For the Chinese economy, it signifies, as other commenters have noted and as pointed out in the article, the presence of a highly efficient Chinese industrial base capable of meeting not only domestic demand but also exporting increasingly sophisticated manufactured goods. While oversupply might trigger deflation domestically, the (planned) inflation target of around 3% for 2024, as suggested (and confirmed) by the article, indicates that China is successfully boosting exports instead. This indicates their ability to acquire capital for reinvestment, further enhancing their economy.
Internationally, for consumers, this is positive news, especially in the post-COVID and Ukraine conflict period where inflation has pushed up prices, making goods more expensive. The availability of competitively priced Chinese goods, as the article terms it, “exporting deflation,” therefore benefits consumers worldwide.
However, on an international scale, this trend could potentially pose challenges for other nations trying to develop competitive domestic economies. It creates significant pressure within the capitalist mode of production, potentially making it difficult for other economies to compete effectively. Hopefully forcing them change the mode of production, realistically they will likely go the protectionist route.
I was talking about you.
It is for it’s consumers, not it’s capitalists.
Saying “fuck Chinese people” is hardly “noting” anything. Also you’re wrong that this comes at the cost for the Chinese.
In your bad faith interpretation yes.
When you definitely understand economics
You’re right that I’m not an expert in economics. Can you explain why this is good for China? I’m honestly interested and willing to learn.
At long as you keep your sinophobe comment up: Get fucked.
Also there’s enough answers in this thread
