The home-grown threat to China that has rattled Xi Jinping
The problem in houses, solar panels, batteries and other industries that supply them – and is not limited to these sectors – China’s economic model gives priority to investment, production and jobs.
Beijing determined strategic growth areas in its five -year national economic plans and distributed major financial subsidies to these sectors to promote investment.

Local governments are concerned about getting their share of investments and jobs, then present their own incentives, and help companies hurry to hurry to do what they encourage Beijing to do, and lead to excessive investment and excessive capacity.
Export is a safety valve for excessive capacity, especially in post -pandemic environment where local demand is weak.
Donald Trump, from the United States and Europe to Latin America – from the export markets – underwater its industries, and when he is worried that he underwent a permanent deflation within his own economy, China finally accepts the need to move.

Ten years ago, China had similar excessive capacity problems in steel and coal sectors. Beijing responded by pumping the financial stimulus into the economy by pumping economic shock, forcing plant closures and corporate consolidations.
However, unlike the existing excessive investment, these sectors belonged to the state to a large extent. Beijing will try to protect a large number of private companies participating in the crowded advanced production sectors, which China has set for the latest growth phase.
Trump’s tariffs will be even more difficult.

China’s latest trade figures, for June, the record was more than 586 billion dollars ($ 900 billion) or an increase of 5.8 percent of the same month of the same month.

With Trump’s agreement with Vietnam, aiming to use lower task rates from the third countries, including punishing tariffs transferred to the United States, is a major threat to the ability of China to continue to rely on China’s growth trade.
Last year, Beijing tried to encourage internal consumption with incentives for the trade of automobile and household tools and other goods.
It seems that this has some effects – China’s GDP increased by 5.3 percent in June quarter compared to the same period last year – but this is an inevitable policy that will inevitably decrease as the number of households with the capacity to benefit from it decreases.
In Trump’s new world trade order, there will be less global trade with China and less trade, which means radical changes in China’s economic model.
There are other, more sustainable measures that Beijing can take to increase internal consumption, especially the increase in expenditures on China’s social welfare security networks, but the XI was reluctant to start large -scale stimuli expenditures or to remove the economy from excessive confidence in exports.
In the periods of economic stress, the authorities experienced the explosion of the Chinese property sector, which is used to promote the wider economy and encouraged the explosion of the Chinese property sector, today, the excessive investment and excessive capacity scope in other sectors will understand that China is a threat to economic and social stability that can exacerbate by a downward landing in trade.
The threat is not only from Donald Trump. On Friday, the G-7 economies agreed to increase the collective efforts of China’s excessive capacities and the sovereignty of strategic sectors, including export floods and rare lands produced.
