1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: Good morning. 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 2: I'm Brian Curtins and I'm Doug Krisner. Here are the 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 2: stories we're following today. 4 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: The US is reportedly looking to restrict China's access to 5 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: cloud computing to protect some advanced technology. To get the 6 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: story from Bloomberg, Scott Car. 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 3: It's a move that could further strain relations between the countries, 8 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 3: people familiar tell dow Jones. The new rule, if adopted 9 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 3: by the Biden administration, would likely require US cloud service 10 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 3: providers like Amazon and Microsoft to receive US permission before 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 3: they can provide cloud computing services that use advanced AI 12 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 3: chips to Chinese customers. Beijing on Monday announced its new 13 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 3: export restrictions on metals used in advanced chip making. The 14 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 3: move by the US administration is seen as a means 15 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 3: to close a significant loophole. As analysts Warren, Chinese AI 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 3: companies may have bypassed export controls by using cloud services 17 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 3: to gain powerful computing capabilities in Washington, Scott Car, Bloomberg, 18 00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 3: Daybreak Asia. 19 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: Meantime, the Chin Chinese government has postponded trip to Beijing 20 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: by Europe's top diplomat, Joseph Barrell. We have that story 21 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 2: from Bloomberg zavon Men in Hong Kong. 22 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 4: Joseph Barrell's trip has been due next week. No details 23 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 4: were given for the postponement, but it comes at a 24 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 4: time when China is taking its trade fight to Europe. 25 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 4: Beijing's decision to restrict mineral exports will hit key sectors 26 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 4: in Europe's effort to decarbonise its economy, and it demonstrates 27 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 4: the limits of Western aspirations to shift supply chains beyond China. 28 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 4: But the restrictive measure is a double edged sword. It 29 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 4: may simply accelerate efforts by other countries to reduce dependence 30 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 4: on China. It could lead the West to boost's output 31 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 4: of the medals in places like Japan, Canada, and the US. 32 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 4: In Hong Kong, i'm ivon Mann Bloomberg day Break Asia. 33 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: China's top EV maker, BYD, will build its first manufacturing 34 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: hub outside Asia in Brazil. Bloomberg's Bonniao has more from 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: Hong Kong. 36 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 5: BYD will be interesting six hundred and twenty four million 37 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 5: dollars for the electric car plants in Brazil. The decision 38 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 5: comes as the Chinese giant seeks to extend its geographical reach. 39 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 5: That's as the EV industry is experiencing a global search 40 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 5: in sales, but so was looking to deepen ties with 41 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 5: China and to top companies to invest in the country. 42 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 5: This plant is expected to start operating in twenty twenty 43 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 5: four in Hong Kong. I'm bonni Al Bloomberg day Break Asia. 44 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: Meantime, Tesla's sales output in China soared nearly twenty percent 45 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: in the month of June. China's Passenger Car Association saying 46 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: today Tesla shipped more than ninety three thousand vehicles from 47 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: its factory in chung Hi last month. Now, the PCA 48 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: did not break out local deliveries versus exports. However, Tesla 49 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 2: typically focuses on the domestic market in the last month 50 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 2: of each quarter. Tesla gained momentum at the beginning of 51 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 2: the year when it cut prices of its Model three 52 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 2: sedans and Model Y SUVs, but it quickly faced pressure 53 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: from some local competitors in China as they followed suit 54 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 2: with steep discounts. After a price war, deliveries began to 55 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 2: pick up again, and now the overall market for new 56 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: energy vehicles is looking very strong. 57 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: Brian all right, Doug, Well, it's very interesting the relationship 58 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: between Europe and China, and we had a few new 59 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: developments overnight as well, which we just mentioned. Also, Maderna 60 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: will announce its first investment in China, perhaps as soon 61 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: as today, and that comes to about a billion dollars, 62 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: which is a pretty big investment. You know, this postponement 63 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: doug of the trip by Joseph Barrell to Europe. It's 64 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: not directly connected yet. We don't know some of the 65 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: details on this because the Chinese government didn't give details. 66 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: But there is this a move by China to restrict 67 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: the export of key metals and that could have a 68 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: big impact on Europe in its efforts to decarbonize the economy. 69 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: So it's interesting this may push more countries further away 70 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: from China, may have the opposite effect perhaps that China 71 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: had hoped for, because these metals can be produced in 72 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: places like Japan, Belgium, in the United States. 73 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 2: So I was reading a position paper that I was 74 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: able to access through the Bloomberg terminal. It came from 75 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: the BDI German Industrial Association. It was saying that Germany 76 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: and Europe's dependency on these minerals, these raw materials from 77 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: China is already greater than oil and natural gas from Russia. 78 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: So there's got to be a real effort now, I think, 79 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: at least if you listen to what we're hearing from 80 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: leaders on the continent in Europe, not just in Germany, 81 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: but more broadly, even in Brussels. I think we had 82 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: the Dutch government saying the EU must respond to these 83 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: new rules. So there's a real concern now that China 84 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: may be getting some type of upper hand when it 85 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: comes to critical mineral exports. 