You've likely heard a lot about economic troubles in China - but is the reality matching up with the headlines? In episode 160, we've got some interesting guests lined up; Cecilia Tan, CEO at Sasseur REIT, and Alvin Chow, CEO of Dr. Wealth, who are going to reveal the secrets behind the recent buzz surrounding China and its consumer-driven economy. Our guests will have their finger on the pulse from living and working within the markets. They'll reveal some fascinating insights that just might contradict the dominant narrative. How are everyday spending patterns really changing? Are certain luxury items still flying off the shelves? We'll also unpack some of the cultural factors at play when it comes to consumer behaviour. And of course, no China conversation is complete without discussing the hot topic of investing. Our experts will explore whether the perception game is just too powerful right now...or if there may still be opportunities for savvy long term investors. Will the Chinese consumer save the day, as the West hopes? Or is there more to this narrative than meets the eye?
