We shall see what happens.

The collapse of China is sort of a yearly theme that comes and goes in batches. It is a narrative that is voraciously read and eaten up by American Conservatives. Many of whom use Chinese computers, Chinese cell-phones, Chinese televisions and own cars with Chinese electronics, engines, brakes, and radios.

I've lived long enough to know that anything can happen and often what we want to happen is never what actually does happen.

Anyone remember the Ebola outbreak that was going to hit the USA? Or the Y2K that would throw the USA back to the stone age? How about how all the money to Haiti would lift the people out of poverty? Or how South Africa would be modernized by all the billions and billions of US dollars that Obama gave them?

This is from the South China Post. They have said this back in 2016, and back in 2014, 2013, as well as back in 2007, 2004, and even further back that I am too tired to research.

Beware of "news" that tells you what you want to hear.

There are other motives involved. I for one, will sit this all out with a wait and see approach. The Chinese are not stupid, nor are they communist. They are a very serious, serious nation that thinks with a long term vision, employs workers by merit, and punishes harshly for failure.

Compare that to the USA. With what our universities are churning out of colleges these day. Compare that to the modern American work ethic. Compare that to the bankers and lawyers that run America. Just compare.

If you think that the Chinese cannot compete against the modern American workforce. Great! America will rise up from the ashes...led forward with the new American leadership. It will be diverse. Politically correct, and wise to the ways of the hijab. China won't have a chance.

By certain measures, China’s economy has been bigger for about 5 years.

Consider this. Suppose that back in 1900 some great power had formed a country in eastern Europe. And suppose that this country was 1/3 Russian, 1/3 Polish, and 1/3 Prussian. That country would be a mess. A total, ongoing mess.

And then overseen by the French.

Remember the Christmas tree in he Obama Whitehouse was adorned with ornaments of moa tse tung? The left just idolizes and dreams of a china here, where a choice few elitists and their families will live the life of luxury and riches while they throw crumbs to their minions

We have enough stupid people here, why are we importing them. We should be importing people from Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, etc.)//

Heck if I know but we shouldn’t be electing stupid radicals to congress but we do.

Proof of your statement:

Take a look at what has happened to the UK and the Euro Trash countries in the past couple of decades.
