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":"Why Chinas Youth Unemployment Is Reshaping Its Economy","slug":"why-chinas-youth-unemployment-is-reshaping-its-economy","published_at":"2026-06-24T06:34:22+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/china-economy-with-fexingo-beijing-s-policies-trade-and-asia-pacific-markets-7871760/why-chinas-youth-unemployment-is-reshaping-its-economy","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-0071.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/china-economy/episode-0071.mp3","summary":"China's youth unemployment hit a record 20.8 percent in May 2026, even as the broader job market shows signs of stability. Lucas and Luna explore the structural forces behind the disconnect — an education system that produces millions of graduates each year but not enough jobs in the service sector or private enterprise. They look at how the post-pandemic preference for state-sector jobs has intensified competition among the young, and how local governments are experimenting with apprenticeship programs and wage subsidies. The hosts also connect the youth jobless rate to the recent sell-off in Chinese tech stocks: investors worry that a generation of frustrated consumers will hold back spending for years. Specific data points include the 11.7 million college graduates entering the workforce this year, and the fact that the official urban unemployment rate for 16 to 24 year olds has not dropped below 18 percent since 2023. A data-driven look at what might be the most politically sensitive economic indicator in China today. #ChinaEconomy #YouthUnemployment #ChineseJobs #LaborMarket #FXI #KWEB #BABA #Graduates #StateSector #EconomicPolicy #Beijing #TechStocks #Consumption #StructuralUnemployment #Apprenticeships #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"China's youth unemployment hit a record 20.8 percent in May 2026, even as the broader job market shows signs of stability.
