China Starts to Collapse - Joe Blogs
In this video I provide an update on the Chinese Economy and discuss the latest data on GDP, Exports and Property. China has seen a slowdown in its GDP growth in Q1 2025 and now has a huge dependence upon exports. In 20245 the USA represented over 15% of China's exports and following Donald Trump's 145% Tariff it is now effectively closed to Chinese businesses. If this situation continues the Chinese Economy is at risk of imploding and will not come close to hitting the target GDP growth figure of 5.0% for 2025.
