“China is far weaker than people expect um despite the fact that it has you know managed to push its Trade Surplus to about a trillion dollars which appears to be an incredible amount of strength the flip side of that is just remembering that that's really telling you that their internal demand is actually not capable of rising to meet the productive capability that they have”
