Key Notes
China's current strategy, in Jiang's answer, is to restructure the game so it is more independent while still operating from its assigned role of resources-to-manufacturing exports.
China faces major headwinds because the Iran war threatens global stability, resource continuity, and the export basis of China’s economy.
Jiang says China is export-dependent, lacks a sufficient domestic consumer base, and needs energy and food imports, which makes a quick arrangement with America strategically attractive.
Jiang says China’s export dependence is its greatest strength and weakness, while Japan-Taiwan-Malacca geography will intensify China-Japan rivalry in 2026.
He says China is Venezuela's main customer, buying roughly 80 percent of its exports and effectively keeping the Venezuelan economy alive.
Jiang argues that because China lacks domestic demand to absorb the subsidized EV output, it must export the excess abroad and sell into Europe at very cheap prices.
Jiang says the United States deliberately built up the Chinese export economy with technology, expertise, and market access so China would become dependent on U.S. dollars.
