Global stock markets have been jittery in recent weeks owing to the economic turmoil that is erupting within China.  A Chinese media outlet recently reported that China plans to allow local governments to sell 1.5 trillion yuan ($205.9 billion) of special financing bonds to help 12 regions repay debt. The report added that the People's Bank of China may even set up a special purpose vehicle with banks to provide low-cost and long-term liquidity to local government financing vehicles.

This week, the Chinese yuan declined to its lowest level in 9 months following the release of grim economic data that added to concerns about weakening growth.  China's major state-owned banks were reportedly seen selling US dollars to snap up yuan in both onshore and offshore spot markets, with the measures aimed primarily at helping the currency recover. The People's Bank of China also set the fixing for the yuan at 7.2 per dollar on Thursday.  So what is the near-term future outlook for the yuan, and how will a further fall impact other regional currencies? Will Chinese assets become less attractive to overseas investors if this is the case?

Thailand. China, India & Russia. Visa Backlogs. Indonesia's Air Sector. A Short-Term Rental Ban. Taylor Swift & Coldplay. High-Speed Rail. Love the Philippines. What connects the dots? All feature in our round-up of South East Asia's Top 10 talking points from the first half of 2023. As the region moves on from its first full half year of travel since 2019, Gary and Hannah discuss the key issues and vital takeaways. Plus, we forecast some of the hot issues to watch in the second half of the year. Will we see a slowdown in intra-regional pent up travel demand? Will Chinese tourists stream into South East Asia in larger numbers? Can regional airports cope if they do? Will long-haul air fares stay as high as they are right now? How will depreciating currencies impact inbound and outbound travel? And should we finally cast off the shadow of the "return to 2029 levels" recovery benchmark?

In its midyear outlook, HSBC Asset Management said the U.S. will enter a downturn in the fourth quarter, followed by a “year of contraction and a European recession in 2024.” These recessionary fears, coupled with geopolitical uncertainties, haven't been music to the ears of US equities, which posted their worst week since March last week. So can we expect US equities to rebound? Asian markets as well have been jittery. China's CSI 300 Index, which tracks the 300 most valuable stocks on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges, has dropped nearly 9.3 per cent from a January high. Will Chinese stocks stage a recovery in the second half of 2023?

