China’s macroeconomic numbers turned sharply for the worse in October.
Government spending, real estate sales, and exports all decelerated sharply in negative territory.
Earlier this year, China raised taxes across the board, but Government revenue fell anyway in October.
All these harsh downturns are in the official numbers, so the reality is likely worse. American companies are decoupling from China, rather than just diversifying, with several big companies (like Tesla and Apple) announcing plans for 0% Chinese content in 2027, for their American products.

Consumer money is too tight worldwide. China exports into Europe, USA, all over the 2nd and 3rd world. A great way to distract the average Chinaman, invade Taiwan and TSMC. To send Chinese AI into the stratosphere.
US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff .... Duped, dummkopf or both. Duped by Vlad.
or worked for him since the 90s
Plans are in place to demolish TSMC, in the event of a communist invasion.
It is well recognized what a Strategic prize TSMC would be, so Taiwan has known that they needed a credible threat to deny that, to not incentivize their invasion.
“Plans are in place to demolish TSMC, in the event of a communist invasion.”
All CCP has to is issue threats in advance, do not blow up TSMC, or missiles will be sent targeting Taipei’s civilian population, living in the most expensive condominium buildings. Killing the Taiwanese elites. Many who own factories in China.
Someone as “smart”as yourself should be able to figure out an autocorrect mistake 😂
But as usual you insult the messenger rather than address the question so I will ask again grammar czar
What are your acceptable sources?
It is impossible to believe any numbers coming from China let alone russia.
If russia says .6 GDP growth, the it is most likely 1-3% retraction, and most of the GDP is being sent into Ukraine to be blown up
China is a big question, even their population numbers are being questioned.
An invasion of Taiwan would wipe out years of military production, collapse their economy, and leave them with a destroyed Taiwan if they can even take it.
As we have learned logistics is still king, and russia with a land connection has great difficulty with logistics. Crossing 100 miles of open ocean to supply troops will be much more difficult.
Destroying things with bombs and missiles is relatively easy, taking, holding and supplying gains is not.
My guess XI will take the easier option, use the pitin playbook of historical ownership and injustice to waltz into Siberia instead of Taiwan
