China’s Conflicting Economic Policies
Commentary The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is taking contradictory economic policies that seem to make little sense: cutting rates, increasing credit, and enforcing the “zero-COVID” policy while facing mounting debt, falling currency, declining consumer demand, rising unemployment, and slowing growth.
