Hey, Jared.

JARED BLIKRE: Hey there.

Well I'm taking a look here at the NASDAQ Golden Dragon Index, and we can see a lot of these stocks that are native to foreign to China and to Hong Kong are really taking a beating here.

Alibaba which was up 3.82% yesterday, that's the background, you can see in the early morning we are down 8.18%.

Pinduoduo down 3%.

NetEase down 3.

JD.com down 5.

And the list goes on.

So a lot of pressure here.

Now, if I look at China-- Chinese exposed stocks that are actually from the US that are based in the US, there's a lot less carnage.

Broadcom down 1.5%.

NVIDIA derives a lot of its income from China, down 7/10%.

Apple huge in China that's actually up a half a percent.

So it looks like the domestic securities over there are having a more difficult time digesting all of this.

And we've been talking about the foreign direct investment in China that has fallen off a cliff.

And first, I want to show you Chinese GDP because this is their demographic-- this kind of relates to their demographic time bomb as their population ages.

They have lower growth expectations.

And if you're looking at this, we're talking about three to 3% in the long term.

That is a far cry from the 10% that we expected a little more than a decade ago.

And then on to the foreign direct investment, that has fallen off a cliff as well.

This goes back to the early 2000s here.

And you can see the line-- and these are the purple bars that I'm looking at.

These are the purple lines that reflect direct investment, these have gone negative.

So an actual reversal of that.

Now, this cyan line right here is the interest rate differential between the US and the Chinese bonds on the 10 year tenor.
