China's Economic Model Exposed: Flaws and Slowdown at Ground Level

Veteran investor David Roche believes that China's economic model is "washed up on the beach" and will not experience a revival, which will have significant implications for global markets. Despite recent stock market rallies, concerns are growing over the potential ripple effect of a prolonged slowdown in China. The country's economic growth has been fueled by contributions from property and manufacturing, but these sectors are now diminishing. Roche warns that economies reliant on manufacturing will struggle to generate meaningful growth, leading to social unrest and geopolitical problems. He also highlights the need for developed markets to squeeze profit margins to bring down inflation sustainably. Roche recommends investors accumulate U.S. Treasuries and safe haven assets.
