However, instead of rejoicing over soaring numbers, Chinese academic Peng Shengyu warns that huge exports also point to a great loss of domestically created material wealth flowing overseas. He says by unreservedly supplying China-made goods to the US who has the power to print money in abandon, and leaving wealth accumulation in the hands of individuals, the Chinese government has not done enough to improve the lives of its people, especially the poor." 2021/10/05,ThinkChina,"China’s central bank digital currency has huge potential, but be careful of overregulation",Pei Sai Fan,https://www.thinkchina.sg/chinas-central-bank-digital-currency-has-huge-potential-be-careful-overregulation,"Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) can potentially optimise and vastly improve the central bank’s monetary policy transmission with preset conditions to incorporate forward-looking and counter-cyclical features.

From the economic perspective, there is much for all members to gain with China’s entry, but they would also be wary of certain aspects such as threats to their domestic industries and issues concerning intellectual property standards and regulatory non-tariff barriers.

In fact, Evergrande missed paying its bond interest due on 29 September, in its second unpaid offshore debt payment in a week.
