Grant Newsham: 我认为中国经济目前面临的最大问题是外汇短缺。如果中国不能通过出口来赚取足够的外汇，就无法购买必要的资源和技术，例如澳大利亚的铁矿石和海外技术。此外，中国还需要美元来支持“一带一路”倡议。然而，中国目前拥有的外汇储备不足以支付其现有的美元债务。这导致工厂倒闭和失业率上升。更重要的是，中国仍有6亿人每天生活费不足5美元，这是一个潜在的不稳定因素。中国高层领导人及其家族积累的巨额财富是他们最担心的事情。这些财富，包括海外资产和商业利益，与国内的贫困形成鲜明对比。他们无法将这些财富的来源归咎于外部势力，这使得他们非常害怕被曝光，因为这可能引发民众的不满和反抗。
Deep Dive
China's economy faces challenges due to decreased exports impacting foreign exchange reserves needed for essential imports and Belt and Road projects. Internal instability is also a concern, given the large population living in poverty. The massive wealth accumulated by the top leadership is a significant source of worry, especially considering its potential for exposure.
- Decreased exports reduce foreign exchange reserves.
- 600 million Chinese live on $5 a day.
- Top Chinese leadership has amassed billions, much of it overseas.
