting a spotlight on key sectors within China, from the shifting dynamics in the luxury market to the resilient rise of the electric vehicle industry, propelled by substantial state support. As we dissect the property sector's evolution and the government's intricate balancing act to maintain stability, the episode challenges the reliability of traditional economic indicators, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of China's economic health. Whether you're an investor, policy maker, or simply curious about China's evolving role on the global stage, this conversation promises to offer valuable insights and provoke thought.
