6. Christopher Balding on China stimulus: “I totally understand this idea that China isn’t stimulating but this overlooks a key point. China is effectively in a state of constant stimulus. For instance, government and corporate debt continues to balloon with debt growth roughly continually running 2x nominal GDP growth an entirely unsustainable growth level which it has done for roughly the past decade. So when people talk about stimulus what they are really saying is let’s take stimulus from 30 miles an hour above the speed limit to 60 miles an hour over the speed limit. If total debt growth is 2x nominal GDP growth, what would be considered “stimulative”? 4x? Run the second order numbers on what that means. It’s absolutely crazy. So when people say stimulate, they do not mean stimulate in that they aren’t stimulating now, but that it isn’t having the results desired AND that stimulus would need to enter absolutely absurd levels”
