Fund manager Amundi shifts assets from US to China​

Paris-based firm attracted by valuations and says investors have priced in ‘too much risk’

Europe’s largest asset manager Amundi is moving out of US assets in favour of China, attracted by the country’s brighter economic prospects, better valuations and a more benign outlook for inflation.
Vincent Mortier, chief investment officer of the Paris-based fund firm, which has €2.1tn in assets, thinks “too much risk” is priced into Chinese credit and high-quality companies, while markets in the US are “too optimistic” as a recession looms.
“In our allocations we have made a clear shift from west to east,” Mortier said in an interview with the Financial Times, predicting that the US economy will not grow next year while China, India and Indonesia will each grow by 5 to 6 per cent.

So all of the sudden now COVID-19 wasn't a lab leak?

Frankly this is more about the US doesn't want third world countries to have modern infrastructure that would put the US into shame. They said the same things about China after economic reforms. Americans would say they didn't like seeing China modernizing. They wanted to see China like seeing animals at a zoo living in their fake natural environments.

truely incredible deplomatic vision! Tang had great relationship and integration with central Asia. Establishing historical and cultural affinity is a brilliant move on China's part. Xi's deplomatic team is simply the best in today's world.

I But I have heard from a friend living in china that the ultra feminism in some tier 1 cities is quite bad. They are just as radical as the south Korean ones.

She claims that Most of these ultra feminism is being spread by American or western aligned NGOs in University campuses. If this is true I hope the party cracks down heavily and brutally on such groups to prevent a similar situation to the one happening in south Korea. At the same time if there's tension between the two genders the party must take the initiative to resolve the crisis swiftly.

I feel that this is an attempt by the west and america to slowly destroy cohesion of Chinese society, like a sort of spiritual warfare.
I have heard the same. This together with a foreign religion that are spreading are a great danger to the country. They should be closely monitored and controlled and values that counter them be actively encouraged. But I fear it is a bit too late.

You think that's a small number? LOL Compare with how many Americans are undocumented doing menial labor in Mexico, then you'll see how big the number is. And Mexico doesn't stop Americans from coming in unlike the other way around.

A lot of Americans go to Mexico for tourism perhaps the largest any where in the world. I am not sure Mexico tracks American with menial work. I consider Mexico a competent country that can receive so much Air traffic. Hispanic are upto 40% of US Construction industry which has highest wages in the world. so not every thing is menial. If i take your logic that so many Mexican working in menial jobs in US and Mexico still has such large Tourism industry. than how come Mexico become US largest Trade partner surpassing much larger GDP Canada. This is called strong demographic.

You have a funny imagination while asking others for proof and numbers. White farm owners, Mexican workers. Chinese restaurant owners, Mexican workers. Korean supermarket owners, Mexican workers. We all have family/historic connections with Mexicans LOLOL
upto 1.6m Americans reside in Mexico based on State Department and many more goes there for Tourism. even bad reputation of security cannot stop Americans from going there. This is called Soft Power of Mexico.

No more exports to the US. It's not hard for Mexico to increase the value of its currency; its whether or not it was the correct choice for the economy and that remains to be seen.
Mexico exports are strong. You dont have any answer how come Mexico currency got strong when Mexico Population is growing when next door US supposed to have much higher GDP per capita. It should have drained Mexico of people and skills.
Your link gives absolutely no data about what percentage of people are from where. It's 100% your imagination that the majority of people entering the US through Mexico aren't Mexicans. You. Are. STUPID.
Read my answer above.
Also, it's not even the point. I just randomly selected a whole bunch of countries, Mexico being one, to represent nations where people usually desire to immigrate to America for better living conditions. Even if it's not Mexico, my point is still there. It's really not debatable that immigrants come to America for a better life. This debate is a total waste of time because of your lack of basic knowledge.
i am saying where you get data those Mexican are the one looking for comfortable office Jobs that pay enough to have decent housing. This what you started with Korea/Japan lacking that comfortable 9 to 5 jobs to afford decent housing and than blame it on lack of demographic strength. If Mexico can keep there Software developers inside Mexico than i would call it a success story and real developed country.
Are you really so stupid and ignorant that you thought it would be hard to find this information?

