What Xinhua chose not to mention in its article, but what nearly everyone else will focus on, is that Chinese banks recorded a net decline of 340 billion yuan in new yuan loans in July, well below already-low expectations for a 120-130 billion increase. But while the sharp and unexpected decline in lending in July will get most of the attention from analysts and the press, what is much more important to me is that total social financing, the best proxy for total debt, actually grew quite strongly in July, by 1.4 trillion yuan. This highlights what we have been seeing all year, which is that China's financing activity is undergoing a structural shift, with the economy relying more than ever on state-led borrowing – and less than ever on private-sector borrowing – to support growth.↗ @aleabitoreddit · 请求账号 @aleabitoreddit · 2026-08-15 05:40:47 UTC · 引用原帖:说我归零的传闻未免也太夸张了吧 哈哈 经历了7月份AI板块的崩盘后,我的YTD收益依然还有 +2,411.84%↗ @michaelxpettis · 请求账号 @michaelxpettis · 2026-08-15 05:40:21 UTC · 原创原帖:Li Wei, associate dean at Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, writes in Caixin that "to genuinely reduce its trade surplus, China must either increase investment or boost domestic consumption. With the marginal returns on traditional infrastructure and real estate investment severely diminished, the only sustainable path is to increase household consumption. This requires profound structural reform. The ultimate goal of such reform is to transfer wealth and income share from the state and corporate sectors to households." This is increasingly becoming how most Chinese economists understand the Chinese economy, although only recently have they been so public about it. The key point here (and one with which many Chinese economists still disagree) is that with marginal returns on most investment so low, reducing China's trade surplus through an increase in investment will only make the longer-term adjustment worse. China, in other words, should be reducing investment, not raising it, in order to regain control over misallocated capital and surging debt, but this also means that the only way to rebalance domestically and reduce the trade surplus requires that saving declines even faster. Li Wei lists one of the ways the saving share of GDP can decline, by transferring income share from the state and corporate sectors to households in order to boost consumption growth relative to the growth in production. He is right, of course. This is certainly one way to reduce saving and bring the trade surplus down, but it won't be easy because doing so will undermine China's manufacturing competitiveness. Unfortunately, there is only one other alternative, and it is much worse. The reduction in saving can also occur with a sharp fall in production growth. As production declines faster that consumption, the saving share automatically declines. Historically this has been how most countries with a similar problem have been forced to adjust, mainly because, like China, they postponed boosting consumption growth for far too long and instead doubled down on their high-investment-growth model. Beijing, of course, will want to do everything it can to avoid this form of adjustment, but the longer it postpones adjustment by boosting consumption growth, the more likely the Chinese economy will adjust through a fall in production growth.↗ @thsottiaux · 请求账号 @thsottiaux · 2026-08-15 05:36:23 UTC · 原创原帖:What’s a hard problem codex solved for you this week?
