Idk people are saying the same things about the western markets as they have been for decades. Maybe a significant portion of people are just naturally drawn to crash prophets.
Pundits have been predicting the economic collapse of the PRC for decades, there’s an entire sub-industry dedicated to “China Watching” that makes good revenue from predicting xyz economic collapse, and it exists because the West wants the PRC to open up its markets for foreigners to plunder freely, rather than the current situation where trade in China is heavily controlled and managed.
Agreed. I’m not saying that “collapse is imminent is accurate”, but don’t act like these are mutually exclusive when the idiom “a candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long” is accurate (to itself - literally the candle).
Lemmy is developed by Marxist-Leninists, so there are a bunch of us Marxist-Leninists and other forms of anticapitalists here. MLs generally uphold the CPC and PRC as legitimate Socialism and a positive, progressive force.
Makes sense, thanks for the context. I wouldn’t exactly argue that the current Chinese administration has a lot in common with MLs ideas but let’s not open that can of worms. :)
We don’t have to open it if you don’t want to, but if you change your mind, I have a bunch of resources I can offer and explanations for what you think may not connect.
Well I don’t have the time right now to get into a lengthy discussion (which this would require to do it justice), but if you don’t mind you can post the resources and I’ll check them out in a bit!
China has like all the research all the production. Its the country where progress happens irl. Where I live, regress happens irl and progress only happens in my videogames
These two aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive.
What is mutually exclusive, though, is reality and China’s “imminent collapse” which has been looming just around the corner for the past 20 years

i’m not aware of people saying that about western markets until recently.
Then you are not engaging in economically interested circles.
i sort of am. but then again, the recent trump shenanigans put people on watch for the west.
but admittedly western economies have been stagnating for a while before that now.

How can I cash in on predicting China will totally implode next year trust me bro
USAID gone, money printer in short supply… 😔
This administration has been disastrous for the hard working propagandist
So sad 😔
I promise that China will collapse tomorrow.
It is written.

Yeah. Anyway what’s with the weird fixation this website has for china? The whole frontage is constantly spammed with memes praising the CCP.

Without knowing your specific critiques, I’ll point you to this comment I’ve made regarding the CPC’s strategy, as well as this introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list I made, and this Socialism with Chinese Characteristics Study Guide by Qiao Collective.
