Why China's plan to save its economy won't work | DW Business Special

This week’s DW Business Special takes a closer look at China’s attempts to save its floundering real estate market, and asks what happened to the explosive growth the world’s second-largest economy had gotten used to enjoying. George Magnus from Oxford University’s China Centre explains why he’s not hopeful about Beijing’s plan to turn things around.

  1. China's demographic issue of a aging population is why some believe that Covid-19 was originally designed to eliminate elderly ethnic Han Chinese with medical issues. Which is why it was originally allowed to spread by the CCCP government. Only.when it became obvious that mass deaths of younger Chinese were happening that the lockdowns started.

    Supposedly some 20 million died in Wuhan in just a month and the disease wiped out whole military bases. That's the real reason behind the lock downs.

  2. George Magnus like most Western critics envious of China's growth and prosperity conveniently forget that China is a 5000> year old civilisation that has experienced many socio-economic ups and downs. In his 2022 Congress speech, Xi Jinping stated that: “We are communists and revolutionaries, therefore we must not lose our revolutionary spirit.” Xi Jinping and the CPC understand better than most if not all other governments what is required to properly look after the well being of their own people and economy first and foremost.

  3. Hard work, but do not predict China next time. I found so many rigid words, mean he knows China but do not understand China. Just read books, reports etc.
    Many elites of western worlds, especially economist, generated perfect analysis of China, so you will find China, breakdown, collapse every 3-6 monthes.
    If fact, after so many times of these report, I realized they do not know how China run and how Chinese gov operated.

  4. I really don't understand how the United States can benefit people by brainwashing the people of its own country and covering up some things. China has developed a special operations exoskeleton mecha, but the United States is still deliberately deceiving its own people.

  5. Can we get someone less academic next time. Theories are nothing without experience in executing policies… that’s why paid and old media is relatively outdated

  6. Declining ‘economic’ growth in China and production of material goods will be good for the environment. The carbon footprint for this economy and the massive exportation of goods to the rest of the world (using fossil fuels) and destruction of the environment and biodiversity is horrendous and the earlier it is curtailed the better

  7. I do not agree with George Magnus that the CCP is rigid and controlling. That is a very old-fashioned western perception. Oh My Gosh His view is so mismatched with reality, and he is a professor at Oxford ?!?!?! The CCP might set mid-term and long-term goals for the country, but every level of the govt is very responsive to changes. They hire polling companies, including western consultants, as much as any western govt. They have a finger on the pulses all the time, and they make changes more often and faster than any democracy I can think of.

  9. Because China is ruled by a oppressive Totalitarian Communist Regime that destroys the human spirit, innovation, and the creative ideas that would advance a large economy..

    The most mind blowing idea, would be if China became a full fledge “Free Market Capitalistic Society”.. They would rule the World.. Economically..

  10. Bro, they don’t care to “save the economy” they’re just numbers on a screen for the Chinese people- they’re irrelevant. The people who need to work for their society to work will be made work by the government. If need be they’ll have hundreds of millions workers ready to continue whenever need be.

    I understand the global implications of supply chains and everything that China exports but what I’m arguing is- even with the collapse of their economy in our capitalist eyes- nothing changes for them the way it would for us if we were to swap shoes.

  11. Then Don't crawling beg China save your broken neck again. Australia! As the US did via US made Financial Tsunami in 2008 world-wide. Upon China saved US's rear end, that the debased US kicking China all way around to repay the debts. You just can't help a "Pirate".

  12. I applaud to the anchor for showing she's a human being and not a robot reading from a machine behind the camera. Grade A+ and the guest was able to speak without any interference. Beautiful

  13. China made the mistake of giving investors the time to look somewhere else. Considering how it reacted who would want to go through that again? Just like investors are losing money so are the customers of those investors also looking somewhere else.

  14. USA economy model is not suitable for China, this current property crash have teach them a lesson. China will come out with the own economy model in the future, USA economy model have too many crashes all this time.
