China’s latest CPI and PPI data may look stable on the surface — but the deeper story tells a very different picture. In this episode, we break down why falling prices are not a sign of strength, but a warning of a deeper economic problem: deflation. From weak domestic demand and industrial overcapacity to government stimulus efforts that struggle to deliver real results, we connect the data to the lived reality of China’s economy. We also examine record trade surpluses and what they reveal about structural imbalances. This is not just about numbers — it’s about the underlying forces shaping China’s economic future.
