This graph doesn't make sense seems fishy

Looks like an Anti-China US propaganda peddled via FT

If you are comparing policies under Xi, Why won't you take the entire period he was premier (2013-24)?

Business Analyst

Exactly this, according to US media, China somehow seems to do too much and too little innovation at the same time!

Reading this in India I feel "good for us" 🤔

Lead Data Scientist

Also, feel like this is US propaganda. It recently sanctioned $1.6 billion to defame china 
  
  
 Chinese philosophy is very agile. If they decide now they can turn this around in 2-3 years. Their philopshy is let the 1000 flowers bloom ( read about this). Don't fall for US propaganda

I am hearing it for very first time, it's generally government sector which suffers due to dictatorship that we have here, if government sector is booming and private sector declining, it's people's government for sure

China sb kuch state-associated chahta h, private sector if comply being associated with state then they can run and earn money else you gotta disintegrate your business and the slowly your company becomes extinct

This is a completely correct picture, even their biggies like Alibaba, Tencent etc have declined quite a bit. Some are contemplating a move of headquarters to Singapore. China's communist government is meddling with everything now. Even their real-estate sector crashed due to the government calling out for tough policy reforms on debt fueled growth.

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

- BioBay, a science park in Suzhou, is nearly deserted with many biotech start-ups having moved out or closed down.
- The venture capital industry in China has seen a dramatic decline, with start-ups founded dropping from 51,302 in 2018 to 1,202 in 2023.
- Political decisions by President Xi Jinping, including a crackdown on tech companies and anti-corruption measures, have stifled private business.
- VC firms are now focusing on lower-risk investments and demanding personal liability from founders, leading to fewer high-risk ventures.
- Many venture capitalists are looking overseas for opportunities as the domestic market continues to shrink.

China's Private Sector Suffers Under Xi Jinping's Policies- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Collapse of Chinese startup ecosystem. Cost of detaining Jack Ma will be in trillions ! Deng Xiaoping must be cursing Xi Jinping from heaven

EDianbao was started not long after Taobao’s founding in 2003, and enjoyed a surge of growth corresponding to the overall ecommerce boom in China. However, in 2020, EDianbao ran out of cash, despite earlier funding for Sequoia and many others. 

While there were probably many leadership and management issues leading to EDianbao’s shut down, the macro landscape did not help either. China's SaaS sector is a perfect illustration of the “involution”(“内卷“） that everyone is talking about in China.

Founder became monk

I geniually want to understand why we are behind in manufacturing ? Although I'm from commerce background but I would love to know how does one start manufacturing business in India ?

What type of engineers you need ? Honestly I don't have any clue but if any has some information pls discuss here.

Why is Indian manufacturing so behind compared to China ?

Autocracy vs democracy. China got to manipulate its currency for two decades at a stretch - got it pegged at 6 remnibi to usd keeping exports cheap, influenced/lobbies/spied at the highest levels in the US government for decades (look up Larry Wu Tai). This meant unbelievably high USD inflow into China for decades. Chinese nationals who emigrate to US are loyal to China, steal IPs, some are even PLA trained - look up PLA members posing as students in ivy leagues. China pays up American profs to work for them (look up collaborations of Wuhan institute of virology). Their communist background helped since most American institutions are infiltrated by communists thanks to Russia paving the way - so much that they got US to dethrone ROC (Taiwan) from UNSC. Till today, US does not recognise Taiwan as an independent nation despite the grandstanding. Not saying this is all wrong, but they played geopolitics very well over decades and got loyal, nationalistic citizens.

Support Specialist

I don’t understand what the point really was 

- companies with a bad product are still struggling 
- companies with a good product are still growing
- rent in Bangalore, Mumbai is still sky high 
- salaries are still high, people are still asking for more 
- food is expensive as ever 
- stock prices of companies that fired people never really went up 

Someone make any sense or any of this?

Layoffs were a total failure at changing anything

- China is injecting billions into tech start-ups and small companies by using intellectual property as collateral to stimulate loan demand and the economy.
- Intellectual property-pledged financing loans surged 57% in the first half of 2024, reaching Rmb419.9bn, following a 75% increase in 2023.
- The strategy aims to support innovative small companies amid a property sector slowdown and weak local government finances.
- Smaller banks are stepping in to provide loans, recognizing intellectual property as legitimate capital, despite concerns over non-performing loans.
- The policy is also aiding distressed companies in other sectors, with government incentives like interest rate subsidies encouraging banks to issue such loans.

China Boosts Lending to Tech Start-ups Using Intellectual Property as Collateral

What's the edge they have over Chinese EV cars. Elon visiting India also seems to be a desperate move to show growth

Given the latest layoff news and betting highly on robo taxies, feels like it's over for the quite arrogant leader and his company

Does Tesla really has a future?

China is ahead at AI/Robotics/Tech adoption

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

People say you can't time the market but I am curious what is the junta on Grapevine thinking about investing in the current times. 

Also where do I invest now? I have some 1L to invest that would not impact my current liquidity.
