China's Longer Bonds Fall on Bets Mega Dam May Support Economy

China's Longer Bonds Fall on Bets Mega Dam May Support Economy

Bloomberg5 days ago
China's longer tenor government bonds fell amid waning demand for haven assets as investors saw the launch of a 1.2 trillion yuan ($167 billion) mega-dam project in Tibet providing more support to the economy.
Futures on China's 30-year government bonds fell as much as 0.5% on Monday to hit the lowest in six weeks, while some of the nation's power and construction stocks jumped. The launch of the hydropower plant which is estimated to cost more than four times that for Three Gorges — world's largest power project — promises an economic jolt for sectors like construction, cement and steel and boost the economy.

Odd Lots: How a Trade War With China Could Become a Hot War

Tension between the US and China has been building for some time. But so far this has been limited to issues of trade. The US has imposed tariffs on China. It's imposed restrictions on technology exports. In turn, China has imposed some of its own tariffs, and also limited the export of things like rare earth metals. But historically speaking, many hot wars have their roots in some kind of trade-related tensions between nations. So the risk exists that a trade war one day becomes a hot war. So how does this happen, and how can it be avoided? On this episode, we speak with Dale Copeland, a professor of international relations at the University of Virginia. He discusses his theories of trade, and we discuss his most recent book, "A World Safe for Commerce: American Foreign Policy From the Revolution to the Rise of China," which specifically discusses the prospect for an outright US-China confrontation.