86 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: Well. As mentioned though, some of these minerals can be 87 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: produced elsewhere, it's just that they would probably cost more 88 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: and that would definitely raise costs in the production. And 89 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: it's interesting that Josip Brow was due to visit on 90 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: Monday next week and so that has been postponed. You've 91 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: got Jenny Yellen supposedly arriving I think tomorrow in China, 92 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: so it sets up very interesting. We'll get to more 93 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: on all of this all throughout the show today, but 94 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: now it's time for global news. Hong Kong Chief executive 95 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: John Lee has laid out some of the principles behind 96 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: Hong Kong's effort to prosecute eight residents who have fled 97 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: Hong Kong, and he takes it one step further, saying 98 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: that Hong Kong will pursue them for life. Let's get 99 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: to Ed Baxter with more on this story and others. 100 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 6: Ed Yeah quote a story Brian we started covering yesterday. 101 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 6: Li says the bounties of one hundred and twenty eight 102 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 6: thousand dollars for information is warranted in order to uphold 103 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 6: principles of Hong Kong. 104 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 7: And endangering national security is not something we will tolerate. 105 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 7: Hong Kong's national sitory law is one of the many 106 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 7: laws in other countries. 107 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 6: Yeah Li says to other countries will help and taking 108 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 6: extra territorial actions to protect international law. NATO Secretary General 109 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 6: Jan Stoltenberg has agreed to another year after Member States 110 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 6: agreed to extend his term. NATO statement says it's important 111 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 6: to continue the work of the military alliance to fight 112 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 6: Russia's invasion of Ukraine. As China ups its criticism of 113 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 6: the japan release of treated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear 114 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 6: power plant disaster, the IAEA today says proposals to gradually 115 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 6: control fashion do not pose a threat to the Asian nations. 116 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 6: It says quote, it would have a negligible radiological impact 117 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 6: on people and the environment. US President Joe Biden, marking 118 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 6: the fourth of July thanking teachers for their work this 119 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 6: at the National Education Association conference, also criticized lawmakers for 120 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 6: not adequately handling the issue of guns in school. 121 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 3: Arming teachers is not the answer. Arming teachers not the answer, 122 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: Ben is. 123 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: Soul weapons and high capacity magazines, extensive background checks. They're 124 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 2: part of the answer. 125 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, Biden says, teachers are the champions in our society. 126 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 6: Emilia Macron has pledged swift government support to help mayors 127 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 6: rebuild schools, libraries, and town halls destroyed during the week 128 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 6: of isolence that swept across France last week. Thousands of 129 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 6: insurance claims are pouring in. The cost of video of 130 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 6: rebuilding estimated at more than one point one billion dollars. 131 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 6: Global News powered by more than twenty seven hundred journalists 132 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 6: and analysts in over one hundred twenty countries. In San Francisco, 133 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 6: I'm at Baxter and this is Bloomberg. 134 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 8: I'm joined by Nick schun Maker, client portfolio manager at 135 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 8: Drummond Capital Partner's right here in the Sydney studio and 136 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 8: Nick because we're here signed by side, let's start with 137 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 8: the big Australian story of the moment. The BA on polls. 138 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 8: It was a really tough, cool yesterday's right decision. But 139 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 8: there we are four point one percent no change. Does 140 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 8: it make sense though in a way, because we've got 141 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 8: some important data coming up at the end of the month. 142 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. 143 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 9: Look, I think there's different arguments for any instant. We 144 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 9: did see some softening in the recent inflation data here, 145 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 9: so it certainly seems like inflation has peaked and it's 146 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 9: coming down like we're seeing globally. The terminal rate pricing 147 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 9: for the RBA now is about four point five percent, 148 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 9: so market pricing is indicating one or two more hikes 149 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 9: from here. I think in terms of the very lagged 150 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 9: and veriable nature of monetary policy, due to that, you know, 151 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 9: having a pause now just to give households some breathing room, 152 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 9: I think made sense. So a couple more hikes to go, 153 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 9: I think we're going to see, probably less than what 154 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 9: we're going to see for the Bank of England. We've 155 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 9: probably got to one hundred bases points of hikes to 156 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 9: go there. But if you look at where most developed 157 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 9: market central banks are the US, New Zealand, the Bank 158 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 9: of England. They're all above five percent, and our inflation 159 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 9: still is very material, so it does make sense that 160 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 9: we have another couple of hikes to come from. 161 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: Here, Nick, we have a little bit of a tid 162 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: schedule here. I do want to talk a little bit 163 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: about Europe, China and US China and maybe Australia China. 