China’s next economic disaster isn’t real estate — it’s electric vehicles. 🚨From “car graveyards” filled with unsold EVs, to subsidies keeping zombie companies alive, China’s auto sector is on the same path as Evergrande. The result? Massive oversupply, collapsing prices, trillions in hidden debt, and a looming financial shock that could rival the real estate crisis.In this video, I break down how Beijing’s EV “miracle” became a Ponzi scheme on four wheels — and why the crash will hit jobs, banks, and local governments across China.

Join us as we discuss these latest military and geopolitical developments in the Taiwan Strait.

After a slight dip in outbound investment in China’s Belt and Road Initiative in 2020-2022, leading Washington think tanks declared that the program had been a failure.
