Why does China need to prevent 'involute' vicious competition?
Episode 1
Friday, August 30, 2024 • Duration 06:48
'Involution' and 'vicious competition' have been cited by the Chinese Government for the first time as threat to the country's high tech and new energy export sectors. What does this mean? And why should we care?
Timothy Pope has been a journalist for more than 15 years, and has spent the last decade in China's financial capital, Shanghai. In that time he's been a business reporter and anchor for International Channel Shanghai (ICS) and is now Financal Correspondent for SMG International and CGTN.
During that time he's covered the major stories which have shaped the Chinese economy and business landscape. He's interviewed local and global business leaders, regulators, officials and analysts to try and explain how these complex issues affect us all.

EV TARIFFS: DO EUROPE'S NEW TRADE BARRIERS MAKE SENSE?
Episode 2
Monday, August 5, 2024 • Duration 05:53
Tim explores how the world's been discussing the issue of China's electric vehicle dominance. How fair is the reporting, and what does the data tell us about how effective the EU's tariffs will be? The EU move seems less driven by ideology, while the US tariffs seem designed to send a specific signal, one that doesn't have much to do with preventing catastrophic climate change, or even protecting industry.

CHINESE PREMIER LI QIANG TALKS ECONOMY AND AI AT DAVOS 2024
李强在达沃斯世界经济论坛发表特别致辞
Hi - I'm Tim Pope. This is China Buzzwords. Continuing our look at the 2024 World Economic Forum in Davos - which attracts the rich and powerful from around the world.
China's Premier Li Qiang is there this year leading a pretty big delegation. He's the most high profile Chinese leader to visit the WEF since President Xi Jinping went in 2017. And a lot of people are keen to talk to and hear from Li Qiang this year because China's economic recovery is on the ropes, and also because China is seen as key to helping facilitate an end to the current major conflicts.
In his speech to the forum today, Li touched on the Chinese economy, saying GDP growth for 2023 is expected to be 5.2 percent -- a little above the government's target. And he got a little poetic.
A European friend once told me that to appreciate the grandeur of the Alps, one must broaden their perspective and look into the distance. Similarly, understanding the Chinese economy requires a panoramic view and in-depth observation. Only by opening up a comprehensive perspective can one achieve objectivity, comprehend the entirety and the overall picture, and truly understand the current state and long-term trends of the Chinese economy.

Hi andwelcome to another China Buzzwords - I'm Timothy Pope.
嗨，欢迎收看China Buzzwords，我是Timothy Pope
The 54thWorld Economic Forum is getting under way in the luxurious Swiss ski resort ofDavos. And we're going to bring you a couple of videos this week examining thisannual event.
The themeof this year's WEF is 'Rebuilding Trust'. It's an interesting theme since manyof those attending are the ones whose trust rating among ordinary people hasplunged so sharply in recent years. Trust in leaders who have presided overslowing global growth. Trust in billionaires perceived as exploiting andexpanding global inequality. Trust that both these groups can work together tomake the future better for everyone.
Securingeconomic growth has always been one of the WEF's aims, but it says it'slaunching a campaign to balance growth with social and environmental prioritiestoo. One of the forum's recent studies of 107 global economies found that mostof them are not growing in socially inclusive or environmentally sustainableways. It's also identified misinformation and disinformation【虚假信息】as the most severe global risk in the shortterm as it's been the most significant factor in the erosion of public trust.

BYD BECOMES TOP SELLING EV MAKER, TAKING TESLA'S CROWN
比亚迪夺得全球新能源车销冠
BYD has claimed the title of World's Best-Selling EV maker in a hard-fought battle with Tesla.
比亚迪在与特斯拉的激烈竞争中夺得了全球最畅销电动汽车制造商的称号。
Now that 2023 results are in for both companies we can see just how fierce a race it was. Both companies beat analyst estimates for the numbers of EVs they sold in the final three months of last year, and both benefitted from cutting prices on their vehicles in a bid to grab market share.
Let's look at the numbers first. BYD sold a little over 3 million vehicles last year -- mostly in China. More than half were pure electric, and the rest were plug-in hybrid EVs. That puts annual sales up by 62 percent compared to 2022.
So how did BYD overtake Tesla before the year-end finish line?
那么，比亚迪是如何在年底前超越特斯拉的呢？
Partly it's the price war which has been going on in the EV sector -- particularly here in China -- for the last 12 months. Tesla started it last January by slashing【大量削减】prices on several models and every other automaker followed suit.

