updates: China's Vice-Finance Minister Liao Min defends China's manufacturing capacity, stating that it helps fight climate change and contain inflation. He pushes back against US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's criticism of China's industrial excess. Liao argues that China has been a force of disinflation for the world through its supply of manufactured products and is now providing green goods to help countries achieve their carbon reduction goals. He cites estimates by the International Energy Agency that global demand for new energy cars will be 45 million to 75 million units by 2030, far exceeding the world's current supply capacity. China is facing rising trade barriers in developed economies, such as the US and EU, due to excess output. Liao emphasizes the importance of communication and respecting the rules of the market economy in addressing concerns about overcapacity. He also states that government subsidies are not the main reason for China's competitive advantages in industries like renewable energy, but rather factors like corporate investment in research and development, entrepreneurship, and technological innovation. Liao argues that some countries were left behind in developing electric vehicles (EVs) because they focused on the conventional auto sector and lacked advantages in the traditional car market. He believes that demand-supply disequilibrium is natural in a market economy and that market forces will determine the success of investment decisions. Liao mentions previous investment frenzies in sectors like information technology, shale gas, and biopharmaceuticals that resulted in periodic excess capacity in developed countries.

Version 0.87 (2024-07-11 02:55:33.846000)
updates: China's internal imbalances and Xi Jinping's assertive geopolitical ambitions have led to increasing overcapacity in strategically sensitive industries and trade tensions around the world. China's manufacturing industry has significant levels of overcapacity, with low utilization rates in sectors like solar, electric vehicles, and semiconductors. China is trying to export its excess capacity, leading to an expanding protectionist backlash from trading partners. Rising export volumes, falling export values, falling utilization rates, increasing losses, and high levels of government financial support indicate pernicious levels of overcapacity in China. Trade barriers are being erected to protect industries in the US, Europe, and other economies. China needs to boost domestic consumption and shift its strategies to avoid further backlash and protect its industries and economy.

Version 0.8 (2024-07-10 03:54:47.150000)
updates: The US-China trade war is set to escalate with the announcement by the Biden administration that it will quadruple tariffs on electric vehicles, double tariffs on solar panels, and nearly triple tariffs on Chinese-made steel and aluminum products. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited China and criticized China's industrial overcapacity, which they see as a threat to American manufacturers and the global economy. China's excess capacity is the result of a highly protectionist policy and massive financial aid by the Chinese government to its manufacturers. The Chinese side believes that the US is using the idea of excess capacity to suppress the development of China's emerging industries and maintain the declining monopoly position of the US in the global industrial chain. The US claims that the bankruptcy of American companies is due to the influx of cheap Chinese products, but Chinese electric vehicles have been excluded from the US market thanks to tariffs. The US also faces resistance in building its own electric vehicle manufacturing infrastructure. The term 'excess capacity' has emerged as a strategic tool to manage and balance China's influence while safeguarding the existing power dynamics in the international arena. The Biden administration aims to comprehensively contain China and restore stability to the waning liberal international order. Both major candidates for the U.S. presidential election in November seem to be competing with each other to impose U.S. tariffs against China. Donald Trump set off a 'trade war' with China in 2018 by levying tariffs of up to 25 percent on Chinese imports, and Joe Biden has kept those tariffs in place. Economists have raised objections to these tariffs, but the discussion of tariffs as a strictly economic issue indicates a failure to come to grips with a national emergency. The United States is dangerously economically over-dependent on China, its most serious potential adversary. Tariffs could be part of the solution to address this situation. The rationale for tariffs against China is mainly focused on giving U.S. businesses a fair chance to compete, rather than national security. However, to effectively uphold national security, the United States needs to restrict China's access to strategically vital emerging technologies and rebuild its own manufacturing capacity. Maximizing economic efficiency will not deliver national security. The U.S. defense industrial base has been hollowed out to the extent that it cannot build equipment or munitions quickly enough to sustain a major war. The United States needs to avoid economic vulnerability to China, as Beijing routinely exploits its economic leverage to extract political concessions from other governments. The COVID-19 pandemic has also highlighted the cost of economic dependence on China. The United States should strive to ensure superiority in crucial emerging technologies and rebuild its manufacturing prowess to avoid dependence on China for all supplies important to the nation's well-being. Smart tariffs should be part of the effort to create a temporary breathing space for U.S. industries trying to build themselves into major players. Total economic decoupling from China is not realistic or desirable, but national economic policy demands extensive 'de-risking' driven by security considerations. Although tariffs entail a cost to society, they are necessary to avoid higher future costs to the United States' ability to prosper and protect itself. [5dec8133]

updates: The article discusses the impact of President Biden's tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) and its effect on America's green future. The author argues that these tariffs are counterproductive and hinder the growth of the EV industry in the United States. The article highlights that the tariffs will increase the cost of EVs for American consumers and slow down the adoption of clean energy transportation. It also mentions that the tariffs could lead to retaliatory measures from China, affecting American automakers. The author suggests that instead of imposing tariffs, the United States should focus on investing in domestic EV production and infrastructure to promote a sustainable and green future.
