Lucas and Luna cut through the noise each episode, examining Beijing's latest monetary and fiscal moves, trade tensions with the US and EU, and the ripple effects across Asia-Pacific markets. They ground every conversation in real-time data from Chinese industrial production, PMIs, and export figures — no punditry, just the numbers and the strategic outlook. Whether dissecting the PBOC's rate decisions, the impact of export controls on semiconductors, or the shifting dynamics of ASEAN supply chains, this show serves investors, analysts, and executives who need to understand China's role in global markets — not headlines, but the underlying incentives and constraints. Expect a calm, evidence-based dissection of what works, what doesn't, and what could change next. Lucas challenges official narratives with data; Luna asks the uncomfortable questions about debt, demographics, and decoupling. Each episode leaves you with a clearer map of the risks and opportunities in the world's most consequential economy. How will China's stimulus affect your portfolio — and when does the trade war become a cold w…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T06:17:55.317167+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/china-economy-with-fexingo-beijing-s-policies-trade-and-asia-pacific-markets-7871760"},"episode":{"title":"How China Is Using Green Bonds to Fund the Belt and Road","slug":"how-china-is-using-green-bonds-to-fund-the-belt-and-road","published_at":"2026-07-07T18:55:32+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/china-economy-with-fexingo-beijing-s-policies-trade-and-asia-pacific-markets-7871760/how-china-is-using-green-bonds-to-fund-the-belt-and-road","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/china-economy-with-fexingo-beijing-s-policies-trade-and-asia-pacific-markets-7871760","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/china-economy/episode-0098.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/china-economy/episode-0098.mp3","summary":"China's Belt and Road Initiative is going green, and the financing tool of choice is the green bond. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how Beijing is using green bonds to fund infrastructure projects across Asia and Africa, from solar farms in Pakistan to hydropower in Indonesia. We look at the numbers: China issued over $90 billion in green bonds in 2025, more than any other country, and a growing share is cross-border. But critics warn of 'greenwashing' and lack of transparency. With the yuan hovering around 6.79 per dollar and China's trade surplus narrowing, Lucas explains how these bonds also serve a strategic goal: internationalizing the yuan and reducing dependence on the dollar. Luna pushes back on the environmental impact, citing a recent study that found only 30% of Belt and Road green bonds meet international standards. Tune in for a sharp, data-driven look at the intersection of climate finance and geopolitical strategy. #ChinaEconomy #GreenBonds #BeltAndRoad #ClimateFinance #YuanInternationalization #Infrastructure #Solar #Hydropower #Geopolitics #ESG #CrossBorderFinance #BeijingPolicies #Trade #AsiaPacific #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ChinaMarkets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"China's Belt and Road Initiative is going green, and the financing tool of choice is the green bond.
