It’s not as if we haven’t heard this “Chicoms are doomed” predictions before from so-called expert China observers.

One of the most notoriously wrong “expert” is Gordon Chang who actually lived in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

He predicted a collapse of the Chinese economy as far back as 2004. He even wrote a book entitled, THE COMING COLLAPSE OF CHINA.

Didn’t happen. Yet, here we are in 2019, Gordon Chang is still being given column space in our newspapers and even airtime by Fox, and he’s still predicting a collapse! How many times should a man cry wolf before we ignore him?

Gordon Chang is an expert only if expertise is conferred via DNA (he’s half Chinese, via his dad) and business experience. Whereas Waldron has been writing monographs on China and translating obscure historical works from the original Chinese for maybe 50 years.

Chang is king of the wishful thinkers.

Arthur Waldron is not Gordon Chang.
