China Protests Turn Violent as Manufacturing Falls to 7 Month Low & Economic Downturn - Joe Blogs



Protests have broken out across China as the Zero Tolerance Covid Policy continues to cause major disruption and upset. In a recent fire 10 people died at an apartment building sparking protests on the streets which rapidly spread to over 50 cities in China. These protests come at a time when GDP & wages are both falling and unemployment is rising. Real Estate is key to the success of the CHINESE ECONOMY as it contributes around 30% of GDP. Manufacturing Output is now at a 7 month low and the property market has seen a further FALL in SALES, PRICES & NEW BUILD STARTS. In addition to this consumer confidence and demand for property are at an all time low.

To invade Taiwan and lose their two biggest trading partners- the US and the EU, isn’t thinking it thru.
