By every measure I’m aware of the Chinese Economy in 2023 is failing. FDI is down 90% YoY, Imports and Exports are down YoY, Youth Unemployment is unbelievably high, Real Estate market is collapsing, inbound tourism is down 90%, and companies are moving their manufacturing facilities out of the country.
The Pandemic surely had some to do with all of that but I’d point at the escalating Trade War with the “The West” as the primary cause. A Trade War that was specifically engineered to damage the Chinese Economy.
No not really, probably less than an hour per week for all video sources combined. I find video news moves too fast and has too little detail / nuance so I spend a lot more time with online text media like Axios and Ground.news than anything else.

Pseudo intellectual hipsterism is so high in west, it is unbelievable. Bet you watch CNN, CNBC and CBS.

You sound just like the past 20ish years of “China doom” headlines, like this.
Okay. It’s not like I’m over here cheering it on. Any significant downswing in the Chinese economy will be bad news for everybody, including me.
