"A US-China beautiful rebalancing" - a new article by Ray Dalio

Ray Dalio published an essay on X titled “A US-China beautiful rebalancing,” arguing that the United States and China are locked in an unsustainable economic relationship that should be corrected through coordinated policy changes rather than a disorderly break. He said the U.S. depends too heavily on cheap Chinese goods and debt financing, while China depends too heavily on exports to and investment in the U.S., creating mutual vulnerabilities that one way or another must be reduced. Dalio’s proposed rebalancing calls for the U.S. to cut its deficit, raise manufacturing, reduce consumption, and lower debt, while China should reduce its surplus, ease manufacturing overcapacity, boost domestic consumption, and reduce debt. The post landed amid heightened U.S.-China trade tensions, including tariff moves and talk of negotiations, which made his argument especially relevant to markets watching for whether the relationship evolves through managed de-escalation or a more damaging confrontation.
