China's $733 Billion Warning: Why Investors Can't Ignore This Red Flag
China just posted a record-breaking 5.25 trillion yuan ($733 billion) budget deficit for the first half of the yeara 45% jump from the same period in 2024. Behind that number? A government pulling every fiscal lever it can to keep growth on track as exports to the US take a hit. While American tariffs remain elevatedroughly 30 percentage points higher than a year agoBeijing has doubled down on infrastructure and domestic spending to compensate for weakening external demand and a bruised property sector. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 9 Warning Signs with MSTR. So far, that strategy has bought time. GDP grew 5.3% in the first six months, running ahead of the government's full-year target. But under the surface, cracks are showing. Fiscal revenue fell 0.6% year-on-year, tax collections dropped 1.2%, and land salesa key source of fundingslipped another 6.5%. Meanwhile, total government spending rose 9% to nearly 19 trillion yuan, driven by capital-heavy projects and social support. For investors, that paints a mixed picture: growth is holding up, but the cost is rising fast. All eyes now turn to two events on the horizon: a high-level economic policy meeting in Beijing and fresh trade negotiations between Chinese and US officials. What happens next could shape the outlook not just for China's fiscal stance, but for any company exposed to cross-border flowsparticularly those like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), which depend on both Chinese consumers and manufacturing capacity. If tariffs rise or growth slows, earnings leverage across sectors could swing hard in either direction. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
