Analysis-Ebbing demand for China’s favourite firewater adds to debt concerns By Reuters

Economic Impact of Kweichow Moutai: The sales decline of Kweichow Moutai, a premium baijiu brand, reflects the broader struggles of China's consumer market and poses challenges for Guizhou province, which relies heavily on the company's revenues to manage its significant debt.

Challenges and Future Prospects: Despite a recent increase in factory gate prices helping maintain revenue growth, concerns about unsold inventory, demographic shifts away from traditional consumers, and the need for new revenue sources raise questions about Moutai's long-term viability and its support for the provincial economy.
