It is kinda funny how people understand that hyperbolic and scandalous language grabs our attention, their attention gets grabbed by hyperbolic and scandalous language and then they laughing at those who used that language. You got played. They aren't wrong as much as you didn't understand what they are doing. An investor is rewarded for having the correct opinion but only if everyone else is wrong. They are professional liars. So they get money because they misled the public and they get money for the attention that they generated. They cashed in twice.

Personally, I do think china will face great economical challenges in the near future though. E.g. The collapse of evergrande and the consequences on the whole sector will make some waves. Let's hope the public won't suffer.

Before anyone wants to jump at me for shitting on china and praising the west (I did neither), I think e.g. america is a dumpster fire economically speaking and the eu is struggling at best.


If anyone is interested to share with me their opinion on a (in my opinion, a very probable) collapse of Tesla will impact the EV market, especially the Chinese market, please do!

China has a demographics that will severely kick it in its balls very soon, and that is probably an understatement.

An evil authoritarian regime that is committing human rights abuses and does not follow democratic norms ..... but we'll do billions of dollars worth of trade with them and base a lot of our industries around trading with them. But they're still evil.

Are you talking about China or the US?

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yeah that tracks, same with Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Being aware of America's abuses of power is good. Being contrarian and acting like everything they've ever said about China is a lie is bad.

most of what they say about it is a lie though.

“Imminent collapse” is a fairly common theme among modern economies

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone -4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

imminent collapse is a fairly common theme among anything we’ve learned to engineer fairly well… if a bridge isn’t in imminent danger of collapse under its theoretical maximum loading, it used too much material and was thus over-built which means fewer bridges for people

if an economy isn’t in imminent danger of collapse then it’s resources aren’t being used efficiently and that means fewer luxuries - and bridges - for people

We haven't learned to engineer economies well.

At least no country leaders have.
