The economy's actual momentum splits sharply: AI exports are driving growth while domestic consumption and investment remain weak, leaving Beijing with narrower room to maneuver on stimulus without risking currency instability. Indonesia's deteriorating fiscal position under Prabowo is triggering capital flight and currency pressure that threatens to spread contagion across Asia, disrupting regional supply chains and cutting demand for energy and raw materials at a moment when China's internal weakness already constrains regional growth.
