☆ China's cheap goods are threatening to undermine its influence in the developing world
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-06 | by ( Tom Porter | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

AdvertisementChina is flooding the developing world with cheap goods. China's exports, meanwhile, are growing at a rate of around 12% in dollar terms year-on-year, according to October trade data, with 50% being sent to the developing world. Meanwhile, consumers in the developing world have benefited from the influx of affordable Chinese goods. As the economies of developing nations become woven more tightly with China's, the volume of cheap Chinese imports has increased. Yet the importance it places on its status as a manufacturing powerhouse, and the relative weakness of domestic Chinese demand, means the flow of cheap Chinese goods abroad is unlikely to let up anytime soon.

The price of bitcoin soared past the long-awaited $100,000 benchmark for the first time ever late Wednesday evening. The appointment could fulfill Trump’s most important campaign promise to the crypto industry: to replace Gary Gensler, who has become something of a villain in crypto for the agency’s regulation-by-enforcement approach to the industry under his leadership. In recent years, however, the industry has demonstrated the value of bitcoin to much of the institutional investing world. Bitcoin had been widely expected to reach the landmark $100,000 level since the U.S. presidential election. However, excited investors sent bitcoin closer to this mark much sooner than initially anticipated; it rose as high as $99,849.99 on Nov. 22.

But neither he nor Ivanka Trump is expected to take on any formal role in the White House. This accounting of the roles Trump’s family members will play in his second administration is based on conversations with 10 people familiar with the dynamics. “Susie ran the best of his three campaigns, and she’ll run the best White House that he’s had,” the former senior Trump White House official said.

President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet selections are a mix of conventional (Senator Marco Rubio and Gov. Doug Burgum) and oddball (Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) — reflecting the heterodox coalition that brought him back to power. While never a traditional Republican, Mr. Trump, in a second term, looks likely to go further than in his first in dumping many traditional Republican policies. In particular, Mr. Trump seems willing, even eager, to embrace vice. In his recent campaign, Mr. Trump embraced a strategy of social moderation.

Glover said the first actual production model Jaguar is expected to launch in 2026 and will closely resemble the concept. Jaguar Land Rover hit an annual sales record in 2017. Though that was largely thanks to the success of Land Rover's three lines of muscular SUVs, Jaguar sales hit 178,601, a 20% increase over the previous year, at that point. Jaguar's struggles are not unique, said Karl Brauer, executive analyst for iSeeCars, a car shopping website and data provider. "Going volume definitely didn't help," said Charles Tennant, an independent auto analyst who is both the former chief engineer at Land Rover and a former director at Tata Motors, who advised the Indian carmaker on the Jaguar and Land Rover acquisition.
