So sind in den vergangenen Wochen viele Reports und Studien zu den unterschiedlichsten Facetten Chinas erschienen. Hier eine subjektive Auswahl von Reports und Studien, die seit Ende Juli erschienen sind:

Geopolitik: China rises in an unstable world: Chinese scholarly views on the geopolitical future, von Alexis von Sydow, Report des Swedish National China Centre. 17 Seiten.

Währung: Is China building an alternative monetary system?, von Alicia Garcia Herrero und Haoxin Mu, Asia Macro Insights von Natixis, 13 Seiten. Ihre Schlussfolgerung: „The RMB’s international rise is real but unconventional. It rests on trade settlement, which China’s trade dominance explains, and on funding, which very low domestic interest rates and Chinese banks’ expanding balance sheets explain. It rests equally on infrastructure: CIPS for payments, OmniClear against Euroclear for securities, and possibly a Chinese CLS for currencies.” https://www.research.natixis.com/Site/fr/latest-publications/publication/DI8TjYvzEeLHVpKBavGEBg%3D%3D
