›What is happening with China Economic Slowdown?
Property deleveraging, deflation, and demographic decline entrench structural slowdown as Beijing leans on exports and stimulus. China's growth model is straining under a multi-year property downturn, persistent deflationary pressure, weak domestic demand, and a shrinking, aging workforce. Beijing counters with targeted stimulus, industrial-policy export surges, and rate cuts, but confidence, local-government debt, and youth unemployment remain drags. The demographic cliff — deaths outpacing births since 2022 — compounds the long-run drag on productivity and consumption.
