从经济增长上说，效率是关键。 主流媒体说是需求不足；专家说是缺少内生动力。这些都是看得到的问题，我们完全可以列出一个长长的问题清单，但是，更值得思考的还是两位张教授争 论的 "中国模式"：如果中国模式算得上是一个特立独行的模式，它是否具有可持续性？ 中国经济的问题是什么？ 什么是中国模式？ 可以归结为行政权主导的市场经济，有人说是现代版的盐铁论，也有人说是国家资本主义，中国自己有一种不成文的表达叫 "举国经济"。其实，这都不足 以表达中国经济到底是个什么模式，这些并不太重要；重要的是生产过剩是资本主义的专利，为什么会在中国发生。 这是因为我们的经济存在两个方面的平衡：一是投资规模与效率的平衡，二是分配的平衡。 中国主要是通过投资拉动经济，但拉动了规模，并不等于提高了收益；也就是说，办公室精英可以计划供应端，通过投资与扩大财政赤字，稳住 GDP 增 长，但决定不了效益。如果是低效投资，无法带动起收入，生产与消费就会失去平衡。 当然，市场经济本身也存在社会大分配的平衡。 如果财政支出中，行政管理性开支过高，超过国际平均水平，那么用于民生的二次分配就会显得力不从心，特别是社会保障支出在GDP中的占比过低，会降 低有 ...

Core Viewpoint - China is the world's largest manufacturing country, producing nearly one-third of global manufactured goods, but faces challenges in consumer spending, which only accounts for 40% of GDP, significantly lower than the global average [1][6]. Production and Consumption - China is firmly established as the leading manufacturing power, with a strong likelihood of maintaining this position in the future, although external factors and demographic changes could impact this [1]. - Despite being the second-largest consumer market globally, China's consumption is heavily supported by its large population, contrasting with the U.S., which has a much smaller population but higher per capita consumption [1][6]. - The imbalance between production and consumption is evident, as China remains an export-driven economy, relying on exports to sustain economic growth [6][7]. Export and Economic Growth - China's trade surplus approached $1 trillion last year and is expected to exceed this figure again, highlighting the importance of exports as a key driver of economic growth [7]. - However, the overcapacity in production poses risks, leading to price wars across various industries, indicating a mismatch between supply and demand [7][8]. Investment and Market Dynamics - The current state of overproduction is attributed to excessive investment rather than a genuine lack of demand, suggesting that the market's real conditions are being misinterpreted [8][10]. - The reliance on leverage for growth has resulted in a belief in perpetual demand, leading to overinvestment in sectors like real estate and manufacturing [10][11]. Addressing Consumption Challenges - To become the largest consumer market, China must focus on increasing income levels, as higher income will naturally lead to increased consumption [5][12]. - Addressing production issues, such as overcapacity and resource misallocation, is crucial for improving consumer spending and overall economic health [12][15]. Future Outlook - Achieving a consumer spending share of 50% of GDP within the next decade is a target, but this still falls short of the U.S. level of 67% [16]. - The next 5-10 years are critical for China to transition into the largest consumer market, contingent on resolving overinvestment issues and enhancing income levels [17][16].

Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the paradox of increasing money supply (M2) without corresponding inflation or asset price increases, raising questions about the flow of this new money and its implications for the economy [1][3]. Group 1: Money Supply and Inflation - M2 balance reached 330.29 trillion yuan in the first half of the year, growing by 8.3% year-on-year, indicating an increase in the money supply [1]. - CPI rose slightly to 0.1%, while PPI fell to -3.6%, suggesting persistent low inflation despite the increase in money supply [1][3]. Group 2: Allocation of New Money - Approximately 30% of the new money flowed to the government through bond financing, used for debt repayment and infrastructure investments [4]. - About 60% of the new money went to enterprises, primarily for production expansion, leading to potential overproduction and price deflation [5]. Group 3: Export and Currency Dynamics - Trade surplus reached $586.7 billion in the first half of 2025, but foreign currency deposits hit a record high of $824.87 billion, indicating that much of the earnings from exports are not being converted back to RMB [7][8]. - Many export companies are retaining their foreign currency earnings overseas, investing in high-yield assets rather than bringing the funds back to China [10][12]. Group 4: Capital Market Strategy - The article suggests that attracting foreign and repatriated funds to the Hong Kong capital market is crucial for stabilizing the economy and enhancing wealth effects [11][13]. - The push for Hong Kong's capital market is seen as a strategy to create a favorable environment for investment, especially in light of anticipated interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and expectations of RMB appreciation [13].

Group 4: Capital Market Strategies - The article suggests that enhancing the capital market, particularly in Hong Kong, is crucial for attracting foreign and repatriated funds, with measures like allowing mainland investors to buy Hong Kong stocks [11]. - The anticipated easing of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve and expectations of RMB appreciation may further incentivize capital to flow into Hong Kong's market [13].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article is that despite an increase in the money supply (M2) and a slight recovery in CPI, there is no corresponding rise in commodity and asset prices, leading to questions about where the excess money is going [1][2] - M2 increased by 8.3% year-on-year, reaching 330.29 trillion yuan, while CPI rose to 0.1% and PPI fell to -3.6%, indicating a disconnect between money supply and price levels [1][2] - The majority of the new money supply is not reaching households, as only 1.17 trillion yuan in new loans were taken by residents, representing about 7% of the M2 increase [2] Group 2 - Approximately 30% of the new money is directed towards government financing through bonds, with some funds used for debt refinancing and infrastructure investments [2] - About 60% of the new money flows to enterprises, which primarily use it to expand production, but this can lead to overproduction as demand does not keep pace [3][4] - The phenomenon of "capital outflow" occurs when export companies do not convert their foreign currency earnings back to RMB, leading to a significant increase in foreign currency deposits in domestic banks [4] Group 3 - The increase in production without corresponding demand results in price deflation, making it difficult for commodity prices to rise [3][4] - The article suggests that the current strategy to attract capital back to the domestic market involves enhancing the Hong Kong capital market, which is seen as a key area for foreign and repatriated funds [4][5] - The expectation of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and the appreciation of RMB may further drive capital out of dollar assets towards Hong Kong-listed quality companies [5]

Core Viewpoint - The current economic situation is increasingly resembling Japan's "lost 30 years," characterized by low interest rates, low inflation, and low growth, leading to potential asset depreciation and wealth loss for the middle class [1][4]. Group 1: Economic Cycles and Historical Context - Industrialized nations typically experience high growth followed by periods of recession, with wealth redistribution often resulting in middle-class decline [1][2]. - Historical examples include the U.S. post-Great Depression, the U.K. during the 1970s stagflation, and Japan's asset bubble burst in the early 1990s, all leading to significant middle-class hardships [1][2][3]. Group 2: Mechanisms of Economic Decline - High growth periods lead to overproduction and overinvestment, fueled by easy money, which eventually results in economic adjustments and industry corrections [2][3]. - The middle class is particularly vulnerable during these transitions, facing stagnant incomes and declining asset values while still carrying debt [3][4]. Group 3: Wealth Disparity and Investment Strategies - The current low-growth environment exacerbates wealth inequality, as many individuals are either in debt or chasing high-risk investments without stable returns [4][5]. - Successful individuals during Japan's "lost 30 years" managed to increase their wealth through investments in stable, high-dividend stocks, which outperformed the market and inflation [4][5]. Group 4: Recommendations for Wealth Preservation - To navigate the impending wealth divide, individuals should focus on saving and investing in stable assets that can provide consistent returns, similar to Japan's high-yield stocks [5].
