In the last year or so, "overcapacity" has become a new term in the US-China trade war, leading to straining relations between China and parts of the Global South. In this video, we're going to explain what overcapacity is and why it's such a hot topic in geopolitics.

    Regular viewers might notice that we did a video with a very similar title a few months ago. We changed the title on that video after commenters rightly pointed out that the video was 95% focused on China's new economic reforms, rather than the Global South's reaction, but we still thought the topic was worth revisiting because, in the past few weeks, 2 things have happened. First, "overcapacity" has become an increasing hot topic in global politics; and second, we've seen a slew of trade barriers erected by various Global South countries, which we detail in the video. Anyway, we hope the video better reflects the title/thumb this time around, and thank you for watching.

    There is no overcapacity. China can't even fulfil its own national demand. "Overcapacity" is a Western propaganda myth (just like 99% of all other negative things the West ever said about socialist countries). The real reason "nobody wants" China's products (everyone wants China's products except the dictators of Western anti-democratic regimes) is because the collective West's elites require capitalism to persist... but when people wake up to the fact that China's system is better and offers better goods and services at a lower price and faster pace, they will realize that capitalism is bad and demand China's system.

    West, USA and Europe should stop all Chinese trade - in the long run you pay with your lives for supporting China with trade. Everything you will earn with China you will lose when China supports Putin's invasion of Europe and USA. Europe is already threatened and is forced to quadruple it's military budget, the same with USA. China's support of Iran and Russia have destroyed global peace and security and will cost us tens of trillions of dollars of additional military expenditures and perhaps a few hundred million lives lost in a future war. The whole concept of global trade with totalitarian hellholes is inherently flawed because all the benefits are temporary and the risks are truly existential. West should totally isolate from Russia and China and live well without Chinese products and Chinese spies in our cities

    Tariffs are a tool. A dangerous tool. It is a short term band aid, but left on too long can hurt yourself. A good example is the US steel tariffs. It failed to save the US steel industry, and contributed to the devastation of it's shipbuilding industry, and is now hurting it's automotive industry. Managing the economy of an entire country so big is a very complicated and difficult task. And easy to screw up. Why are Chinese EVs today so cheap compared to American ones? Why does the US find it impossible to match China on price? It is easy to make accusations of dumping. But China isn't losing money on every car they export. It would be stupid for them to do so. But more importantly, I don't see a problem with us taking those cars. We will subsidize our manufacturers a little, keeping them alive, but with most of the manufacturing capacity mothballed, and we take those Chinese EVs in the meantime. If they stop the subsidy and raise prices, then we restart our local industry. If the US want to subsidize cotton and corn farmers and produce an oversupply, so much it cannot consume it all domestically, and have to export, other countries will take them gladly, and tell their own farmers to grow something else.

    Although I agree it's best if we produce locally, export our strengths and import to make up for what we don't have, it just seems like a pipe dream. One general thing I see is that overall, developing countries are in effect willing to work harder to manufacture, while developed western countries just want to sit in an office. There could be many reasons, but one reason is that developing countries, in practice, have far less worker protections in place compared to developed countries leading to cheap labor. This is "good" for developed countries because at least it's not happening in their country. Developed countries might have laws in place to prevent importing goods that they believe are produced with unfair labor, but this feels largely virtuous as the market seems to find a way around it anyway. It's like we have stop buying the next iphone, or produce it locally so we can't afford it anyway.

One partner needs high gas prices to make their gas exports more lucrative (and to fund a war), the other wants them low to stimulate a flailing post-COVID economy. One partner wants to destroy the American economy for nationalistic purposes (and to end a war), the other wants to preserve the American economy for trade and market access.... no one is on the same page, so nothing can be done.

IMO everyone should take their agriculture seriously and invest in the domestic market to make sure starvation is prevented. Cars are a different thing. People can live without them if necessary.

    It's important to balance your imports and exports, but it's also important to have global trade and the competition it brings. Mixing a small tariff on imports and subsidising your own production would be better than these massive tariffs. Another option could be to allow the Chinese companies to make factories in your country with local workers.

