We look at China’s August industrial profit data, which expanded just 4.2 percent, signaling a deceleration that threatens to export deflationary pressure while simultaneously trapping global supply chains in a high-cost, low-growth loop. This episode explores how manufacturing margins under pressure create a unique stagflationary feedback loop for the rest of the world.
