Last week, @TheEIU published a free report led by my colleagues and I looking at Asia's exposure to a potential conflict in the Taiwan Strait. We'll also host two webinars to discuss our findings on July 13th. Report: bit.ly/3JtRKVp Webinar: eiu.com/n/webinars/asia-expo…

China's export restrictions might be the kick that the West needs in terms of breaking its reliance on imported Chinese rare earths. See Japan, which diversified its RE imports over the past decade following similar Chinese export restrictions in 2010

We have a long road ahead, but this weekend a friend’s son had to go to the hospital & she was incredulous that the doctors would not even say the word “Covid”. “There are many viruses right now” & avoided naming the one causing concern…. 😬 Thx for analysis @TheEIU_China – at Shanghai, People's Republic of China

Good summary! And also shows the difficulties when you can't be comfortable with ambiguity and your policy process has no feedback and adjustment mechanisms

In the early phase of the pandemic 🇨🇳 was successful in fighting it, but then it has massively failed in its vaccination policies and tried to rely only on testing and lock downs. With omicron that’s a battle that can only be lost, and now people are running out of patience.

Honestly, when we sent her in undercover, we never thought it would work this well. As we celebrate/mourn today 100 years since the last Liberal PM, Agent Liz is ensuring that the Conservatives now get their opportunity to have a century out of power…

Blimey. Investors are now better on UK interest rates topping 6 per cent by the first half of next year. You can see the expectations rising literally by the minute…

Worth repeating. Take all the tax changes coming in over next few years and: If your income is < £155k, you lose If your income is > £155k you win If your income > £1m you gain more than £40,000

Despite today's tax cuts middle earners are still set to lose as a result of tax changes over next years. The freezing of allowances and thresholds is still a big tax increase. Only those on over £155,000 will pay less tax overall. The very rich will pay tens of thousands less

🇨🇳 - Foreign investors are fleeing China • Xi Jinping’s policies are having a profound impact on markets—and a painful one • Beijing's increasingly ideological stance on covid-19 (+ zero-covid policy) means trend could be structural

🌍 - Debt repayments are sky-high in many African countries, raising risk of debt crises • Angola 🇦🇴, Sudan 🇸🇩, Zambia 🇿🇲, Chad 🇹🇩, Tunisia 🇹🇳 spend >30% of fiscal revenues on repaying debt • Crunch time will not be in 2022, but risks to rise in 2023-24 when huge repayments due