2024 STILL FEELS LIKE 2023 WITH LOWINVESTOR SENTIMENT
2024年仍然像2023年，投资者情绪低迷
The first trading week of the new yearhasn't exactly been great. Chinese Mainland markets continued to trade lower asinvestors wait for sentiment to recover. But even the better looking data wesaw this week for China's services sector wasn't enough to get things moving.The Shanghai Composite Index was down 0.9 percent on Friday and theShenzhen Component was off more than 1 percent.
The vast bulk of sectors were downtoday led by losses for tech, healthcare and industrials; while financialstocks just about broke even.
今天绝大多数板块下跌，科技、医疗保健和工业板块领跌；而金融股几乎实现盈亏平衡。
Investors are also still waiting to see anyserious payoff from the launch of the new CSI A50 index on Tuesday. This is asmaller, more select index of blue chip stocks than the CSI 300, but it's alsofar more diverse in terms of the kinds of sectors it covers. And whilethere's been strong early interest from funds looking to set up ETFs trackingthe A50, that's going to take a while to translate into gains, and the index isending its maiden week down more than 3 percent.
There was a bit of gloom on other regionalmarkets today now that investors feel sharp and quick US Fed rate cuts are lesslikely. That obsession with when rate cuts will begin also makes the release ofUS jobs data tonight a big event for the markets. But on the whole, fewertraders now think there'll be cuts by March, and that dented growth stocksaround the region. The Hang Seng was 0.7 percent lower at the close.

CHINA’S NEW STOCK INDEX CAUSES ETF EXCITEMENT
中国新股指数引发ETF热议
The Shanghai Composite Index was one of the few Asian markets to inch higher today as a general sense of gloom persists among equity investors. It managed to climb a bit less than a fifth of one percent, while the Shenzhen Component declined three quarters of a percent. Investors are still waiting for signs of a solid economic recovery, according to market watchers.
One thing getting a lot of interest was the new index launched yesterday for Chinese A-shares -- the CSI A50 Index. This tracks some of the most well-known companies on the mainland markets, but unlike the CSI 300, doesn't include so many from traditional industries. It's being billed as better representing the modern Chinese economy, and the sectors the government wants to focus on. We have some expected big names on the index including China's most expensive stock - the liquor maker Kweichow Moutai. There's also the electric vehicle battery maker CATL, security system maker Hikvision, Ping'An Insurance, and the drug maker Wuxi Apptec.
According to the regulators, they've received applications from at least seven mutual funds wanting to create ETFs tracking the A50 in the first 24 hours after its launch.... the A50 itself closed today a little lower however.
Automaker BYD -- also on the A50 by the way -- edged higher after being confirmed as the top selling maker of pure electric vehicles in the world - knocking Tesla off its pedestal. BYD shares rose a third of one percent, and financial journal Yicai has reported the company is planning big cash bonuses to Chinese car dealerships for hitting sales targets... bonuses that are expected to total 2 billion yuan.

