China bets they have beaten the pandemic : Comments

By Michael Knox, published 5/5/2020

The Chinese economy is almost back to full production, based on the view that they have already overcome the pandemic.

Like them or not, is it possible that China could soon be part of Australia's (and NZ's) re-opened supply chains (plus tourism, education, etc.), along with Taiwan and South Korea ? And as other countries become relatively clear of the Coronavirus, they can join up with that economic zone ?

Of course, countries with far less competent administrations, such as the UK and the US, will still be outside that healthy and active economic zone perhaps well into next year.

What they want us to know and the facts, may be two very different stories?

I can believe that the leadership values human life so cheaply as to be able to spend 15 or more million? If that suits long term ambitions or the preferred political narrative!

As for ramped up manufacturing? Judge it by the smog index! And the volume of raw imports, i.e., iron ore and metallurgical and thermal coal?

Other than that, trust but watch!

Who to believe on COVID spread and deaths in China ? :

- Xi's Communist Party

- or what may be a Trump mouthpiece, the Washington, D.C. based American Enterprise Institute, which pushes a democratic capitalism, limited government, private enterprise agenda. The AEI is closely associated with conservatism and neo-conservatism, although it is officially non-partisan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Enterprise_Institute .

You can bet your bottom dollar that the CCP will be doing its level best to make the most of the crippling results their virus have had on the rest of the world.

I wouldn't put any money on our own mutts.

Previously electricity consumption was a good parameter for economic
production. However it was used to a large extent by finance writers
so the Chinese now probably being aware will fiddle the consumption figures.
However the smog index would be good for heavy industry and hard to fiddle.
Perhaps traffic analysis in industrial areas by satellite might be useful.

LOUDmouth,

You speak like a true believer of the one belt one road initiative.

For myself I want to know if China is prepared to compensate the rest pf the world for the damage and loss of life its Wuhan bat soup virus has caused.
