1/N）系列推：中国房价下跌会引起金融危机吗？

2021底个人房贷¥38.3万亿，一年新增¥3.8万亿；商品房销售¥16万亿，房贷占约25%。调查显示：买房平均首付50%；二套房首付40-60%。房贷¥38.3万亿 vs 总房地产敞口¥62万亿。

因首付高，房价下跌*应该难直接*导致金融危机。 2/N）西南财大调查显示，中国家庭有房无贷的近50%，近20%有房有贷，30%租房。与大城市里住房拥有率>70%基本一致。

也就是说，20%有贷款的家庭，首付>50%，因此中国房贷并非次贷。同时，20%家庭～¥40万亿房贷/50%=¥80万亿房产值，中国住宅房产总值约¥400万亿，与之前估的¥400-500万亿总值一致。

系列推：中国出口有多强？

1/N）最近很多人质疑中国出口的真实情况。在投资、消费、地方财政收入一片惨淡的情况下，出口一枝独秀，增速大超预期，顺差历史新高，并与PMI出口新订单萎缩的情况背离。

二季度GDP增长0.4%，出口拉动了1%。换而言之，没有出口，GDP就萎缩了。 2/N）在强劲出口拉动下，7月顺差历史新高1000亿美元，今年头七个月累计顺差4800亿美元，而去年全年才6800亿美元（取整）

然而，今年以来外汇储备减少了1200亿美元，外汇存款减少了700亿美元，共近2000亿美元。今年非美货币贬值>5%，但汇率变化不足以解释顺差和外汇积累的背离。

1/N：为什么中国房地产这两年问题这么多？1987-2021，中国城镇人口从2.75亿到9亿，新增6.25亿人口 x 35-40平米/人=220-250亿平米；同期，中国商品房销售累计231亿平米。供给～=需求。

Why Chinese property in trouble: 1987-2021 urban pop +625m x 37sqm/p ~=230m sqm; home sales = 231m sqm 2/N：2021年 出生人数1062万，死亡人数1014，出生～=死亡。中国总人口或停止增长。这时，房地产供需成为了存量问题，开始考虑新增供给vs需求。

2021 new brith 10.62m, death 10.14m, pop growth stopped at ~14.1bn. Now, we can start to look at property incremental supply vs demand.

1/🧵Why US Labor Participation (LPR) so low? Look at its uncanny correlation with CNY. It gives a new perspective.

LPR peaked ~2001 when China entered WTO. As China ascended to a manufacturing superpower, US LPR fell in tandem, labor force shrank.

Did China steal US jobs? 2/🧵 Or we could say China “swapped out” US jobs. Ricardo thought countries gain by trading with respective comparative advantages.

But if U is at top of supply chain while C at bottom, U’s low-end jobs are permanently lost, while C supplies cheaper but not better products.

1/🧵China income data reveal new reality of “Common Prosperity”:

- Of 1,400m people, 964m <¥2k/month ($300), 547m < ¥1k ($150), only 70m people pay tax at min taxable income ¥5k/month ($770);

- ¥18k p.a. (56th %) x 2.62 pp/Household = ¥47k/HH = $7,255/HH (4th % US HH income). 洪灝 @HaoHong_CFA: 中国人年收入统计 2/🧵 Only 0.7m/1.4bn population at 100th% income earning ¥240k p.a. ($37k) x 2.62pp/HH = $96.7k p.a./HH ~66% US HH income.

Consistent with CICC, NBS shows national income ¥35.1k/p.a. x 1.4bn ppl = ¥49tn, 45% of ¥110tn GDP - low globally.

稳住经济大盘会议感想：1）讨论了经济面临的下行压力，“努力确保二季度经济正增长”。特别提到五月克强指数运输量、贷款、用电量为负，失业率历史次高，超千万高校毕业生。08年GDP<3，但没有失业，现在情况不一样。“稳增长、稳就业、稳物价”，前两个目标面临挑战（1/N） 2）财政继续边际发力，主要通过退税2.64万亿 vs 政府工作报告2.5万亿。总理特别讨论了地方偷税漏税严重，导致“政策变形”；困难户社保推迟。经济差，税收也少了，二季度多地税收锐减一半，也导致了计算上货币供应增速上升的现象（2/N）
