Taiwanese Vice President Lai Ching-te declared victory in the island’s presidential vote on Saturday. Lai’s Democratic Progressive Party secured an unprecedented third straight term in the presidency. Photo: An Rong Xu/Bloomberg NewsTaiwan has voted: bringing the independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party an unprecedented consecutive third term in the presidency. Now the world is waiting on Beijing, which claims Taiwan but doesn’t rule it. Saturday’s DPP victory, with around 40% of the vote, could mean more scary headlines in the near-term.

Pressure Is Building in China’s Financial Plumbing
  + stars: | 2023-12-04 | by ( Nathaniel Taplin | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
China’s money markets are twitchy following problems in the property sector and the insolvency of asset manager Zhongzhi Enterprise Group. Photo: Bloomberg NewsPlumbing is something most of us take for granted—until there’s a problem, at which point things can get messy fast. Likewise for the “plumbing” of modern financial systems: the money markets, where banks and other financial institutions make short-term loans to each other. So given the strains China’s economy is already laboring under—including a slow-motion property sector implosion and the “serious” insolvency of Zhongzhi Enterprise Group, a large asset manager, in its own words—it isn’t a great sign that China’s money markets have recently been throwing off little blips of distress too.

China’s Economy Is Stuck in a Vicious Cycle

The pandemic-era collapse in consumer confidence, borrowing, and job prospects is still a huge obstacle to China’s recovery. Photo: Cfoto/Zuma PressChina probably can’t fix its broken housing market without fixing the labor market and consumer confidence. But more exuberant consumers and a stronger labor market depend on a healthier housing sector, too. Until Beijing finds a way to square that circle, expect China’s subpar recovery to dribble on.

TAIPEI—For years, Beijing hoped to win control of Taiwan by convincing its people their economic futures were inextricably tied to China. Instead, more Taiwanese businesses are pivoting to the U.S. and other markets, reducing the island democracy’s dependence on China and angering Beijing as it sees its economic leverage over Taiwan ebb.

China’s Middle East Clout Has Limits

Photo: Khalil Dawood/Xinhua/Getty ImagesFor most of the past decade, China’s story in the Middle East has been straightforward: endlessly rising investment, trade and influence. Having brokered a return to diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran earlier this year and given its strong economic relationship with Israel, China has also found itself in the spotlight as the conflict in Gaza has boiled over. But is the Middle East destined to keep becoming—economically, at least—less middle and more east?

A construction site by Country Garden in Tianjin, China. The developer is now fighting for survival. Photo: TINGSHU WANG/REUTERSIn July, when worries about China’s economic recovery were first beginning to percolate more widely, analysts fixated on a curious bit of language from the Politburo: the recovery was developing in a winding, “wave-like” manner. Nearly half a year later, that characterization is looking more and more apt.

China’s slowing economy could soon become a major talking point for U.S. companies as they begin to report third-quarter earnings. Illustration: Elizabeth SmelovChina’s surprise investigation into Apple supplier Foxconn, a key link in the iPhone supply chain, may be intended to send a message. The one Apple and its suppliers actually receive might do China more harm than good. Chinese authorities have launched tax and land-use probes into subsidiaries of Foxconn , formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry , the company confirmed last week. That is surprising since Foxconn, which is the world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer, has long had an amicable relationship with China—and is one of the biggest employers in the country.

A record number of Chinese college students graduated this summer, but landing their dream job may be a long shot. WSJ takes a look at why China’s youth unemployment is at all-time highs. Photo illustration: Adam AdadaChina’s economy no longer resembles a newly paved parking lot: Things are moving again and green shoots are creeping up through the cracks. Official data released Wednesday showed the Chinese economy grew 4.9% year-over-year in the third quarter and 1.3% quarter-over-quarter. The latter figure was nearly twice as fast as the second quarter’s 0.8% increase.

The U.S. produces more corn than any other crop and American farms sold $5.3 billion of it to China last year. But China has spent years courting other producers and it is exploring ways to become self-sufficient long-term. Illustration: Annie ZhaoThe economic news out of China this summer has been, in a word, grim. But the headline figures, as bad as they are, may be hinting at a more fundamental issue: Beijing has failed to convince households that their financial future is secure in the post-Covid era.
