Highlights from the Episode:

  • Trump's coalition now includes a powerful tech sector pushing for deregulation, while his personal corruption and susceptibility to influence could make him vulnerable to China, particularly through platforms like TikTok, with export controls serving as a key indicator of his policy stance toward Beijing.
  • Nuclear weapons have historically proven effective at preventing invasion of states that possess them.
  • China is experiencing debt deflation similar to Japan's 1990s situation, where falling prices increase the real burden of debt.
  • Xi Jinping's conservative economic views, particularly resistance to stimulus and healthcare spending, may prolong recovery.
  • Taiwan's laid-back culture and success stand in stark contrast to mainland China's approach.
  • Under Xi, China has reversed some of the liberalization that occurred under previous leaders.
