What happened
US interest rate hikes are driving global investment flows. Meanwhile, China is facing a severe and deepening financial crisis, marked by low consumer spending, dropping investment, and a collapsing real estate market.

Why it matters
Rising US Treasury yields are causing global caution, impacting market trends in China. Beijing is finding it difficult to implement traditional stimulus because massive debt in local governments and real estate prevents effective action. The government is reportedly trapped between fixing domestic growth and protecting its national currency.