I'm trying something new. Each week I'm going to recap my favorite stories from the past week as well as our discussion during the weekly live stream. I'll fill in some of my opinions on the topics, throw an interview in here or there, and see where it goes from here. Hope you enjoy it. New York City opening up to drone use Since the product came on the scene, New York City has had a de facto ban on drones. The city law bans take-offs of aircraft that don't use approved locations by the Department of Transportation or the Port Authority. That definition pretty much means only heliports or airports, which are impractical for any film crew or recreational pilot to use. However, thanks to several factors, including a lawsuit by a film production company and the need to use drones for building facade surveys, New York is "opening up" the ability for drone operators to receive flight permits. However, the permits won't be the easiest to get. No casual pilots will be getting the NYPD's stamp of approval. Here's what you'll need in the application: Name and contact information Description of purpose for the flight Take-off date, time, and location Flight plan details Details of the drone you will be flying FAA authorizations (licenses, waivers, registration, etc.) Insurance policy Data privacy and cybersecurity policies Anything else the NYPD wants Oh yeah, and this must be submitted 30 days before the "take-off." A hearing for the change in city law is scheduled for July 7. I guess we'll know more then. But is New York in the right for these sort of restrictions? Well, yes and no in my opinoin. Are these laws constitutional? No idea. New York's law is very well worded. It does not ban the flight of aircraft in its city. It just prohibits you from taking off or landing them. The law would have to be directly challenged in court with a final ruling for the precedent to be set on how other cities can regulate drones. Also, like do I need to get approval for every take-off or just once for the whole project? Cause if I'm filming a multi-day event, that's a lot of battery changes and is so unpredictable when you'll have to land and take-off again. How much regulation is too much? Here is where my mind is split on drone regulation. Can you blame NYC for wanting to keep drone flights to as few as possible? You can argue your right to fly or right to capture events with your cameras, but you have to look at it from both sides. There are some idiot drone pilots out there. In a city of almost 9 million, maybe having strict drone laws is a good thing? Now who that comes from, I think, is easy to answer, the FAA. Constitutionally the FAA has the authority to regulate airspace, no one else. I've said this often on our YouTube streams, and I'll say it again. In the right hands, drones can create beautiful things or save lives. But drones in the wrong hands can be very, very dangerous. For us normie pilots out here that just want more places to fly, trust me, I'm with you, my city also has a similar ban to New York's, and the best bet is to continue to be good pilots. We should continue to follow the laws, be active in our community, and hopefully be good stewards that open local officials up to friendlier regulations. Or we all run for office, take over the FAA from the inside, and create a new drone world order. I'm joking, I'm joking... ish. Will Chinese bans force US innovation? Let's talk about the hottest form of regulation going on in the US at the moment. There are several of these flying around, with plenty already in effect. Florida banned Chinese-made drones for its agencies earlier this year, and of course, there's the DoD's Blue UAS list. There are more coming. The Senate is working on a bill that will ban the FAA from using federal funds to purchase drones from a list of countries, including China. Then, of course, there is the sentiment around anything Chinese being bad and must be banned, like TikTok. If we want to see the future of bans on Chinese drones, we will have to see if TikTok's regulatory issues succeed. Both have very similar qualities to them. Both arguments lack concrete evidence and rely on the Chinese fear of the people and "national security concerns." Finally, they are both set up for some sort of legal challenge. TikTok's bans are way more mainstream, and I suspect those will be challenged long before any Chinese drone law is. We'll have to wait and see what would come of any potential TikTok ban challenge, but if the ban sticks, then I can see the drone bans continuing. If TikTok's ban can be challenged and overturned, then I don't see why these Chinese bans couldn't be challenged either. But this could take a while, maybe years, and business has to continue. Many agencies forced to move to US-made drones have complained of limitations compared to those from China, like DJI. Can the US market take advantage of the bans? It's time for the US drone sector to step up. The federal and some state governments have literally handed them dominance in the US market on a silver platter. Sadly, when governments spoon-feed success to companies, it usually doesn't go over well. Is there another option? Well, I have a hunch that instead of US companies stepping up and becoming powerhouses, the existing leaders might make the hop over the pond and set up shop here. DJI is out of the question. Like Bytedance (TikTok's parent company), DJI's roots are in China and have too many ties there. Autel, on the other hand, could. Autel already has a US foothold through its automotive wing and wants to compete with DJI in the enterprise market. What better way to get ahead of DJI than doing what they cannot and embracing the US market and move? Now I make it sound effortless, but I remember asking Autel CEO Maxwell Lee about it at CES this year, and he didn't shoot it down right away. It didn't sound like it was something he wanted to do, but he acknowledged it was possible. Anyways, the regulation space is not a fast-paced one, so I'm sure we will have a chance to retouch this topic again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib-rzXeVDFY

The latest data out of China shows the slowdown deepening. The People's Bank of China has bucked the trend in the rest of the world by cutting interest rates. Will Chinese authorities also be forced to reconsider their zero covid stance? Plus, Australian unemployment falls again but wages remain sluggish and UK inflation hits double digits.

China's digital yuan is a form of central bank digital currency (CBDC) which many other central banks around the world are also working on. Chinese authorities are now stepping up their ambition to expand the use of e-CNY after a trial at this year's Winter Olympic in Beijing. Chris Cash is joined by Ananya Kumar, Assistant Director of Digital Currencies at the Atlantic Council's GeoEconomics Center, to discuss the growth trajectory of the digital yuan and its domestic and geopolitical implications. Will Chinese citizens buy into the digital yuan? What impact will its roll out have on financial stability in China? How will a digital currency aid China's internationalisation of the RMB and reduce dependence on dollar-denominated transactions? You can read Ananya's paper on the digital yuan, or e-CNY, here. The Atlantic Council has also released a newly-updated Central Bank Digital Currency tracker.

