so you saw an international perspective to try to explain to a global audience how this could impact the life. this is an important part of the world, and our view is very good at bringing the news to the world from here. in depth analysis of the days headlines from around the world. if i write extremely, there is real and need to be tackled as soon as possible. frank assessments, your guy has failed. it's time to back in you julio. that's why you get to get out of the minute over by the guy and use the informed opinion with dorothy. this is an appointment inside story. on al jazeera, i, china's exports shrink in december as global demand for highlights and concerns

about economic recovery this year. ah mccloud, this is out there in life and also coming up a special counsel is appointed to investigate the discovery of classified documents to you as president former office i. 2 refusing to bang down supporters of peruse, ousted president among new elections, standing up against township tamales on through government. demonstrate against the ah, so we begin in china where the latest economic data is from to fears of a further slow down in the global economy. despite a record annual trade surplus last year, chinese exports in december fell to their lowest since the beginning of pandemic.

in february 2020 demand has been heads. has china's largest trading partners, united states and europe risk slipping into recession. 2023 great forecasts. the world's 2nd largest economy have been cut from roughly 8 percent to around 5 percent. that's after a rapidly spreading outbreaks, falling bases decision to ditch. it's cobit 0 cobit policy last month where she kinda has more now, from hong kong. holding out hope for a recovery these days fruit sell it, misses gwen has few customers, but she's keeping her shop in waging open and hoping the upcoming loot a new year will bring some good fortune to tell you that businesses lie, restaurants are doing much better nowadays there are more customers sees to guffman east cove igniting policies, but i am selling fruit and nuts and serves us do not good. these things are not

daily necessities. and since people don't have their money, they are more careful with spending a widespread coated 19 outbreak in china in recent weeks has crippled consumer spending. millions of people have caught the virus or stayed at home in the hope of avoiding it. the government says everything is under control, but the science is rapid dismantling of pandemic policies. last month is undermining the economic rebound exports fell in december and factory production shrank the most since long term locked downs. 8 months earlier. in some places, frustration is boiling over. ah, this factory and central china police confronted workers who are protesting against layoffs and low wages. and let's say that chinese cove in 1900 challenges have global implications. as some of the world's biggest companies, from automakers, to smart phone makers. they think disruptions to their chinese production lines.

apple is reported to be accelerating plans to shift some of its operations to india and vietnam supply chain analysts say that set to become a growing trend salt where you can predict it's not going to be predictable. that's the, that's the problem that borders everyone. and if you just try to draw a contrast between china and let's say, even in many countries, in se, asia, the policies are much more predictable. they are not ticking. they have not been taken such an extreme measure to, to control go. and effect is actually basically more in ny, all of the western companies. economists are forecasting a longer term turnaround. many predict that after code 19 infections of piqued china could still achieve annual growth of almost 5 percent. but for businesses that rely on chinese spending and manufacturing a long term recovery may be too long to wait. richard kimber, al jazeera in hong kong. let's take it all we can speak to matt to be king is the

china director of economists to intelligence corporate network joins is now from shanghai. i massy great to have you with us here today. so we have these great forecasts. china opening up again to 0 cove. it how to use it? penny out. you know the truth is 0 coven, and had a choke hold on china as economy in 2022. it worked very well in 20202021. but it really slowed china growth stopped on consumer and investor confidence. and of course, given the centrality to china, you know, the central ality of china's role in the global economy and global supply chain is really dragged on global growth. the recovery is going to be bumpy, particularly as trying to seeks to kind of come out of their cobra. but also, as you noted earlier, as there's weakening demand in europe and the in the us, north america due to the macroeconomic conditions there. so it's not going to be an easy start to 2023, but we hope that the macro economic fundamentals in china will stabilize. and the

2nd half of the year we'll see a better grout growth outlook for china overall. right. and there are suggestions that the reopening has come sooner than expected to some investors in goldman sachs at one suggesting that will lead to supply chain issues that that's a concern, isn't it? it is a concern. you know, i don't think anyone anticipated that china would go from having probably the restrictive, restrict us restrictions anywhere in the world to almost nothing in just a matter of weeks. and you've seen the kind of the authorities now trying to navigate, searching infections and pressures on health care system there. whereas we previously previously had supply chain disruption because of china, it's kind of on off the economy, the threat of flash locked down, the 0 cobit, we now have concerns about supply chain disruption because of outbreaks. and the inability of kind of supply chain of low normally. and so it does have implications . i think for china competitiveness and you know, the recovery overall china coming back fully online. is it what immediate impact

would have on the global economy? you know, on the one hand, it's great for the global economy. and the other hand, you know, we've also seen in 2022. a lot of n c's and foreign investors hit the pause button on china because of the uncertainty of 2022. now, some of that certainty was global. you know, the destruction of omi crime, highly transmissible. the kind of implications on kind of energy security commodities prices because of the war and frank ukraine inflation brought about in part because of central bank policy related to the pandemic. some of those are global challenges, but 0 cobit and some of the other more structural issues kick there on the property sector, or you need to china. but i think the question, in terms of what it means for global economy more broadly, is whether investor confidence will be bullied enough to kind of see that f d i money flowing back in to see and see. it's kind of really be committing to the china market after year where many been asking whether they need to think about risk resilience for their global business in a way that kind of manages around china, including china, to attract with

a market to a band. it of course, but you know how china fits in the bigger picture. right. and that one final question we curious about, i see the chinese manufacturers increasingly setting insights of mexico to bring that manufacturing place to the american market. what's that all about and what impact you know, i think that one of those issues there is a little bit of course on industry until 2022. we are, the economist intelligence would have said, you see kind of decoupling everywhere except in trade and investment statistics. but especially after this year you see a lot of companies and then the chinese companies like looking to diversify, obliging and or looking to secure themselves in the case of even geopolitical or political tensions, particularly for sourcing of locations, raw materials, etc. and so some of that i think might be driven by that concern being closer to the markets that they're serving, to avoid disruptions in terms of supply, in terms of logistics, etc. but some of it also might be trying to hedge around potential geopolitical

tensions and the need to kind of be produced in a particular location. interesting mattie great to get your perspective, appreciate it. thanks very much. indeed. thanks robin. a special counsel has been appointed to investigate us. president joe biden handling of sensitive government documents is being reveal. the 2nd set of papers was found in december. this time at his private home in delaware, the 1st batch of files was uncovered at one of biden's former offices, 2 months ago, was only made public on monday. a white house correspondent, kimberly how could. as this report, the discovery of a 2nd batch of classified documents. this time inside the garage of president jo biden's, private residence, has made it difficult for binding to quell this latest political controversy. people know, i take classified documents, classified material seriously. whitehouse lawyers revealed the documents for found recently and relate to biden's time as vice president under president barack obama
