Xie Jinhe commented on Zhou Yuqin's talent: great climate changes across the Taiwan Straits, Taiwan's AI Mercedes-Benz, and China's bubble adjustment

Xie Jinhe, chairman of Caixin Media Group, responded to the dismissal of senior anchor Zhou Yuqin from Zhongtian, pointing out that the cross-strait climate is undergoing major changes. Taiwan is racing on the AI ​​track, and China is trapped in a bubble adjustment. Two parallel lines will open. He cited the Dailian National Situation Survey, which showed that Taiwanese people have been optimistic about China's economy for a long time since 2000. However, in recent years, as Taiwanese people have become more optimistic about the economy after the epidemic, the rate of those who are optimistic about Taiwan has exceeded those who are unfavorable for the first time, which has become a turning point in the change of the political climate. At the same time, he pointed out that companies that relied on China's rise in the past have gradually fallen into trouble. Want Want's stock price continued to fall to HK$2.785, and Huali Group and Haidilao frequently hit new lows, reflecting that China's domestic demand has just begun to decline.
