Is China Relevant to Your Portfolio | News or Noise

China's economy, led by the policies dictated by its general secretary, Xi Jinping, has struggled during the first half of 2022 under the backdrop of his "Zero Covid" mandate in front of the upcoming election. China's political and economic uncertainty comes as Xi prepares to extend his presidency to a third term.

This week we take on the topic of China and its relevance to your money. I'm calling this China, short-term economic weakness, and long-term military strength.

 

Does this news affect your investments? Is it news that you can use to decide when and how to invest? Is this topic Newsworthy and should you be paying attention?

 

As you know, our constant advice for investors is to “tune out the noise.” But sometimes it is hard to know what’s noise and what’s not! That’s what this series is going to be about.

 

Our goal here is to approach these stories and each topic from an independent, investor-first, standpoint, divorce ourselves from personal feelings, emotional bias, or political opinion, and briefly analyze what we believe each story means for long-term investors.

 

These are going to be quick, casual, opinion pieces, and while we will use data to support our view, we will most likely be wrong in our interpretations, at least some of the time. However, we are looking to practice what we preach, and to help investors to rationally and critically analyze emotion-laden stories.

 

So with that said…
