Abstract

This study constructs an analytical framework of the external flow of funds (EFF) to observe the process and obstacles of China and the United States (US) decoupling, examining the China–US structural relationship in savings and investment imbalance during 1980–2022. We observe the issues between China and the US in the external financial assets and liabilities by stock data, focusing on the external adjustment mode in 2008–2022. We construct a vector error correction model to calculate the quantitative relationship between short-term fluctuations and long-term trends of the EFF in China and the United States and explore the basic causes of economic conflicts between the two sides. This chapter discusses the risk of China–US economic decoupling and US debt, the strategic challenges both sides face, and the prospect of countermeasures.

The federal funds rate refers to the short-term interest rate in the US interbank lending market. The change in such interest rates can sensitively reflect the surplus and shortage of funds between banks. The surplus and shortage of funds in the interbank lending market will spread to the market industry and commerce, affecting consumption, investment, and balance of payments.