In this episode, we go deep into the crisis at Chinese real estate giant Evergrande and examine the reasons and fall-out. The property developer's debt woes have made headlines around the world, and sparked broader fears about the state of China's real estate market, which is a key driver of growth in the world's second largest economy. Will Chinese authorities be able to contain the Evergrande crisis? Are there likely wider ramifications for China's economy, as well as for countries, including India, which counts on China as its largest trading partner with a trading relationship predicated on continued Chinese appetite for commodities? What do the Evergrande crisis, as well as the moves to address the debt problem, tell us about Xi Jinping's broader goals for China's economy? We also discuss other significant recent regulatory moves by Chinese authorities taking aim at the private sector, from the investigations into the Alibaba group and Tencent, to the crackdown on the private education sector, to ask how Xi is remaking China's economy.

Crack Santa returns! Can American and the rest of the West kick it's addiction to cheap electronics? For that matter, can China kick its addiction to exploiting it's citizen's for a source of cheap labor. Will Chinese companies continue to operate under the terms of a knockoff hybrid between The Lord of the Rings and Lord of The Flies; or will they continue to believe that there can only be "One Stamp To Rule It All"? Although the evacuation of Afghanistan is "complete", the political arguments on social media begin to heat up. More and more misinformation begins to spread. As lines are drawn, and sides are taken, some harsh realities being to set in. Texas...WTF. #ChineseMagicStamp #ARM #NVidia #misinformation #abortion #nopermitnoproblem #toughpilltoswallow #donttreadonme #Austincalling #CrackSantaSaviours #ReturnOfTheCrackSanta #BugOut #TexasWTF

Will Chinese companies really be forced off of US stock exchanges because they cannot fulfill certain US audit requirements? The Public Company Accounting Oversights Board (PCAOB) is tasked with essentially auditing the auditors of public companies trading in the US. For Chinese companies which have listed on NASDAQ and NYSE, PCAOB has never been able to do this, and we're now approaching a hard 3 year timeline where these companies may be forced out. We talk to the former Head of Enforcement for PCAOB, Claudius Modesti, who has negotiated this bilateral issue with China's CSRC and Ministry of Finance. If a compromise is possible, if these companies really will be forced to leave? No one can answer this better than Claudius. Enjoy the episode.

In the fifth episode of our series on financial technology, we sat down with Zhong Wang, Head of Strategy and Overseas Payments for Baidu Wallet and Payment Services. Zhong is a veteran of both Silicon Valley and the Chinese tech industry and is an expert on the retail payments sector in China. We invited Zhong to speak with us about why innovations in payments are occurring so rapidly in China, the competitive threat that new payment companies represent to banks, and how developments in payments may impact other parts of the Chinese financial system. The conversation covers a number of interesting topics. For example, can new payments technologies help bring financial services to China’s large underbanked population? Is there a generation gap between the young and old in terms of adopting mobile payments? Will Chinese payment companies be able to expand to other rapidly developing Asian economies? Zhong also explains what he sees as some of the biggest differences between Silicon Valley and tech companies in China. The views expressed are not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or of the Federal Reserve System.

Will Chinese economic development ultimately lead to political development? In Age of Ambition, the journalist Evan Osnos thinks he has found the missing link: the emergence in Chinese society of a search for dignity.

