In this brief commentary, Bob Fraser argues that both business and consumer confidence in China have been severely damaged, leading to a slowdown in domestic demand. He warns that these issues are just the beginning and that China will face significant, demographically driven economic challenges for the next 50 to 75 years. Given China's status as the world's second‑largest economy, Fraser contends that this prolonged slowdown will generate substantial ripple effects across the global economy, reshaping expectations about China's future growth.
