Quote from: RE on Sep 14, 2023, 09:00 AMAs all veteran Diners know, I have long predicted Chinese economic collapse under the catchphrase of "the Chinese are TOAST!".  This actually predates the Diner and goes back to my first bully pulpit on the PeakOil.com forum, going beyond economics to social, environmental and population collapse as well, but economic collapse is the leading indicator for all of those problems.  The MSM is finally catching up to me as the economic prooblems long papered over and suppressed by the CCP are now boiling over.  When China really goes down, the FSoA will be caght in the undertow and will not be far behind.  Here's the latest status report on the sinking of the Chinese economic Titanic.

China's economic collapse carries a warning about our own future

China may be going down, but not from the reasons given in the Hill article.  The Hill article says China is failing because they have a failed socialist centrally planned economy.  Your article is classic anti-commie propaganda.

Having nothing to do with the fact that China oriented their means of production to serve exports to capitalist countries.  Countries which have now gone full leisure class, and thus can no longer can generate an income to buy Chinese stuff.  America no longer has income that can support capitalist onsumption.   Failure to grow is a death sentence for capitalism.

Or perhaps the country is getting hammered by climate change.


China won't be wanting to invade Taiwan anytime soon.  A weird video.  Audio does not match.  Asian politics involved?