164 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: But just to follow on from the comments about the 165 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: pies from the IRBA equity markets, they seem poised to 166 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: be moving beyond the central bank. So it may be 167 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: a little too soon to say that, but people are 168 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: starting to kind of see the finish line, do you 169 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: see it that way? 170 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 9: So investors have certainly cheered the better trade off with 171 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 9: inflation this year, and as you're alluding to, one of 172 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 9: the big risks last year was when do we reach 173 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 9: maximum central bank or FED fear and all getting closer 174 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 9: to that now. I think this year, you know, as 175 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 9: we've seen very narrow market leadership through technology, and some 176 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 9: of that's very warranted. You know, we've got this now 177 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 9: AI boom and it could be something like we saw 178 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 9: with the PC revolution in the nineteen nineties. So there's 179 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 9: a lot of reasons to be optimistic, but there's also 180 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 9: a lot of reasons to remain cautious, just given again 181 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 9: that narrow market leadership, the fact that it does seem 182 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 9: very likely that over the next year sometime we will 183 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 9: be heading into a recession. If nothing else, just given 184 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 9: the very strong performance in the first half of the year, 185 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 9: you'd expect some profit taking, probably in those megacap technology names. 186 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 9: And we have started to see a bit of a 187 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 9: broadening out in market leadership over recent weeks. But we 188 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 9: know again this year just that narrow market leadership does 189 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 9: mean that all other things being equable, are quite susceptible 190 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 9: to some pullback. 191 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 8: From here, there is a sense that we're reaching Pea 192 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 8: crates and many developed markets now. But I guess the 193 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 8: next chapter and the story is how long do we 194 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 8: stay at Pea crates And if we do get a recession, well, 195 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 8: are we going to get some cards? 196 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: Yeah? 197 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 9: It depends. Look, first of all, I'd say emerging markets 198 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 9: if we look at them in isolation for a second, 199 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 9: So we were seeing emerging market central banks hike will 200 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 9: in advance of developing markets. So central banks started to 201 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 9: hike in early first cord of two thousand and one. 202 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 9: In emerging markets. We have started to see Vietnam and 203 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 9: Hungary cut rates in emerging market, so that's coming off 204 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 9: very high levels, and we're probably likely to see Latin 205 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 9: American central banks cutting there sooner than later as well. 206 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 9: So in terms of the developed market complex, look at it. 207 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 9: When we've got labor markets being as tight as they are, 208 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 9: I still think there's the market underestimating the risk of 209 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 9: how sticky core inflation is, particularly in the US, so 210 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 9: it's hard to see any cuts coming in the shorter term. 211 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 9: If you look at our local Reserve Bank of Australia, 212 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 9: they're not expecting cuts throughout most of next year. 213 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: So we really have to be watching out data, watching 214 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: the data for sure. Let's talk a little bit about 215 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: geopolitics because we have Europe and China very much in 216 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: focus today and I already mentioned Australia, China, US China 217 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: which Annie Yellen arriving this week. Is China in a 218 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: delicate position here in its relations with the worst. 219 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 9: I bet it's in a very delicate position with its 220 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 9: relations in the West, and it has been increasingly for 221 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 9: some time. I mean, we've spoken before about just the 222 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 9: more nationalistic tendencies of the Chinese regime as you have 223 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 9: more economic pain within their local economy. You've seen again 224 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 9: this year, despite the loosening and regulatory regulation around the 225 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 9: property sector and technology last year, we're really starting to 226 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 9: see the property sector falter now in China and it's 227 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 9: about a quarter of their GDP. Not to mention issues 228 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 9: with demographics, so that GDP growth is below tread now 229 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 9: in China. And absolutely there's the technology war, there's the 230 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 9: war of words. We are going to see ongoing geopolitical 231 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 9: risk flares in that region and increasingly so I think 232 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 9: is safe to say. 233 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 8: Just ten seconds to put money to work. Can China 234 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 8: right now or just stand back for a bit. 235 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 9: We have a small allocation. It's it's not huge, but 236 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 9: we have a small allocation just given the fact that 237 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 9: they are aising policy in terms of each's rights. Have 238 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 9: said that recently and the valuations just looking at the 239 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 9: prost To book is one mains there at that as 240 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 9: cheap as the thing. 241 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,599 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Asia, your morning brief on the 242 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: stories making news from Hong Kong to Singapore and Wall Street. 243 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed every day on Apple, Spotify, 244 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 2: and anywhere else you get your podcasts. 245 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each day on Bloomberg eleven 246 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to 247 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh six to one in Boston, 248 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: and Bloomberg nine sixty in San Francisco. 249 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 250 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,599 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
