China Lied About Its Population — The Real Number Might Shock YouWhat if everything you’ve ever heard about China’s population… was a lie?The Chinese Communist Party has long claimed that China has 1.4 billion people — the biggest population on Earth, a market so massive it commands global respect, investment, and fear.

China’s June Data Dive: Exports, Imports, and Stimulus. || Digging into ChinaJune 2025 trade data reveals China’s exports grew 5.8%, surpassing expectations, while imports rose 1.1%, below forecasts, yielding a $114.77 billion trade surplus. Despite a $586 billion first-half surplus, foreign exchange reserves grew only $115 billion, largely due to asset appreciation. De-dollarization efforts reduced U.S. Treasury holdings, but export reliance on Southeast Asia and the EU faces challenges from looming U.S. tariffs and EU tensions. Rare earth exports surged, though prices fell due to low-end product sales. Vehicle exports hit record highs, but mobile phone exports dropped. Weak domestic demand is evident in declining crude oil and car imports. Social financing grew, driven by government bonds, not credit. Manufacturing relocation to Southeast Asia risks domestic unemployment, creating rust belts. Stimulus of 1-1.5 trillion yuan is proposed, but significant policy action may wait until Q4 post-U.S. trade talks.0:00 Intro1:25 Unveiling June’s Trade Performance2:05 The Trade Surplus Puzzle3:21 Tariff Wars and Export Strategies4:32 Southeast Asia’s Trade Boost5:12 Rare Earths: A Strategic Shift6:56 Export Trends: Phones, Cars, and Ships8:26 Imports and the Domestic Demand Struggle9:33 Social Financing: No Structural Shift10:37 Credit and Money Supply Challenges12:09 Manufacturing Migration and Rust Belts13:08 Stimulus Outlook and Economic Priorities