    Claiming that Chinese workers are not paid enough as to consume more import goods is a fallacy. That could have been true 20 or 30 years ago, but the purchasing power of Chinese consumers has increased significantly over the last few years. A proof of that is the fact that China is the biggest market for hi-end brands like Apple, accounting for their 30% total revenues (let's agree that Apple products are not precisely cheap, but curiously Chinese consumers can afford them), it is becoming an increasing and interesting market for luxury goods, including super luxury sport cars, luxury apparel, and other goods, and it is the main market every foreign producer wants to sell to. The so claimed "overcapacity" of China is due to the fact that it is a 1.4 billion people country that has well invested in educating its population and has taken them out of extreme poverty through an unparalleled industrialization process, largely supported by Western companies that moved their production facilities there due to the investor-friendly environment the Chinese government created to attract foreign investment and the low-cost labor force (at that time, not now). Today, China has not only became a producer of practically all kinds of manufactured goods you can imagine, but it is also extremely efficient in its supply chains and logistic processes, and that's why it has maintained its leading position as to top 1 manufacturer in the world. In simple words, they have the capacity to produce more than the world can demand due to their efficiencies, and they buy less from foreign countries basically because the other countries altogether have no enough capacity to produce what China demands, due to their inefficiencies. China alone produced 30 million cars in 2023, more than what the US, Japan, India, and South Korea -- the next 4 main world car producers in 2023 -- produced altogether that same year. The US, the second largest car producer in the world, only produced 10 million cars, one third of what China is capable of producing. And that production not only include Chinese brands, but also European, Japanese, Korean, and even American brands that produce some of their models in China. Why? Because China is more efficient and can achieve lower production times with lower costs without comprising their manufacturing standards.

But EVERYONE knew what the Chinese Online Stores were doing was Tax Evasion and Contraband. The scheme worked flooding the Brazilian Customs with so many small packages, the Customs wasn't able to check everything to apply proper tax and fines.

    It’s doesn’t make sense because the global south is everyone literally everywhere but the west including Australia and new Zealand which are the most southern countries not to mention that Russia will be considered western allies by this term which they are certainly not

    Could someone tell me what the exact definition of overcapacity is in economics? Because I have only seen so many discussions on vague overcapacity issues without giving a definition or mathematical formula to convince the public?

    No matter how protectionist trying hard to justify its protectionist policy, it is still a protectionist policy. With the same argument, France should not export its wine, Australia should not export wine its beef, Switzerland should not export its watch, Japan and Germany should not export their cars, USA should not export its soya bean, aeroplane, etc to China and other countries; France, Germany, Uk and Spain should keep all your airbus, the list go on and on

    Another reason for the overcapacity is the failure of the expected Chinese Recovery from post COVID and thus a lack of demand from within China. Bogged down by the property market issues and oversupply of educated young workers resulting in which peaked at 20% last year and was "redefined" by the CCP as 15%.

    This is laughable. The US and the West, which don't produce much and rely on printing currency in exchange for real goods produced in the global South, complain that China produces too much, inventing the oxymoron term "overcapacity." In reality, they should be talking about the global North's parasitic undercapacity while enjoying lavish unearned wealth through reserve currency, the Petrodollar, financial neo-colonialism, and uneven exchange. How about developing their own production capacity and internalizing depletion of natural resources, pollution, and real cost of labor instead? The FREE TRADE was working fine for the West as long as its multinational corporations could come and destroy local economies and until China became a competitor. Now, they are installing 100% tariffs, precluding access to the resources, and waging economic war - because the West can't compete at anything but the parasitic financial Wall Street and Real Estate. Stop spending a trillion dollar per year on military and spying, stop invading, bombing, sanctioning, killing, starting, stop feeding the oligarchy, start funding domestic social programs, start producing. Pittiful mouthpiece of the oligarchy.

    Wish I could give this more likes. I think most Europeans are under the impression the global South like their governments when the reality is so much different. The global South would rather deal with China than the US.
