    Yeah yeah, I’ve heard that before. There’s a whole cottage industry of “experts” that have predicted the imminent collapse of China going back decades. Call me when it actually happens.

      China’s economy is stacked like a house of cards and could come crumbling down due to some unforeseen global financial shock, but then again that sounds like most modern economies. I think people just pick on China because, instead of having a group of billionaires stack up the cards, the government does it themselves.

        You just described the US, UK, and much of the western world entirely. The global economy is just a bunch of "IOU"s

    I’ll drop this beautiful book here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coming_Collapse_of_China

    Americans have been predicting the collapse of China for 30+ years. It’s just wishful thinking.

    President of the Ticking Time Bomb Republic says that the country that hasn’t had a recession in 45 years is “in trouble” and that their 5.2% GDP increase projected by the IMF is “weak growth”.

        Seeing in my lifetime how China replaced the US in many segments here. 20 years ago, even our plugs/sockets were US-spec. Now I am talking to you from my home 5G powered by Huawei https://youtube.com/shorts/Bk7slfSLvvY?feature=share

      Brigading isn’t a thing, that’s the point of federation. Why is it always people who’ve joined in the last two months making these complaints? Couldn’t possibly have anything to do with events on reddit in that time frame could it? 🤔
