Digging into China

In this Digging into China episode, we analyze the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit and Beijing’s military parade, showcasing China’s ambition to lead an anti-U.S. coalition and reshape global order. However, domestic crises—youth unemployment over 20%, a collapsing real estate sector, and $13 trillion in local debt—expose vulnerabilities, with “lying flat” reflecting social disillusionment. Regionally, the SCO’s lack of unity, exacerbated by Iran’s weakened state post-U.S. strikes and North Korea’s rising role, undermines China’s leadership. A hot mic moment during the parade, capturing leaders discussing longevity and biotechnology, drew global attention, highlighting personal ambitions amid strategic posturing. These events reveal a gap between China’s bold vision and its fragile domestic and regional foundation, raising questions about its ability to challenge U.S. hegemony. Join us for a 2,000-word exploration of these tensions.
