China's Economic Miracle Shattered, Financial System Constrains Growth

Logan Wright, a partner at Rhodium Group, argues in his new book "Broken China" that the People's Republic of China's economic miracle has ended due to fundamental issues within its financial system. Wright explains that the financial system, which previously fueled China's growth, now constrains it, leading to a debt trap and diminishing returns on investment. He contends that China's focus on "new industrial sectors" like EVs, AI, and robotics cannot compensate for the slowdown in property and traditional investment, leaving millions of graduates facing a jobs crisis. AI

IMPACT China's push into AI and robotics is insufficient to offset broader economic slowdowns, potentially impacting global supply chains and competition.
