Episode 77: China’s China Shock & Tariff Reality Check ft. Peter S. Goodman

Episode Summary:

In Episode 77 of Trade Splaining, we dig into China’s very own “China Shock,” why Budweiser is going budget in Shanghai, and how the global economy might be looking a lot more like... China’s.

Plus, New York Times journalist Peter S. Goodman returns for his third appearance to discuss how the ground-level impact of tariffs is changing the game—from Colombian factory floors to bourbon country in Kentucky.

We’re also talking nearshoring, recession vibes, and why Geneva’s exotic bird problems could signal more than just invasive species.

🔍 In this episode:

  • Why China’s slowdown is not just about growth, but a structural shift in manufacturing

  • What the "China China Shock" means for global supply chains

  • Is Trump’s tariff plan actually a branding strategy?

  • What whiskey, rye, and Louisville have to do with nationalism

  • And…the clean girl aesthetic as a recession indicator 🧴