Chinese food is launching its second attempt to join UNESCO's cultural heritage list. Representatives of the eight major Chinese cuisines recently gathered in Beijing to discuss how to win UNESCO recognition. Will Chinese food succeed now, after its first attempt was rejected three years ago? How are the preparations going? And what development opportunities will a successful UNESCO world heritage listing bring to the Chinese restaurant industry overseas? We now go to Luo Wen for answers to these questions. Reporter: China's millennia of cuisine are world famous. Many Chinese dishes--Peking duck, hotpot and Sichuan beef--are popular both in and out of the country. But none of them has yet made it onto the UNESCO list. In 2011, the first bid was made for recognition... but the attempt was rejected at the UNESCO meeting held in Bali, Indonesia. Bian Jiang is the deputy director of the Chinese Cuisine Association, the main body for the UNESCO application designated by China's Ministry of Culture. He sums up why Chinese food failed to convince the international judges three years ago. "First of all, we weren't very familiar with the evaluation principle and bidding procedure of food-related intangible cultural heritage; Secondly, the application failed to present the food's cultural impact to the judges." In 2013, South Korea's Kimjang, the making and sharing of kimchi, won a spot on the list of UNESCO's world intangible cultural heritages. Washoku, or traditional Japanese cuisine, and ancient Georgian traditional wine-making were added to the list during UNESCO's 8th intergovernmental council in Azerbaijan - the same meeting where Chinese zhusuan, abacus calculation, was listed. UNESCO experts say South Korea's Kimjang made it to the list mostly for its impact on people and society, like improved relations within the community when people share kimchi, the solidarity and joy it brings, the different ways of making it and how it's eaten. So based on China's neighbor's success, Bian Jiang says this time the Chinese Cuisine Association will shift its emphasis from food to the more intangible ingredients, such as cooking skills, cuisine styles, methods of eating, the stories behind the food and the culture it promotes. According to Secretary General of the China Cuisine Association Feng Enyuan, it could be very hard for China to select one single dish to represent the whole country's food culture. "Chinese food culture is extensive and profound, it's not an easy job to select only one or two dishes that represent the best of Chinese food. So far, eight cuisines have gained the most votes, including Peking duck, traditional New Year's dinner, dumplings, moon cakes, tofu, Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles, hotpot and Zongzi, or glutinous rice dumplings. We are still selecting the best ones. Another challenge is how to explain the food to the world. The Chinese way of cooking is so complicated that even the Chinese can't understand it, so we have to find a universal language to strike a chord with judges who come from different cultures." Recognition for food-related items is not new. France's multi-course gastronomic meal, with its rites and presentation, was one of the first to make the list in 2010. Earning UNESCO status at the same time was traditional Mexican cuisine, and the Mediterranean diet of Cyprus, Croatia, Spain, Greece, Italy, Morocco and Portugal. China currently has 29 items on UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage, and seven on the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding. But none of them is food related. Bian Jiang believes that's a great pity. He says that the development of Chinese civilization somehow evolved around gourmet culture. For example, ding, an ancient cooking vessel with two loop handles and three or four legs, was also a symbol of the dynasties of ancient China. Many important festivals in China are marked by food. Spring Festival starts traditionally with a bowl of "eight treasure" congee, followed by the making and eating of Jiaozi or boiled dumplings, on Spring Festival Eve and Spring Festival Day. It ends with the eating of rice balls called Yuanxiao on the 15th day of the Lunar New Year. Bian adds that good food is heartwarming, and is often part of the memories one has of the place where he or she grew up. That opinion is echoed by this lady in Wuhan, who says she couldn't start a day without a bowl of reganmian, hot dry noodles. "We Wuhan people love Reganmian. It's an important part of our breakfast. It is what we grow up eating. I miss the taste if I don't eat it for two days. It is an eating habit that's passed down several generations." She says Reganmian noodles contain sodium carbonate. They have a special flavour because they are dried and then boiled, and served with fragrant sesame oil and sesame paste. Bian notes that there are already 50 food-related intangible cultural heritage items recognized on a national level. Many of these are liquors like Mouta and Wuliangye, and tea-making techniques, such as green tea, black tea, oolong and Pu'er. Peking duck, like the Quanjude and Bianyifang restaurants, are on the list. Luoyang's "water banquet" preparations, Sichuan Fuling's zhacai, and Confucius family cuisine preparations are all listed as national intangible cultural heritage. Bian Jiang says intangible cultural heritage status will help raise the international image of Chinese cuisine, and promote development in the Chinese food industry. Andrew Chiu owns a Chinese restaurant chain in Wellington, New Zealand. "No doubt a successful entry onto the world heritage list will help westerners learn more about Chinese cuisine. China has so much great food that it deserves more international recognition."
