China launched ¥4 trillion stealth stimulus in May

So says Lang Xianping on his Weibo account. He says the central government launched the stealth stimulus in May, which would help make sense of the June uptick in housing and PMI. Local governments have been furiously implementing the stimulus: Changsha (Hunan) has an ¥829 billion stimulus spread across 195 projects. Xian is planning 9 more subway lines, in addition to the 6 already in operation or planned, which will combine for a total 15 lines and 550 kilometers of rail. Guizhou suddenly announced ¥3 trillion spread over 2300 tourism related projects.

Lang Xingping closes by saying this is like giving a terminally ill patient a shot in the arm, after a period of excitement, [the economy] will sink into an even deeper crisis and the bill for these chaotic investments will be paid by the common people.

郎咸平
中央政府五月悄悄推出新四万亿之后,一如所料,地方官员也开推政绩工程,疯狂建设。例如,长沙自行推出高达8290亿元的195个项目,西安要在规划的六条地铁之外再建9条地铁,贵州竟要投资3万亿发展旅游。这情况就好比给病入膏肓的病人猛打强心针,最终会在短暂兴奋后,陷入更深危机,这些乱投资又得老百姓买单。
