As I travel through Asia, one thing is clear. IT'S HOT, and it's getting hotter. Currently, the region is seeing temperatures well above historic averages, but what's more striking to me is how far ABOVE daily low temperatures are from their averages.

As US/ EU > China unload the next round of tariffs and countermeasures, the lives of CEOs and supply chain executives in China once again go full white-knuckle. #whatdoesntkillya #jiayou

Listening to US/ Aussie auto execs talk about Chinese EV in an airport. Good lord. Without their governments saving their asses they’d be out of business. But here’s the lesson from 90s/ 00s.. the tariffs eventually go away and the market is lost.

Seeing the bus loads of police on Shanghai;s streets takes me back to the days that ended the lockdown, and the months of heavy police presence to make sure no one occupied the streets for months. It's surreal.

Not sure who else is seeing this, but there has been a significant shift in police presence in Shanghai this week. Seen multiple areas of town where buses of police sit along the road waiting for “something”.

Ever since a Korean influencer questioned why Shanghai didn’t have any nice cars, Anfu/ Wujiang has become a place to showcase nice rides. It’s drawn huge crowds…..To the point Anfu was closed today.

After years of watching Chinese authorities black screen objectionable CNN content, it’s refreshing to see how Vietnam adds music to the experience!

For those of you looking for another data point in the end of China’s economic miracle, look no further than share workspaces. Centers are being closed, and major brands are advertising per desk rental at 50% of pre-Covid cost. It’s a great time to be a tenant!

Not sure how far along transition is, or whether China will achieve vision for "mega-sized" consumer economy, but I often speak about seeing potential for US style 80s boom post-COVID. I still think it's possible. finance.yahoo.com/news/china-bui…
