Officials Panic As China Hits 25 Year Low; China Demographics; Chinese Economy - China Update



00:00 Introduction
00:23 Chinese Economy: Crashing To 25 Year Low
05:05 Chinese Economy II: Consumption Wishes & Woes
07:38 Demographic Decline: Free Childbirth Policy
10:15 China vs Panama Canal Ports Deal

====================

I'll note that the final segment is interesting since it discusses that China wants authority to stop traffic through the Panama Canal which is a violation of the U.S.-Panama Canal treaty. This disagreement may scuttle tariff discussions.
