25 Year Expat Reveals What China is REALLY Like in 2023
During my recent visit to China, I had the pleasure of sitting down with fellow US citizen Shaun Rein who has lived in Shanghai full time since 1997. Shaun is the Founder and Managing Director of China Market Research Group and a frequent commentator on CNBC and other prominent TV shows discussing China and Geopolitics.
I’ve enjoyed Shaun’s insights over the years for a few reasons. #1 He has been on the ground in China since 1997, nothing beats boots on the ground, real China experience. #2 Shaun speaks fluent Mandarin (which you’ll see in our YouTube interview) and is absolutely crucial to truly understanding how China functions.
While I was traveling through Shanghai, I had the pleasure to join Shaun in his Shanghai office and discuss the following topics in an action packed 20 minute interview:
What's China Like in 2023?
China is Normal and Not Normal Right Now
Why is Consumer Spending Down in China?
How Geopolitics Are Changing Chinese People’s Mind
Chinese Shopping Habits Have Changed
How International Companies Are Looking at China
Can US and China Work Together?
Why China is Turning to Global South
Could Trump Solve US/China Tension?
How Americans Are Being Conditioned to Hate China
Where Should We Criticize China?
Do Chinese Truly Support the Chinese Government?
The Truth About Xinjiang and Uyghur Families
What Do You Want the World to Know About China?
I love this interview because Shaun doesn’t sugar coat anything. He says exactly what is going on in China, how the economy is performing, and shares some incredible insights.
Honestly if you truly want to understand what China is like in 2023, this is THE YouTube video for you to watch!
