China’s $24 Trillion Problem & Why It’s ‘Extremely Vulnerable’

The Chinese is economy is running hot. Like “Careful-Something-Really-Bad-Could Happen” hot. “Since 2007, China has added about $24 trillion-worth of debt,” says Hedgeye Financials analyst Josh Steiner. That’s enormous. Here’s an example to understand just how big the problem actually is. From 2000 to 2007, “the greatest leverage run-up in global history,” Steiner says, the U.S. and Europe each added about $12 trillion in debt: “So China’s economy is about one-quarter the size of the combined economies of the U.S. and Europe, and they’ve added as much debt in the same amount of time as those two economies did in the lead up to the biggest collapse in global history.” Furthermore, China’s “credit-to-GDP gap,” defined as the difference between the credit-to-GDP ratio and its long-run trend, just hit 30%. As Steiner points out in the video above, historically countries have a protracted credit crunch when this measure breaches 10%. What does it all mean? “China is extremely vulnerable. They’ve got a tremendous amount of debt and the non-performing loans are starting to balloon,” Steiner says. Look out. (For more on this topic, visit hedgeye.com)

Do you like Chinese products? Why?

Yes, I do, but god knows why when it comes to “good Chinese products”, Chinese cuisines just popped up in my mind (probably due to the fact that China is a mecca for gourmets). And today, I really want to amaze you with a Chinese product which is on its way to sweep across the globe. Yeah, I’m talking about  Latiao ! You have no idea how Latiao has already captured the heart of our westerner friends. And these pictures can fill you in. Basically, these “Latiao-goers” are teachers in China, and personally speaking, there is little chance that one can resist its magic charm at first taste. Actually the trend of Latiao has already been reported by Xinhua, Global Times  [1] , LinkedIn and so forth. Forget about steamed buns and smelly tofu, and meet the hot new Chinese snack -- latiao! The spicy sticks that are enjoying their fifteen minutes of fame on the global palate. The cheap "delicacy" is made from gluten, the stuff that makes bread do
