Season 4, Episode 20: Welcome back to Keeping it Real with Dr. Kuehl. This week Dr. Kuehl focuses on China.

ASA Chief Economist Dr. Chris Kuehl is back with his weekly economic update podcast. In Season 4, Episode 20 (7:21 in length), Dr. Kuehl talks to members about a member question / comment regarding China.

• Why is China so highly spoken about in politics?
• How can we react to China when they have the second biggest economy in the world?    
• What is the difference between a command economy and a market economy?
• What is China’s number one priority?
• What happens when China overproduces something?     
• Could a possible solution be to use the funds collected through tariffs to provide grants and incentives to domestic manufacturers of the same or adjacent products?
• How do we become more competitive in the global marketplace?
• China buries tons of their “cheap” money into their products so that they can be dumped into western economies at prices that are incomprehensible. Why don’t we find a way to use their money to level the playing field?