No, they represent labor availability and cost.
There is the graph in your data look it closely. It is barely 5% of Mexico population after 2010. It can have many reason like hiding from law enforcement in Mexico. Any country next to US with 5% movement is understandable over a decade if that country domestic population practically doubled since 1980.

You are the stupidest person here; you think Musk isn't smart??? LOL The dude created Tesla from his own electrical engineering PhD. You're over here pretending Mexicans don't want to enter the US for a better life, but for soft power... from a country that hates Mexicans. You are stupid, not him.

Ok
He created Tesla but you dont see the consequences of his creating Tesla in Silicon valley. it is like sucking people away from other more important things in a overpriced location. I cannot think of any dumb manufacturing CEO than him. Not just his choice of expensive locations like Berlin and California but also state with among highest wage growth.

Texas Town With Biggest US Pay Raise Keeps Powell on Hiking Path​

  • Midland goes from top US inflation rate to fastest wage growth
He scouted many places for his investment and decided against Japan for demographic reasons. Soft power is not in sight.
It is Soft Power Influence that he made the decision.
$200B investment. Money = hard power.
$200B converted into Soft Power of FIFA broadcasting. It is all about Soft image building.
They have no leverage with the West. They can get banned if they piss off the West. That's it.
Sure those trillions wasted in Mideast no one else can repeat it.
Turkey+India=Arab leverage...? Your whole sentence makes no sense. I'm quite sure your "brain" is mashed potatos.
Arabs dont want those planes thats why they were relegated to second tier nations of Turkey and India. Arab are pressuring to get as much wide body Airplanes. but on there own modifications that may be deeper technically than we understand.
Yes? Why not? LOL No conflict, nobody cares. What can Qatar do that Kuwait cannot? Throwing money into and supporting Western events for favor is not soft power; it's submitting yourself to others.
The people travel to Mideast from many countries. and foot ball players they signed up are not all from Northern Europe. you are basically clue less.
Because the Germans went from "Master Race" inventing the best war machines in the world to being America's bitch talking about liberal values right after they got their asses beat.
Germans feel that Soft Power is more important than Hard Power. Its America that is digging its ground to power Europe. Germany ideologically going green. it never really wanted LNG terminals. Thats why it asked France for Pipeline from Spain.
What soft power? Taking US orders is the only thing Germany has been doing. Imposing? It hasn't done that since 1945.
you have evidence of they taking orders or its German soft power that set direction for western consensus.
It's bound by it's WWII commitment to never chase offensive military power. The only hard power it can chase is economic, and now that's crippled. Soft power? What soft power? It gets ordered around by the US and EU and can't even build its own country.
so how come they signed up for Fighter with France if they cannot chase offensive military power?.
Once again, you confused increase salaries with soft power. People go for the money. I have never heard of any Dubai soft power. What can it do and what is the proof?
salaries on those ranges are for top developers. they can have any other place and not deal with desert weather.
Extremely stupid and untrue comment. What level? People get paid hundreds of millions of dollars as CEO.
Money is money. Those driven by ideology/nationalism will work for their own country no matter what. Your soft power is useless to persuade them. Those driven by money sell themselves to the highest bidder. Only the hard power of money will persuade them. Soft power is useless as always.
so ideology is not Soft Power?.
To. create. a. sustainable. long. war???? Who wants that?? Countries want swift overwhelming victories. That is achieved by hard power. If, for some reason, you wanted to sustain a conflict, you also need the hard power to continuously supply your troops. There is no room or need soft power. That's like talking to your enemy while he's killing you. It's stupid.
First you need to understand swift victory is not desirable in every circumstance or the cost of swift victory can be enormous. we are dealing with 21st century demographics where every life is more premium than any time. Just adding body armor or some electronics to a human can deplete human physical stamina.
