China coming apart

[Into the Night]

You are being melodramatic.

Not really.

And clearly not doing much research, before you speak.

It's pretty clear what's happening.

1) It's not China coming apart.
It is mostly about Xi.

This Covid policy is Xi's baby.
They are protesting against him primarily.

So you are denying your own argument. That's a fallacy, dude. You are not locked in paradox.

Now eventually, I think the Chinese people will tire of the restrictive society they live under.

They already are.

Probably once their economy starts to seriously falter (most of them have known only strong, economic growth in their adult lives).

It's already faltering.

But for now?
These protests you see are almost entirely about Covid lockdowns and Xi - who is behind them.

It's about both.

And 2) Printing their way out of trouble?
Hello?

That's what I said.

Have you seen America's national debt?

And the Fed's balance sheet?

The US national debt has risen by over 1,000% in less than 34 years!!!

The Fed's balance sheet is up over 750% in 15 years!!!

Same problem happening here.

Now, China IS spending far, too much.

No. I am saying that China is trying to build it's way out of it's predicament. Whole cities with no one to live in them. Whole megaprojects that are later dismantled. All a desperate government trying to stimulate an economy, and it isn't working.

But compared to America?

Same thing.

It's far, FAR less.

Nope. It's the same thing, just takes a slightly different form.

If you honestly think that China is 'falling apart' - partly because of their spending/printing?

Yes.

When it is a small fraction of how fast America is 'printing'?

Same thing.

And their GDP growth is still, far better than ours?

Irrelevant.

Imo, you do not understand the macroeconomic world we live in.
And are just projecting, wishful thinking.

No. It's happening in any nation using fiat currency.

We are done here.

Good day.

Termination fallacy (thought terminating cliche).
