government is holding a major financial conference in beijing and toppling some of the country's most pressing economic challenges. the national financial work conference takes place once every 5 years behind closed doors. this time leaders are expected to be discussing ways to address china is enormously invested. property sector, tackling unemployment and strength from the con, the government script on the country. $61.00 trillion dollar financial sector. for more than this, that spring and andrew collier, china analyst of global force partners 8 macro economic research firm. andrew, this meeting takes place every 5 years behind closed doors. what kinds of decisions tend to be made there? well this particular meeting is a lot more important than other meetings they've had, because this is the 1st time that she didn't ping or any leader has concentrated all economic decision making right in the center of the party system in the poly bureau. so we're all rather eager to find out what kinds of decisions are going to

be made, and that's one of the problems. it's now become a bit of a black box to figure out what's going on since the this group is lot more important that the central bank or the, the csr see which regulates the stock markets. and so we don't really have a clue at this stage of what's likely to happen. i could make some guesses that wherever um, basically they're going to be doing a balancing act to try to figure out ways to save the countries turbo property market, which has been a driver of growth for the last decade. without us, we're spending good money after bad because so many property projects it's gone belly up. so it's an interesting balancing act of for the economic group that's meeting. so let's talk a little bit more about that balancing ox in the property sector. we've seen the demise of evergreens and the country garden is in trouble as well. how is the

government planning on tackling this issue? well, they're not basically i, i think the attitude a cheated paying and others is that they can't keep the property bubble going on forever. so a lot of developers are going to have to go out of business. we know anecdotally that a lot of the smaller companies have gone under. now we're seeing some of the big ones go under. i don't think she can pin cares that much about these developers of the property sector. he's desperate to move the country into a new growth path. hopefully would something sexy like somebody, conductors or artificial intelligence or robots or electric vehicles, that kind of thing. but meanwhile, he's figures, if he's got to take the hit on the property sector, now he's going to do that. let's talk about another economic problem. china has us unemployment one is 5 young people doesn't have it's all we know china has a demographics problem. it desperately needs young workers to support its aging population. why aren't the opportunities there as well?

first of all, china has indulged in putting people in universities for the last several decades as a way to keep them off the streets. and unfortunately, the job creation is not kept based on the demand. second thing is in a campaign that started back in 20192020. he got rid of a lot of the gig economy companies. he cut them down to size the amazons of china. and the owners of china basically were reduced in scope and they were providing a lot of jobs for young people, not terribly great wages and the worker protections when so great. but at least it was something for people to do. and he's gotten rid of that. now there's a shortage of capital, so a lot of small businesses that would be shipping goods overseas or doing small you guys for christmas, for americans or british is they're having difficulty getting enough money. so a lot of the small. busy businesses are running out of funds, so it's, it's a tough nut to crack, particularly given that he's doubling down the state system,

which is really helping anybody this doubling down you mentioned, is this simply all about control, or is there a genuine economic strategy behind i? i think that it is partly economic strategy and partly control. um, i don't doubt that he's a true believer and in communism in the state sector, he kind of grew up with that in his model. and i've been told by people that that's the way he thinks, if he's going to, if you're going to turn back to your grab bag of ideas, state state industries is the way for him to go. so we spent a lot of money into big semi conductor firms that are government own, that unfortunately are fairly inefficient. so he's, it's slowing the pace of migration away from property. and that's what really worries me because at a time when the airplane is slowly starting to fall, he's, he's increasing, he's putting his foot on the gas to make it fall faster onto collier there. and you

can watch the full version of our conversation on the dw, easy to tunnel, to stay with china. we've just been talking about some of the countries most pressing economic challenges. but one area in which it is leading the way is in electric mobility. take a look here and change and assign them to get profound public transport. transform ation is under way. china is the world's top carbon emulator. boosting electric mobility is one way to address the problem. in general is the 1st city to eliminate these of buses, opting for a fully electric fleet. back in 2017. these passengers are at the forefront of a pioneer in shifting public transport. but she beckoned driving to use the electric buses is incredibly comfortable. the intelligent system has enhanced every also it's simpler to operate more environmental or friendly and to reduce noise levels are not simple. it's a marked improvement. sion janet style blazing clean public transportation move set

a benchmark for other chinese mentor port is aiming to transition the public transport systems entirely to electric by 2025. but china is still an outlier and clean transportation. the country accounts for over 90 percent of towards electric buses and truck fest for 2021 data by international council on clean transportation . however, besides the environmental benefits of stringent electric bus network, it runs with a solid consistency with buses taking minimum amount of time to recharge. this is what we did remaining 20 percent charge. honestly, it takes roughly 90 minutes to fully to charge the buses to yeah, it was the window, you know, the visual with the transition to electric buses present it to an issue. challenges from unfamiliar technology to ensuring adequate charging infrastructure has a limited range. according to the engines, public transport officials,

the buses not match the performance of the decent predecessors at the beginning of the summer with step by step, solve the problem. now we can say we almost have the same technical performance of our buses compared to the buses. in the past, these electric buses are produced by b y d, headquartered in the same city. china is rising electric vehicle giant showcased a significant growth in detroit quarter of 2023 for developing a 2 per cent increase in profits compared to a year earlier. sion janet trance formation into a beacon of electric public transportation set, 2nd pending precedents. it offers a glimpse into a future very organ mobility and environmental protection. can corey exist now to some of the other global business stories making news? british energy giants b p has poses
