China’s economy will crash, and will cause a cascade of repercussions globally.
An ideology is never defeated.
Recurring cycles…

Xi has gotten rid of anyone who might threaten his rule. As usual this means that he’s gotten rid of anyone who is competent. The next step will be more executions as the toadies and sycophants who are left fail at their tasks. Just the same old totalitarian playbook.

China's last gasp will be the invasion of Taiwan.

They're stockpiling fuels and raw materials at a record pace, even as their manufacturing sector slows.

They're preparing for something...

I think Zeihan has been predicting this for over 10 years. Could be a real thing, but so far it hasn’t happened. And, on another note, from what I can tell, Zeihan thinks Biden is pretty decent president — but he doesn’t have a single good thing to say about Trump. I consider Zeihan to be Deep State.

China is fine.

We will collapse first.

I don't believe it. I don't see China with all its momentum and all its military and economic power failing any time soon. The Western world, America in particular, has given and it cannot stop giving China economic power as well as military and economic secrets.

China is ruled by an evil regime and I hope I'm wrong. Peter Zeihan has been loudly predicting a collapse for years. I hope he's right and I'd gladly admit I'm wrong.

Real strong. That’s why China’s snowflake Army needs counselors if the poor babies have to spend a week in the field. Boo hoo hoo.

I like Zeihan, but I keep wondering if he is as smart as he and his team think they are.

China is facing a demographic collapse. So is the rest of the developed world. China is, however, ruthless.

Don’t underestimate them.

Red China seems to have some fans here at FR judging by the responses.

I watched this video this morning. Peter Zeihan has been predicting the downfall of China for over a year. One of the key points he mentions again in this video is the fact they have reported a decrease in their population of 100 MILLION people.

This is all a result of the One Child policy along with the fact that Xi is now a completely insulated dictator. Anyone who gives him bad news meets their maker. So, no one wants to be the bearer of bad news to Xi.

Their unemployment of young people is starting to rival Italy’s. Somewhere in the 30% range do not have a job.

Manufacturing is leaving to go to other Asian countries.

“An ideology is never defeated.”

Perhaps not totally, but they can be made extremely unpopular.

At the end of the day though, no matter how many people you murder, when people get hungry enough, the dictator will fall.

Saw article on impact of China's birth rate decline.

Leaves China with fewer than 400 Million by 2100.

Assumes no major war.

You just hate America don’t you? You are always promoting dictatorships and commie hell holes.

Why is that?
