While China continues to post historic trade surpluses and build strategic domestic resilience-particularly through its aggressive electric vehicle build-out and reduced oil vulnerability-its growth model faces mounting structural stress. Beijing’s strategy of subsidising supply and state-directed manufacturing while domestic household consumption remains subdued has triggered sharp resistance across Washington and Brussels.
At the same time, Beijing’s ambitions for yuan internationalisation continue to encounter the hard ceiling of strict capital controls and the deep liquidity of the US dollar system. Tony Fiddis unpacks the systemic contradictions at the heart of China’s modern state-capitalist machine, exploring how domestic demand deficits and external tariffs are turning internal strengths into international flashpoints ahead of critical high-level diplomatic engagements.
