I have said for a long time that our (westerners) belief in a Chinese monolithic juggernaut is incorrect. It is why I fear a "Wag the Dog" attack from China. The financial situation has NEVER been what is reported and the underlying social, especially ethnic, tensions are being absolutely ignored.

I'd say "burn it all to the ground," but "six feet under" is a way better depth.

The Secret behind China's Ghost Cities

The above is the surface reason for what's occurring.

The sub-surface reasons are that China's economy is very nearly 100% an artificial creation by outside forces such as the IFM and WEF. It is not naturally grown.

The collapsing China economy is, imo, a solid sign that the Great Global Machine is well and truly being dismantled and rendered non-operational.

Germany too

This has me thinking… my job doesn’t even offer a check as an option. Direct deposit is the only way I can receive my paycheck.

This seems to me like that 'deadly virus in China' in 2020 the world was ignoring. Same Playbook.
