Can the U.S. Decouple from China Without Paying the Price?

As the U.S. accelerates efforts to decouple from China, the global economy stands at a crossroads. Can the U.S. truly reduce its reliance on Chinese manufacturing and supply chains without significantly raising costs for businesses and consumers?

China is already grappling with significant domestic challenges: a local debt crisis and a property market in turmoil. However, the looming impact of heightened tariffs presents an even graver concern. While many investors remain optimistic about Chinese stocks—betting on a "bazooka" stimulus from Beijing to revitalize the economy—it’s vital to consider the broader risks, particularly political ones. Stocks like Alibaba and JD have reported solid profits with low price-to-earnings ratios, and major Chinese banks such as Bank of China and Ping An Bank offer appealing dividends and seem fundamentally robust. However, this perspective often overlooks the risks posed by geopolitical tensions and

Chinese stocks may have more upside than consensus thinks

Trumphoria is gripping markets — everyone expects a repeat of the 2016 bull run when Trump first got elected.All the obvious beneficiaries of a Trump presidency have been rallying, while some of the obvious losers have been punished.Conventional wisdom says one “obvious loser“ (i.e. China A-Shares) will suffer under the second coming of Trump, with the prospect of more tariffs, trade-wars, and tough negotiations hanging overhead.The logic is that trade war 2.0 risk and a generally hawkish geopolitical tone across the incoming Trump administration will present further challenges for an already ailing Chinese economy.And there’s probably some truth in that — it’s going to be: not-boring.As things stand right now, China is in the middle of its worst property downturn on record, local governme
