Evergrande, energy and the tech crackdown – is investing in China just too risky?

The headlines about China’s economy are not encouraging right now. From the potential collapse of one of the world’s most indebted companies, ghost cities being demolished and a crackdown on tech, education and more, many investors are wondering whether it’s time to get out.

Platinum Investment’s Julian McCormack joins the podcast to discuss:

• Whether Evergrande could prove China’s ‘Lehmann moment’ (ie crash the global economy)
• Why a tech crackdown was inevitable, and what it means for investors
• How an ageing population will affect China’s economy
• Why Chinese markets attract ‘breathless reporting’, and
• Whether valuations are attractive relative to other developed markets.
