So we have reports about Chinese authorities rationing power to meet environmental goals. So we may have another bit of inflation from Chinese manufactured goods shortages to add on top of energy price and labour shortage inflation? The cynical part of me wonders if China wants to try to exacerbate inflation in the west to see what happens, but I am sure they want a cleaner environment. Those reforms look painful - maybe one thing at a time would be better for the people?

Captain Barnacles, You are right. It does seem that China is trying to do too much at the same time. Perhaps Xi is worried about reform fatigue settling in so he decides to kick off a Big Bang across many areas. Perhaps the standoff with the US makes him think that time is not on his side. It is also possible that this is easier to do politically as everyone is made to suffer a little.
