“We need more tech neutrality and a European preference”

Though Macron seemed to relish his rock-star reception by screaming students at Sichuan University, his central message was of mounting fear in European capitals that China’s export-driven economic model poses an existential threat to their own industries.

“These imbalances are becoming unbearable,” Macron said at a joint appearance with Xi in Beijing on Thursday.

 “We need more tech neutrality and a European preference” for domestic industries such as automobiles, Macron said 

“This is not at all aggressive or protectionist. The Americans and other players in the North American market do it, the Chinese do it,” the president said. “The major risk for Europeans is accelerated deindustrialisation.”

Europa i skottgluggen när Kina exportrusarGlöm tullkriget. Kinas exportmaskin når rekordnivåer. Och för Europa är risken att den nya vågen av Kinaprylar bara har börjat.

Kina på vägen mot industriell och teknisk dominans

En del av målsättningarna för industripolitiken sträcker sig fram till 2049 – hundraårsjubileet av Folkrepubliken Kinas grundande då kommunistpartiets främsta politiska mål, ”den kinesiska nationens stora renässans”, ska vara uppnådd. 

Vad ska vi då göra åt saken? Kan vi satsa på att komma i kapp Kina, eller ska vi i stället försöka skydda oss mot kinesisk konkurrens? Kan vi göra både och?

Pfizer in 2019 sold $20 billion of drugs in the U.S. Its federal tax bill? Zero; Ireland

Trump has already singled out pharma companies and countries like Ireland that reap the benefits of tax-avoidance moves.  Despite its small size, Ireland ran an $87 billion trade surplus with the U.S. last year—larger than any country except China, Mexico and Vietnam. https://www.wsj.com/health/pharma/how-trumps-tariffs-could-upend-pharmas-overseas-tax-strategy-5b8ca758 Is Ireland vulnerable again as the world’s vast shadow banking system starts to crack? Shadow banking is the dog that has not barked during the latest global spasm of financial stress. This is very fortunate, especially for small countries such as Ireland that have bet the farm on this industry. https://englundmacro.blogspot.com/2023/04/is-ireland-vulnerable-again-as-worlds.html Cayman Islands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayman_Islands What the heck is happening in the Cayman Islands?

The breakdown of monetarism During the past decade, the links between economic activity, inflation, and monetary policy that were taken for granted in the 1980s and 1990s have completely broken down.  The pre-crisis dogma that inflation “is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon” has turned out to be nonsense, at least for advanced economies, where central banks have printed money like wallpaper without any inflationary response.
