Wealth Transfer in Full View

by Rory, The Daily Coin: 

With China’s industrial production on the rise and exports sinking like a rotting ship this could mean only one thing–internal demand is rising sharply. As we noted in the latest Shadow of Truth Market Update, China’s exports have fallen by 2.8% year-over-year and now we find out production is rising. Either there is major league channel stuffing going on or “Momma needs a new pair of shoes“. Apparently, Momma does need a new pair of shoes as real growth expanded by more than 10% in April.

Remind me of the official first quarter GDP for the U.S.; oh yeah, revised down to 0.1%. Once you add inflation of somewhere north of 4% (generous and very conservative) you come up with a contraction in GDP.

What does this mean to the Western world? While the middle class is evaporating in the West, China’s middle class is steadily rising. Wealth transfer is in full swing and very visible. Got preps?
