Shehzad Qazi, the managing director at China Beige Book, pegs the probability of a US-China trade war in 2025 at 100%. He expects Trump to sign tariff legislation on day one of his second term.

In our interview, Shehzad discusses what this means for US-China relations, along with China’s staggering trade surpluses, and how Europe and emerging markets fit into the looming trade war.

We also cover the truth about China’s real estate crisis and the Taiwan problem. Shehzad says Taiwan might be less interested in defending itself against China than many here in the US would like.

What does slower growth in China mean for the global economy? Is India the next China? Can China become a consumer-driven

The prevailing narrative around oil is that a global supply glut and weakening demand from China will continue to keep oil prices down.

The reality is that oil isn’t going away anytime soon.

Josh Young, the founder and CIO at energy investment firm Bison Interests takes us on a world tour of oil-producing nations, explaining why there is “a lot less spare capacity than people think.” That includes capacity from Guyana, which some have called “the next Saudi Arabia.” He also believes the China demand story is overstated.

That old private equity model is mostly extinct. In its place, former Wall Street trader Jared Dillian sees an $8 trillion bubble, built on massive layers of debt across 17,000 private equity firms.

Jared says this bubble poses a systemic threat to the entire financial system, with the potential to implode in ways similar to what we experienced during the 2008 financial crisis. He also explains the opportunities it presents for investors who get ahead of it.

The information tsunami has led to a breakdown in the public’s trust in institutions and the elites in charge. Many of us have sensed this happening for years now, but I believe Gurri has done the best job of articulating the nuances of this phenomenon.
