It's this time of the year again when we present to you the future outlook for many of the world's issues, regions, and economies, and today we focus mainly on China.

 

China faces two main issues this year, a slowing economy, and the Taiwan problem. 

 

It's clear that China's economy is still reeling from the aftermath of the Covid 19 pandemic, in addition to the real estate crisis that threatened to bankrupt major real estate companies, with foreign investments exiting the economy at a dangerous pace. 

 

Recently, Chinese President Xi Jinping admitted that the country is facing a difficult situation during his new year speech, and that some people are having troubles finding jobs and covering basic needs. 

 

He asserted his full focus on fixing such issues and bolster economic momentum. 

 

It's the first time that Jinping has mentioned such economic challenges at yearly messages. 

 

Xinping also touched in Taiwan, which Beijing vows to annex someday as it considers it already a rogue territory of mainland China, opening the door for the use of force to reannex Taiwan. 

 

Taiwan is preparing for crucial presidential elections in January which is heavily weighed down by Chinese concerns and constant threats. 

 

It's possible an anti-China candidate might win the elections according to initial polls, which would only increase tensions in the region, and could threaten a genuine war. 

 

In other news, Chinese president Xi Jinping held a summit meeting with US President Joe Biden last November, which helped to soothe the relationship between both sides. 

 

However, structural difference threaten to ignite economic conflict once more between both countries.
