It’s not just D.C. Also EU, Japan + India, Brazil etc. It’s not latest but on-going friction that’s intensifying. It’s not hypocrisy to react to China’s econ and political model that forces others to pay costs of own policy agenda and shortcomings. Next.

In this piece, Chris Miller (chip Wars fame) assesses the so far mostly positive outcomes of the Chips legislation. The Chips Act has been surprisingly successful so far via @FT on.ft.com/3xRnpgF
And, this thinking is (still) misinformed. In maths, China’s share of global gdp growth might be high, but that doesn’t imply causation when its balance of payments is in large surplus. Bbg et al shd know better. Surplus countries offer less to gdp growth than deficit states

Interesting piece about China’s 12m annual graduate throughput, unemployment and skill mismatch. File under ‘overcapacity’. Why so many Chinese graduates cannot find work economist.com/china/2024/04/… from @TheEconomist

Not sure why this is a developing country mindset. But what I think Mohamed is getting at, simply put, is that richer nations also need to focus on high quality and inclusive institutions and good governance to move fwd and adapt. The U.K. clearly has flunked both.

#China's EV & battery sectors were massively subsidized, & ring-fenced, starting around 2009. A decade later Beijing began to liberalize these rules, but only *after* key champions (BYD, CATL, etc.) achieved scale. Now we're being told how successful the "private sector" is.
If Beijing did not anticipate that its trading partners would not be keen on a recovery plan from the property market slump that focused on directed credit to manufacturing, well, Chinese policy makers are living inside a huge bubble 2/2
