It is clear that inflation rates vary significantly from country to country. In some countries, like China and Taiwan, inflation is relatively low, while in others it is quite high. This data suggests that people's purchasing power varies widely across the globe.

That’s a lie because look at your buying power. Don’t let them con you when you see how much stuff is and that you can’t afford food. A pack of charmin tp is 23 bucks when 3 years ago it was 9.59

Did China really successfully cancel inflation?

chetoman1 t1_j67i8jf wrote

This is the real answer. Chinese people were literally fuckin locked in their homes unable to even buy food, and the Chinese government barely printed a single dollar. Hell they even encouraged the US to keep going on their destructive path by saying the rate increases were dangerous.

Why the fuck would they have high inflation? I do suspect their rate will rise to about 2-2.5% as they just recently abandoned zero covid only a month and a half ago.

Wouldn't agree to Switzerland data! Fuel up 30% near barrel at same levels as where it was 30% lower. Pack of Mozzarella from 1.60 and 200g to 2.69 and 170g, same with most other food. Electricity bill up 40%, literally everything went up for at least 20%!

The Chinese Yuan may likely be the strongest currency in the next 1 to 2 years. I also read there is a lot of pent up savings and demand that the citizens hold, but ibalso think the government will control that if they have to.

Great but compare US inflation to the pay decrease percentage of jobs. The only jobs going up right now are jobs that out people in the higher class. Your typical job that you see people working are continuing to lower causing the separation between the classes to widen. Rich will stay rich. Poor will become poorer.

Not just that, but you have economies like India with a huge % of the world population that are booming just like China in 2008, actually China was coming to the end of it's bull run back then but India (and countries like Nepal and Bangladesh in its sphere of influence) are just getting started.

> and the Chinese government barely printed a single dollar

The Chinese RMB is pegged to the USD, so whilst they weren't printing money (to prevent their property market overinflating even more than it already did), it did fuck the country in other ways.

You can't have a pegged currency and not keep in step with the currency you're pegged to via both interest rates and liquidity, without causing a major economic crisis.

chetoman1 t1_j69ug3t wrote

Yeah it may be a double edged sword but the sharp end that’s aimed at China is rather dull. The number of countries that increased their yuan holdings while limiting or even reducing their USD is baffling. All while China has lower inflation (regardless of the peg) and reopening prospects. They urged the US to keep their rates low as fuck because arguably we’re cutting off our own limbs here in the states while China suffered a mere paper cut.

Funny living in the UK now everyone atleast on Reddit acts like it’s so much better than the US but going to an elite uni for grad school with over half grad students almost none of us plan on staying in London/UK because of the direction we feel the country is going plus the low wages.

Turkey is still cutting interest rates and claiming that will keep inflation low by "stimulating the economy". Meanwhile they're quietly dumping foreign reserves to try and keep it from hitting triple digits and trading handjobs to China and Russia for currency swaps. This is what happens when a central bank is run by the president's family.

I give it maybe 5 years before Turkey is basically Venezuela. Sooner if AK somehow loses an election and all their bullshit comes crashing down.

Ignoring that cpi data is fudged to make the gov look as good as possible, all this means is the rate of inflation is accelerating slower than it was last year, not that it’s stopping, or reversing the effects it’s had.

Why is China inflation so low? Also learned their government has subsidized home construction and rehabs. Watched a YouTube and they all live in these massive 10k sq Ft 3-4 story homes. When asked why poor rural areas could afford massive homes they said govt pays for it all.

This was mostly retirees. Grandma and grandpa only with massive 4 story gated homes. They have green vans that give everyone rides around town. Just saying it didn’t look that bad compared to the poor infrastructure we have here. I’m certain Congress is to blame raping tax payers in every omnibus bill while media keeps us all confused sleight of hand.