MARKETSSTART 2024 LOWER AFTER MIXED DATA
2024年股市开局走低，数据好坏参半
The markets came back to trade for 2024with a couple of conflicting sets of data to digest【消化】. The first was the official manufacturing sector PMI, which wasreleased at the weekend, and Caixin's private survey of the sector which cameout this morning. Both focus on different portions of the industry - theofficial figures look at larger state-owned firms and the Caixin PMI coversmedium and smaller sized private firms. The official PMI showed the sectorshrinking at a faster pace in December, while the Caixin numbers pointed tomore orders and a faster expansion for the private sector. But with businessconfidence still lacking the markets fell today. The Shanghai Composite Indexshed 0.4 percent while the Shenzhen Component was 1.3 percent lower.
There were losses for tech, consumer, real estate,healthcare and financial stocks.
科技股、消费股、房地产股、医疗保健股和金融股均下跌。
Automaker BYD also declined despite thelatest sales numbers that show it likely to overtake Tesla as the world'sbiggest seller of pure electric vehicles. BYD posted a 62 percent jump in 2023sales -- with a record 526 thousand pure EVs sold in the fourth quarter of theyear alone. If Tesla wants to keep the crown【王冠】, it's going toneed similarly strong sales in the fourth quarter... well ahead of whatanalysts are expecting.

1.56 MLN DAILY CROSS-BORDER TRIPSEXPECTED DURING NEW YEAR HOLIDAY
元旦假期预计每日跨境旅行156万人次
The National Immigration Administrationestimated that an average of 1.56 million trips will be made in and out of theChinese mainland each day over the 2024 New Year holiday, five times more thanlast year. Zhang Hong tells us more.
According to travel agency websiteQunar.com, popular destinations include Harbin, Koktokay geopark in Xinjiang,and Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia. B&B bookings in Harbin are 27 times higherthan the same period last year, when COVID-19 was sweeping across the country.Inbound trips have also increased. Data from Ctrip.com shows that bookings byinbound tourists increased more than 200% compared to the same period in2019.
Some travelers started their trip today atBeijing Capital International Airport.

