What do you think of this article, folks?
When it comes to economic prognosticators I'm not sure any of them know what they're talking about. But I certainly wouldn't blame China if they used whatever strategies they could to insulate themselves from the rest of the world's economic idiocy. Will their actions be any smarter than ours? Maybe. They would have to work at it to be any dumber.
As bad as China is in so many ways it can only help the rest of the world if they don't become an economic basket case IMO. Half the world's population starving to death in one hostile nation can't be a very stabilizing influence for the rest of the world.
