They're BRIC nations (read...factory nations).

Agreed. China is just a factory nation and nothing more. Nothing to worry about there.

Even with senile Sleepy Joe "running" (ruining?) things for the next three years (and possibly another four years after that, followed by a possible eight years of "leadership" by the Laughing Hyena Headboard), the U.S. is in great shape in comparison to China. Xi Jinping has no clue what he's doing while super-genius Sleepy Joe & Laughing Hyena Headboard are totally on top of their game. Great news all around.

I don't like our current "leaders" any more than you do - but the facts remain that China is a factory nation that collapses economically if other nations don't buy their junk.

Do you think other BRIC (Russia, India, and Brazil) have the means to keep China afloat if other prosperous nations bow out? Not a chance.

As I stated in another post - China is also economically collapsing due to their real-estate crisis. Their central bank will need to implement some form of quantitative easing to give them an opportunity to survive.
