有些驚訝南華早報放這篇出來滅中國威風:

「國際清算銀行總裁卡斯騰斯接受《南華早報》專訪稱,儘管人民幣是全球第五大最常用的支付貨幣,但中國央行清算系統在全球支付體系中,只能是補充地位。人民幣跨境支付系統(CIPS)無法與SWIFT匹敵。」

有期限的數位人民幣會是維尼帝強迫國內消費完成人民幣國際化的終極手段嗎?🤔

「對其他本幣結算貿易帳的貿易對手國來說,人民幣真正的價值背後是有龐大的美元外匯準備在支持,對那十個跟中國以本國貨幣結算貿易帳的對手國來說,他們只是把自己手上的美元外匯存底,以持有人民幣的形式暫時擺在中國而已;中國過去盡全力限制人民使用外匯,現在還努力招商爭取外商訂單賺取美元,都是有道理的。因為中國很了解如果三兆美元外匯存底如果消失,世界上不會有人要跟中國以本國貨幣結算任何東西,屆時人民幣就是廢紙。

現在最大的問題是,使用人民幣買不到足夠的糧食、能源與高階晶片,這必須以實際上的貿易順差加上外國投資來獲取美元,才能達成這個目標;但是中國又要同時推動人民幣國際化,這又必須以逆差的形式,讓外國賺取足夠的人民幣,才有可能達成。兩種情況不可能兼顧。」

原來數位人民幣是不計息的嗎? 光這點就大輸實體人民幣了啊, 兩者一比一兌換等於是前者強制使用者損失利息, 再加上使用期限這限制, 等於只能花不能存了呀...

中國內部經濟似乎還未見起色:

"在中國28個行業中,有20個行業的企業收入增長速度低於官方公佈的 GDP,其中包括從汽車到家用電器等消費者最喜歡的行業。收入疲軟反過來壓低消費品公司的收益,這些公司通常非常密切地跟踪 GDP 增長,卻在第一季出現萎縮。"

WSJ這篇就比較客觀審視各總經領域表現:

"Consumer confidence is low. More important, some economists say, is that Beijing hasn’t been able to meaningfully change Chinese consumers’ long-running propensity to save rather than spend—a response to a threadbare social-safety net that means families must sock away more for medical bills and other emergencies.

Chinese household consumption accounts for around 38% of annual gross domestic product, according to United Nations data, compared with 68% in the U.S. "

日本前車之鑒的通縮沒得師:

"中國政府的刺激也是偏向投資而非消費。中國人民銀行也降息,但每次幅度僅0.1個百分點。中國的處境或許比日本更不利。儘管中國的「共同富裕」政策引發所得分配更平等,進而提升消費的希望,但中國家庭支出僅佔GDP 38%,遠低於全球平均的55%,且過去6年全無增加。"

"China’s producer prices index, a gauge of prices charged by manufacturers, fell 5.4% from a year earlier in June, the weakest reading since December 2015 and marks the ninth straight month of year-over-year declines."

又一篇對目前中國經濟數據表現持偏向通縮的預測:

"China’s current core inflation, which excludes food and fast-dropping energy prices, has been lower only in the pandemic and the 2008-09 global financial crisis, according to data starting in 2008. Economic growth in the second quarter of the year was just 3.2% annualized, lower than any time from the financial crisis to the pandemic. Any hope that postpandemic reopening would lead to a return to rapid economic growth has floundered."

長期觀察的結果要等到危機爆發時才顯露其中肌理:

“彼得森國際經濟研究所(the Petersen Institute for International Economics)所長波森(Adam Posen)日前在《外交事務》上撰文指出,自2010年代中期以來,中國便早已久病,猶如罹患「經濟上的長新冠」(economic long Covid) 。2015年以來,銀行存款佔中國GDP的比重上升了50%。 與 2015 年初相比,私營部門的耐用品消費下降了約1/3,並且自經濟重新開放以來一直在下降,而不是因需求被壓抑而上升。 自 2015 年第一季度以來,私人投資下降了2/3,其中自疫情爆發以來下降了 25%。”

WSJ已經有人在敲美元走貶的邊鼓來鼓吹市值相對便宜的中國值得投資獲利之危機入市論了:

"Yet, China is remarkably cheap compared with the U.S. The gap between the U.S. and China valuations has only been this wide briefly in 2020 and 2021, according to MSCI data starting in 2003.

It isn’t only that China is cheap. As an emerging market, it ought to benefit if the dollar begins to weaken. Aside from anything else, a weaker dollar would help China defend the yuan, as it has been trying to do."

貿易是這次拜習會核心主題,但看起來各自家裡的選舉經或金融經都不好唸...

"Still, U.S. trade with China has been declining compared with its relationship with other APEC countries, as both nations increasingly turn to alternative partners in the Indo-Pacific and around the world. With the U.S. headed into a closely contested election next year, policy makers might feel pressure to take hawkish steps toward China. "

各方對這次拜習會都抱持觀望保留態度也許是好事,最差也就無果而返了...

"Both men will be feeling each other out about a potential conflict over Taiwan. Six months ago, American officials were regularly conducting tabletop exercises about how they might respond to an attack, or strangulating squeeze, of the island.

There is still concern, but American officials are now signaling that they believe China’s economic slowdown has bought some time, with Mr. Xi in a poor position to risk broad economic sanctions. And in recent talks with American officials, Chinese diplomats have sounded more worried about the coming elections in Taiwan — fearful that if the election fueled a move toward independence, China might be forced to act."

建立軍事通話管道還是挺重要的三戰預防機制:

"相關計畫細節仍然不明,但據稱美中協議將以美國和前蘇聯在一九八八年簽訂的「彈道飛彈發射通知協議」為架構。該協議要求兩國通知對方有關戰略飛彈發射計畫,目的在於告知即將發射的飛彈並非進行核打擊。"
