The Struggle for Supremacy: Can Trump Halt China’s Global Ascent?
Indian professor predicts China cannot win the trade war: Trump has forced China into a tariff war that it can neither afford nor win. The timing could not have been worse for Beijing, given its economic fragility. China’s economy is unravelling — not through a sudden crash, but by slow, systemic suffocation. Beneath the façade of 5% growth lies mounting debt and entrenched deflation. The deeper danger isn't immediate collapse but a prolonged zombie-like stagnation that spreads risks across the global economy. In late 2024, China announced that its economy grew by 5% for the year. At first glance, this seemed like good news. The world’s second-largest economy appeared stable and a working engine in uncertain times. But behind the headlines, the reality is very different. Foreign investors are pulling out. Youth unemployment is rising fast. Big real estate companies are collapsing. And prices, both at factories and in shops, are steadily falling. What is further interesting to note is that in 2024, China’s nominal GDP grew just 4.2%, as against the real GDP growth of 5%. Typically, nominal GDP grows faster than real GDP because it includes inflation. Here, a lower nominal GDP suggests that prices are falling across the board, signalling what is known as deflation — something that economists fear much more than inflation, for it represents an utterly stagnating economy. Further to this, independent groups like the Rhodium Group estimate that China’s real growth has likely been between 2.4% and 2.8%, far lower than the official number. And that is with significant government support behind the scenes. Beijing, meanwhile, has few viable counters. It imports too little from the U.S. to retaliate meaningfully. Currency devaluation risks capital flight. Threatening export bans — such as of rare earths and pharma inputs — will further accelerate global diversification. While they are still projecting strength, it masks a shrinking toolbox. This is a trade war China cannot afford and cannot win. The timing could not have been worse. https://swarajyamag.com/economy/chinese-economy-a-fragile-giant-behind-the-roaring-dragon -

Scouting Pattaya for a Potential Long-Term Base – Welcome Any Leads
Walkable in the sense of being close to everything without needing a car/ motorbike is one thing. But nowhere is truly walkable and enjoyable because it's not pedestrian friendly. The sidewalks are cramped. Why are there no tree-lined streets? And the traffic is heavy, making it stressful to walk anywhere. Just drive to the beach and walk there if you want to keep your cortisol levels low. -
