Solar panels, Lithium batteries, and BEV, are parts of China's strategy to manage their air pollution problem. We haven't heard much about that problem lately, though. But I doubt that it has gone away. They are also working on more clean energy production. China is systematically working on their own problem areas. In this they are somewhat different from other countries. The US, though, sees everything as aimed at them! And they are systematically dismantling free markets with sanctions and subsidies to their own few remaining industries. They are not the liberal, or free market country they still clame to adhere to, if they ever was. I remember their constantly avoidance of competition for their steel industry, long ago. That led to their "rust belt", perhaps showing the long-term effect of not allowing competition on an open free market. And that competition weren't even from China at that time!

"follow our orders on Russia or we might have to hurt your banks" ... I'm sure the Chinese were polite to Yellen but also happy to see her plane leaving the airport.

US increases trade with Mexico while China increases trade with Mexico. The US isn't really decoupling at all.

They cannot afford to not to, because, face it, how many countries are as heavily populated, or bigger in size (read, natural resources), technological capability as the US? But that the US also tries to treat China as one of those countries will be a big mistake. But arrogance win over reality (so far). The US will learn only when it is too late. Unfortunately, they will then resort to real blackmail and hot war, to the detriment of everybody. So let's brace ourselves because the US will not back down out of free will.

1990 capitalism though it destroyed the communism, but now the situation has reversed. By the way I dont like communist ideology.

In the 90s, American corporations exported their production capacity to China. A decision that has not aged well.

That's because they were intoxicated by economic ideology that claimed there were no possible repercussions from this. Economics is mainly ideology -- certainly NOT a science. And of course they made money doing this and were encouraged by politicians who also made money ... but now whining that China "stole" the jobs. No. You gave them the jobs. 😂

The real overcapacity is US$ 😂

Ms Lena is so totally a sensible a person. Its so gratifying to have someone like her to listen to.

US cannot help lecturing when visiting countries even if that country happens to be their largest trading partner. Peace

Maybe there is a overcapacity and overproduction problem in China, but why is that a problem for US politicians? Do the US not have its own problems to worry about now? like overprinting of money, overspending of budget, overproductuon of homeless people and overcapacity of violence and crimes.

Interminable wars.

My Indian friends say beggars have no choice, that is get what is given to them. And the Chinese never have the experience of a debtor lecturing his creditor. Yellen is like a beggar and debtor to China. And worst of all, the US talks rubbish about debt traps and overcapacity about China. But, that is exactly what the US want China to do - lending the US more money, and providing the US with cheaper goods. BTW, the US has huge overcapacity in manufacturing cigarettes and arms, for exporting deaths to the world.

German, Japanese and Korean auto makers export huge percentages overseas. Do they have over capacity ?

With china holding over three trillion dollars in USD reserves its hard for Yellen to come from a position of strength.

Very interesting and intelligent conversation! Thank you.

When Kissinger asked Chou En LI what he thought of democracy Chou En LI paused and replied. It's too early to tell. You may think that China has a long term plan but most people know that China has a long term plan.

Thank you Lena you hit the nail on the head 😀 much love to you from Holland ❤️❤️

Yellen’s visit was an act of desperation.

It wouldn't be too long before the US regime will also express its concern about China's over capacity for advance computer chips.

China was at the receiving end of the full brunt of the Western combined forces, led by the U.K., France and U.S. during the First Opium War (1839-1842), the Second Opium War (1857-1858) and the Eight-Nations Alliance (1900-1901). The Opium Wars were triggered off by China’s resistance to the sale of opium to its citizens by the foreign powers. The addictive opium was the main source of exports pushed by the West in order to alter the balance of trade with China in their favour. China was forced, at gunpoint literally, to sign unfair treaties. These unequal treaties (signed during the 19th and early 20th centuries) between China and the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, Russia and Japan, were one-sided requiring China to legalise opium import, cede land, pay reparations, open treaty ports, give up tariff autonomy, and grant extraterritorial privileges to foreign citizens. Fast forward today, the demand for Chinese products again outstripped China’s appetite for products that the West would sell to China. Underpinned by China’s substantial comparative advantage, the Chinese manufacturing products of comparable or superior quality are a lot cheaper - all made possible by China’s huge domestic market, comprehensive industry chain, well educated and highly skilled labor force, and their relentless pursuit for scientific and technological innovation. What China has achieved had ostensibly rattled the ingrained colonial psyche of the U.S., the E.U. and Japan, who see themselves as the industrial kingpins, especially in the automotive industry and other high tech sectors. Not only had China emerged as the world largest producer and exporter of automobiles, it has also fortified its position as the new kingpin in the new energy and communication technology. Truth be told, the delicate economic relationship between the so-called Liberal West and China is still very much trapped in the imperialist psyche of the former. The West wants the cheap goods produced in China. They also want to dominate the huge Chinese market. But at the same time, they are fearful of China’s ability to innovate and ultimately leave them in the dust. It is a convoluted love-hate feeling so to speak. But caught up with the West China did. It is now the new industrial and economic superpower. It is already the world’s largest economy by purchasing power parity. “China’s post-pandemic surplus in manufacturing - which has now reached about two percent of world GDP - far exceeds the peak surpluses run by export powerhouses like Japan and Germany. More importantly, China’s surplus shows no signs of shrinking. While there was a pause in the expansion of the surplus in 2023, that only came after a huge jump between 2018 and 2022. And now, Chinese policy continues to emphasize upgrading China’s capacity in advanced manufacturing as a major driver of future growth,”said Michael Weilandt, and Volkmar Bauer of Union Investment, and Brad Setser. Clearly, to Washington the greatest leverage against its new found peer competitor will have to come from a collective approach involving its allies - accompanied by a collective, coordinated, and sustained effort - to isolate and to deny China the access to advanced and cutting-edge technology. However, such belligerent denial strategy not only had failed to work, but it had actually speeded up China’s push towards innovation and technological self-reliance. A case in point is Washington’s ongoing efforts to strangle China’s semiconductor industry thinking that the latter still lags behind the global semiconductor industry by approximately ten years, as Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger had posited. In 2019, the US requires Huawei, and other manufacturers to apply for permission to buy technology from the Commerce Department. In October 2022, the U.S. went further by banning foreign manufacturers, such as Dutch ASML, by far the largest manufacturer of photolithography equipment, from supplying to Chinese customers. A belligerent behaviour much to the chagrin of the like of Microsoft’s co-founder Bill Gates, who had said that the US would not be able to achieve the desired result and limit Beijing’s ambitions through procurement restrictions or sanctions. Washington thought that such sanctions would effectively left the Chinese without 5G chips. But by August 2023, Huawei had launched its new Mate 60 and other devices with its in-house 5G chips. Such belligerent behaviour was a clear case of underestimating China’s highly skilled labor force and its capacity for innovation and adaptation. Fast forward to 2024, China had successfully produced the 7nm and 5 nm chips. The U.S. orchestrated hostility towards China is reminiscent of the “Gunboat Policy”. But, this time, only to be disguised in ideological rhetorics, national security concerns, geopolitics, and threat of wars in both East and South China Sea; as well as the now infamous Janet Yellen’s so-called China’s “over capacity”.

