Beijing is poised to unveil a substantial economic stimulus package, potentially reaching trillions of yuan, as the government seeks to reinvigorate its flagging economy. Analysts anticipate the announcement this weekend, with estimates ranging from 2 to 10 trillion yuan (1.4 trillion).
The package is expected to target domestic demand, bank recapitalization, and local government debt restructuring. Consumer-focused measures may include social welfare spending and trade-in programs, aiming to boost household spending.
While some experts argue for a bold 10 trillion yuan injection to combat deflation and restore investor confidence, others predict a more modest approach. The government may opt for phased announcements to avoid signaling severe economic issues.
The timing is crucial, with the finance ministry facing high expectations to deliver a convincing plan. Forward guidance for 2025 policies is anticipated, though specific details may emerge later at the National People's Congress standing committee meeting.
Wow, does that mean their economy is floundering? But the data they publish show it is going strong.... Such a weird contradiction.

We are living in the 21st century Cold War... narratives of the fourth power at the service of large states. I'm always suspicious of everything!

That CNBC screengrab is so telling. Investors want the money supply to increase so that the assets they’ve bought will go up in price. What a circus!
