As a result, China confronts a nexus of challenges, mainly stemming from a development model that appears to have reached its limits. This development holds significant consequences for the global stage, especially for South Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite these implications, Chinese industrial policy, focusing on mercantilism, has steadily compelled South Korean exporters to diversify away from the Chinese market. China\u2019s economic challenges are liable to accelerate this departure even more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Korea Pro<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> analysis indicates that:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Economic challenges are pressing China\u2019s exporters and domestic consumers, albeit for different reasons. The repercussions of these challenges suggest that the growth of the world\u2019s second-largest economy might stay depressed for the foreseeable period.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the short run, a plummeting housing market, representing nearly 30% of China\u2019s gross domestic product (GDP), has drastically affected its consumers. This downturn has prompted many to reduce their spending, impacting exporters of consumer goods to China and South Korean tourism companies.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the short-to-medium term, the diminishing role of China as a growing export market spells potential troubles for South Korea\u2019s leading sectors. This issue could intensify due to internal economic downturns within China.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The global deceleration in the demand for goods doesn\u2019t only impact South Korea. These structural shifts also hamper Chinese exporters, further complicating the outlook for Korean businesses aiming to sell abroad.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the long run, South Korea must seek new drivers of economic growth beyond relying on exports to China and explore avenues to boost its domestic productivity.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>CHINESE REAL ESTATE<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">China faced economic headwinds last year as its stringent \u201czero-COVID\u201d policy hit households and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowyinstitute.org\/the-interpreter\/china-s-growth-prospects-after-zero-covid\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">depressed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> domestic consumption. Concurrently, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/08\/17\/china-home-sales-worse-than-official-data-real-estate-crisis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ballooning crisis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> emerged in the real estate sector. Chinese households traditionally <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bruegel.org\/newsletter\/boom-bust-and-future-chinas-real-estate-sector\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">allocate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a significant portion of their savings to housing. Consequently, a downturn in real estate directly impacts household wealth, affecting Chinese consumers\u2019 ability and inclination to spend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2023\/01\/27\/china-covid-travel-lunar-new-year\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">anticipated<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to herald a resurgence of Chinese consumers, previously an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/cn\/our-insights\/our-insights\/the-return-of-the-chinese-consumer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">engine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of global demand. However, that resurgence has waned, and a significant factor is the prolonged downturn in the housing market that persisted into this year. This downturn originated from the Chinese government\u2019s 2020 decision to curtail the growth model of real estate developers, as outlined in its \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/d5803d64-5cc5-46f0-bed0-1bc207440f9c\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">three red lines<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beijing justified this restriction as a measure to curb speculative buying, emphasizing that housing should serve living needs, not <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/economy\/china-economy\/article\/3229305\/chinas-property-problems-appear-poised-improve-can-much-more-risky-real-estate-still-drive-economic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">speculation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It also stated that it was necessary to address the nation\u2019s escalating debt concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the end of 2022, China\u2019s total debt-to-GDP <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-05-08\/china-s-debt-to-gdp-ratio-rises-to-record-279-7-on-credit-boom?leadSource=uverify%20wall\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ratio<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stood at nearly 280%, excluding financial firms but encompassing other businesses, households and governmental entities. While this figure is already substantial, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/carnegieendowment.org\/chinafinancialmarkets\/87007\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rapid accumulation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of this debt in recent years raises even greater alarms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For South Korea, the slowdown in China\u2019s property market may dent demand for exports like petrochemicals, steel and semiconductors. However, South Korea is gradually reducing its dependency on China due to Beijing\u2019s efforts to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/carnegieendowment.org\/chinafinancialmarkets\/87007\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">localize<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> high-end manufacturing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While China\u2019s consumer and property markets do not rely heavily on Korean imports, this interdependence might further decrease over time. Thus, a decline in Chinese domestic demand could affect some Korean companies. However, prospects emerge elsewhere, such as North America and Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jmagazine.joins.com\/monthly\/view\/338130\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ongoing endeavors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to restructure supply chains closer to home and a rising appetite for electric vehicles and other high-tech products present new opportunities for South Korean firms.
