stephenthinkpad posted:Personally, I don't buy this automation argument. I think calling automation "robots" is just overselling the the process of slowly increasing machine productivity. I think there is a good few decades and even generations before you convert a large factory of a random industry to a completely automatic place. I am also skeptical of Dr. Doom's argument on this. I don't see why companies that have to move out of China would move back to the US. It seems from a profit standpoint better to move to another low labor cost country like Vietnam or Indonesia. Sure you can pour money into automation, but why bother when there are still so many poor around to world to exploit? Plus less pesky profit-loss things like safety regulations that benefit the bottom line in the long term. OhFunny has issued a correction as of 07:03 on May 26, 2020 |

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:liquidity flowing into yuan assets as well as markets with close ties to china. yuan appreciates in value. i.e. the world is betting that china will lead the world out of the slump: Interesting. The fundamental change would be the yuan being allowed to appreciate beyond it's managed floating range. If we see it fall pass it's traditional floor of $1 = ¥7 without intervention like in 2015 that would a real shift.

Landslide win for the Sri Lanka Podujana Party the other day. President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has sworn in his elder brother Mahinda Rajapaksa as prime minister, finance, urban development and Buddhist affairs minister. You might recall Mahinda as the former president who strengthened ties with China and signed that port deal. Interestingly Gotabaya holds dual citizenship with the US. The eldest brother is also now the irrigation minister and a nephew is the youth and sport minister.

I don’t think they’ll be war, but I don’t see things improving with the current leadership. I have noticed the strengthening of the yuan and was wondering why that was.

Al-Saqr posted:I wonder if Biden wins will america go rushing back to sign the TPP or has that boat irrecoverably sailed. The other members just changed the name to CPTPP and dropped the provisions nobody but the US wanted and signed it. So it's there to join already. The larger geopolitical goal though was to tie the region closer economically to the USA and isolate China. That goal has failed with the expected signing of the RCEP this November.

China will improve yuan flexibility, central bank governor saysquote:SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China will seek to improve the flexibility of its yuan currency and will reduce restrictions on cross-border use of the yuan, the country’s central bank governor Yi Gang said on Saturday. I don't know if this has been brought up. Over the course of the year the yuan has strengthened greatly and comments from members of the PBOC seem to signal that policy has shifted from keeping the yuan weak to boost exports to allowing it to strengthen to boost domestic consumption and increase it's internationalization to prevent US sanctions from isolating Chinese companies financially.

China aims for moderate export expansion, no longer focuses on surplusquote:BEIJING (Reuters) - China will no longer aim at achieving trade surpluses and solely expanding exports, but will pivot to moderately expanding imports for a balance between inbound and outbound shipments, a senior official from a state-affiliated think tank said on Sunday. quote:Big exporting countries might “not be economically powerful”, as their exported products could be labour-intensive or processed using imported raw materials, Huang said. I see the push to increase worldwide use of the yuan is underway. Although I wonder how successful it will be without loosing the current capital controls in place. Asia Today: S.

There are two moves the USA can make here. The first is to put pressure on US allies not to ratify. The RCEP has been signed, but doesn't come into effect until six ASEAN and three non-ASEAN nations ratify. Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and China are the non-ASEAN nations. The US should be able to drag the ratification process out among the first four. The second move is to join the CPTPP (or just say that the US will). Japan, New Zealand, and Australia are members of it and can probably be persuaded to not ratify the RCEP if they think the US will be joining them in the CPTPP.

China's new copper futures add another card to global yuan deck Posters may recall China opening it's own yuan-denominated oil futures two years ago. There's been other international commodities contract exchanges opened, but this is the big one. The one everyone's been waiting for. China accounts for 50% of the world's copper use. If there's anywhere the yuan will challenge the dollar in the short term it's here. KaptainKrunk posted:Too much money to be made in China. Covid has made many of these countries think twice about hitching themselves to the US. Oh I dunno. Australia has followed the US into every foolish adventure these last few decades and are having a trade spate with China right now. They could be convinced. The US is still Japan's top trading partner and has territorial disputes with China. They would come along. The Prime Minsters of both nations are meeting today in fact to discuss the strengthening of their military cooperation as China grows stronger. That leaves New Zealand or South Korea to convince and the RCEP stalls out. Likely can't get South Korea onboard with Japan there, so New Zealand. Which was one of the first nations ban Huawai when the US asked them to (although they seem to have backtracked on this recently)
