The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has expressed concerns over China's industrial policies, which have led to overcapacity in factories and a flood of cheap goods entering global markets. This situation threatens the industrial bases in other countries.
• China's state support has created more factory capacity than the domestic market can handle, resulting in excess production, especially in the electric vehicle (EV) sector.
• A significant rise in Chinese EV registrations in Europe indicates a potential decline in Europe’s industrial base.
• The IMF urged China to reduce industrial subsidies from 4% to 2% of GDP, reflecting concerns about "resource misallocation" and unsustainable economic practices.
• The IMF advises China to shift from an export-driven model to one that prioritizes domestic consumption.
• European leaders are worried about the trade imbalances caused by cheap Chinese imports and their impact on competitiveness.
• The lack of a proper response from countries like those in Europe could lead to lasting damage to their industrial sectors.
The IMF's recommendations highlight the need for China to revise its economic strategies to minimize global market disruption and support a more balanced international trade environment.