China's also going to be key to determining global attitudes to AI governance. Making sure AI is a force for good. Li said the technology should not be used to contain countries; and that it's important to make sure it's being used ethically.
The World AI Conference has set up two expert committees, one is focusing on the strategic planning, and the other is for AI ethics, which means that on the one hand, it is important to focus on development, and on the other hand, it is important to focus on governance, and it is necessary to use it well, but also to manage it well.
And the stakes for getting AI governance right are high. The International Monetary Fund released a report on Tuesday - timed to coincide with Davos. It concludes that 40 percent of jobs around the world will be impacted by AI ... in some cases jobs will change, but some jobs will be entirely replaced. Emerging markets low-income economies meanwhile, will struggle to reap the benefits of the new technology, potentially widening the global equality gap.
We'll be continuing our coverage of the World Economic Forum for the rest of the week. My colleagues in Davos have got some great interviews and perspectives on the ground in snowy Switzerland - so make sure you check those out too. See you next time.
The WEF-- the people at the top of global society -- seems to be acknowledging thatthey need to rebuild the public's trust that they're still a force willing andcapable of making the world a better place.
Anotherthing that's going to be up for plenty of discussion is economic and monetarypolicy. Financial markets remain completely obsessed with interest rates, andwhen major central banks like the US Fed and the ECB might start to bring themdown. Many consider this a key step towards shifting back to global growth.
Therewill also be sideline meetings trying to deal with issues ranging from the conflicts in Gazaand Ukraine. With high-level delegations【代表团】 from China, the United States, Ukraine, Israel and several MiddleEastern countries, discussions on these wars are going to loom large over thewhole forum.
But noteverything that happens at Davos is high-minded and idealistic. There are fancydinners and lavish【奢华的】parties that most people can't getinto. And a lot of people are there to make money and do deals. Either fortheir company or their country. Government representatives want to attractinvestment, businesses want opportunities to grow and boost their profits; andwe will see many deals inked this week.
Staytuned as the World Economic Forum continues this week. We'll break down andexplain it for you here, and do check out coverage by other SMG Internationalreporters who are in Davos for the conference - they're going to have somegreat stories and interviews for you too.
But it quickly became obvious that Tesla wasn't going to win that price war. Even with generous discounts, its cars are just more expensive. Each model is a premium product. And while BYD has high-end models of its own, it also has cheaper ones. And with most of the world dealing with high interest rates, a cheaper car, which requires a smaller loan from the bank, can look at lot more attractive. And some analysts have said that tax credits in the US may have pushed some Tesla-buyers to get their cars in 2023 instead of 2024.
BYD is also just a generally better recognised brand these days. Tesla might still be a by-word for pure electric cars, but all over the world, more and more BYDs are popping up on the roads. For big chunks of last year BYD models were the best-selling EVs in Thailand, Israel, New Zealand and Singapore. During a trip back to Australia recently, I was shocked when my family started discussing the brand over Christmas dinner.
That aside, BYD's position on top of the EV market right now is still due to sales here in China. Roughly 90 percent of its cars are made and sold here where its market share jumped from 21 to 27 percent this year. According to the China Passenger Car Association, Tesla's market share in China is 12 percent.
The two also have very different sales strategies. BYD is quite traditional: selling through dealerships【经销公司】. In fact BYD has said it's going to be paying out a total of 2 billion yuan in bonuses to Chinese dealerships this year for meeting their sales targets.
Tesla does things differently. If you want to buy one, you can only buy it from Tesla. And their staff seem to do a much better job of selling the product. According to data from China Merchants Bank, in China, Tesla sells more than twice as many cars per store as BYD does. BYD just has considerably more stores.
BYD's China-centered dominance【主导地位】could start to shift once the company gets planned European factories up and running. There's also the risk the EU could raise the currently low tariffs on imported Chinese EVs.
But the electric vehicle industry is still a growing one -- one in which both BYD and Tesla have left traditional automakers far behind......
但电动汽车行业仍在不断发展壮大，比亚迪和特斯拉已经把传统汽车制造商远远甩在了后面......
Oh.. and in case you're wondering, there's one number that Tesla didn't give us yet... sales numbers for its new Cybertruck. The design of this truck might politely be described as "unique" ... so the silence on those sales numbers probably tells us all we need to know.
Alibaba, Lenovo, chip maker SMIC ... alltraded down in Hong Kong. Energy stocks provided a little relief as oil pricesclimbed, with CNOOC and PetroChina among the leading gainers.
Japan provided a bit of a contrast today asthe Nikkei 225 rose a quarter of one percent. That was due almost entirely to aweaker yen boosting exporter stocks. As usual that means gains forJapanese automakers - Toyota rose 2.5 percent, but there were gains for banksand brokerages as well.
More broadly, Asian stock markets were pretty grim on Wednesday as hopes faded of deep and early cuts to interest rates by the US Federal Reserve. The markets are waiting on both the latest Fed minutes and US jobs data. But that prompted a slide in tech stocks, which left the Hang Seng 0.9 percent lower. PC maker Lenovo was down 4.5 percent.
But there was some reprieve for Chinese video game stocks after reported personnel changes at the Chinese gaming regulator. New proposed rules designed to reduce spending on video games had sent the sector into a bit of a spin, but gaming giant Tencent rose 1.3 percent while rival Netease was up almost 1 percent.
The tech-inspired market slide today was felt heavily in South Korea too, where the KOSPI 200 shed 2.6 percent -- the biggest fall for that index since late October. Shares in Samsung Electronic were down 3.3 percent.

The national weather observatory today renewed an orange alert for thick fog in some parts of the country,including the provinces of Anhui and Jiangsu. In Shanghai, visibility wasreduced to less than 200 meters this morning. Zhang Yue has the story.
Shanghai's Meteorological Bureauissued a yellow alert for heavy fog at 8:30pm yesterday. The city's emergencymanagement bureau reminded local departments to prepare response teams for thefoggy weather.
Drivers on the Outer Ring Road were seendriving at slower speeds during this morning's rush hours. On sections ofhighway bordering Zhejiang, police from both jurisdictions ensured trafficsafety.
We had about a third more traffic policeofficers on duty today during the foggy weather. We reduced the speed limit onthe expressway according to visibility.
About 60 flights were delayed at ShanghaiHongqiao International Airport this morning due to poor visibility amid thefog. Arrivals and departures were not affected at Shanghai Pudong InternationalAirport. The orange alert for thick fog remains in effect for Baoshan District,while a yellow alert continues for Chongming Island.