At least once it was a visit to China. I remember laughing my arse off at it but can't remember exactly when that visit happened.

Lena is fantastic!

We were squealing about cheap Chinese steel 20 years ago and failed to do anything about it I drive a truck in the US and am constantly baffled at the absurd waste in our supply chain, and transport is even the worst of it I bet we haul a million tons of beer cans out of Dallas TX every year all the way to Russellville KY; I just hauled brown paper stock (for cardboard) from Counce TN to Marshallville IA, then drove 70mi to another paper plant to haul the same thing from IA to Wooster OH…wtf

Yellen didn't expose it as the world had known it already.

Not impressed. The reason that China is so competitive in renewable energy, EVs and Lithium (and sodium) batteries is not simply because of access to raw materials and labour capacity. That shows a distinct lack of knowledge. These were concerted efforts by both Chinese government and Chinese industry to develop the underlying technologies in both development of products but also the development of how to produce at scale. China's advantage in these industries is technological and will not easily be replaced if others simply gain access to materials. China has a significant and growing head start on every country in the world in all 3 of these fields. The other advantage China has that cannot easily be replaced is that it operates at a different speed than others, so-called "China speed". We see this, as one example, in the mass production of Sodium Ion batteries by CATL and others. No other country is even remotely close, even though they can produce sodium batteries, they can't do it at scale and cost effectively.

I remember when back in the 80's the "experts" we're telling us Japan Inc was going to clean our clocks, and that what the US needed was centralized industrial policy. In the end, free or at least semi-free markets triumphed again. You can't grow your economy and improve standard of living by losing money.

Excellent discussion, thank you. It bears out my gut feelings on the politics of international trade between China & the US & the hegemonic projection of US policy preferences.

It’s not that hard to win when other countries are doing such a terrible job. Like if everyone was bringing their A game and China was at the top fair enough.

I find it quite interesting to see international politicians not understand history. Just as an example Japan was known for low cost poor quality products in the early 1960s. Today that produce high quality state of art products. China is following the same pattern. Its the western people's who seem to be intellectually challenged

@user-sf1nq9uj7p

South Korean industries also went through the same pattern of early development towards higher end manufacturing - as did the United States itself. Everyone started off at a low base, making low-cost, 'cheap" products before moving up the ladder. However, most have forgotten their roots and think that their industries went straight into high quality from the word "Go". They didn't. No one did.

Tks Pascal for this great interview. I've just found your channel, looked into it the content is great, just subscribed. I looked into Lena's channel, I didn't know her, just subscribed too. It's so refreshing to see U.S. Americans talking about Geoeconomics and Geopolitics with a neutral approach, without the boring ¨agenda" --> "U.S. good, Russia/China bad¨.

Pascal “ it is not only a sign of weakness “ what Yellen was doing in China ,it was a sign of silliness , immaturity………..As an American I feel sorry of what our the government is doing . SAD!!

Jellen in China representing the businesses interests of Elon Musk is dangerous and misguided. China has successfully developed a booming industry in EV's for domestic and export markets. The US hasn't been able to compete because of over reliance on Tesla. Great perspectives from Lena and Pascal.

The problem is that the USA is over regulated and over taxed. China has implemented policies that encourage growth while US policies are doing the opposite. Europe suffers from the same problem. The sanctions against Russia is a very clear example. They have done much more harm to the collective West's economies.

An open communication is a way to provide an exchange of thoughts, designed to answer, develop and manufacture ways to strengthen ties, designed to enlighten love for quality, love for industriousness that countries would always like to experience.

When first came on board as Biden's key Cabinet member, Yellen said, "Let's do something BIG." Since she was "yelling," the Chinese heard her, and strived to do something big. Now the Chinese did it, and Yellen calls it "overcapacity."

Thats called gunboat diplomacy...😢

America also has a lot of overcapacity: Debt, guns, meth, lawyers, politicians.
