China is looking at instantenous fall of 15% of GDP if real estate prices correct to US levels which is still tremendously overpriced and there could easily be spilled to other industries and sectors of economy making fall even worse.

When it gets worse CCP gets more power since the military don't fight for their families. Instead CCP makes up stories which the people believe. They believe that USA is going to invade China and that CCP is saving them so there's no way a country who declared war on the rest of the world to abandon their savior. The likelyhood for the people in China to rise against CCP would be as if people in Great Britain decided to attack their own countrymen during ww2 and join the Germans.

Dude, your China content is so insightful. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing your knowledge on a country that most of us in the west get very legitimate info on. As someone who was born in Russia, I can't help but see some striking similarities between how both of these world powers suppress their people.

[@cecillec2331]

Because the same people controlling Russia control China. They also pretty much control the rest of the world, including America. This simple fact goes "whoosh!" over the sheep's head. Why was Alexander Solzhenitsyn destroyed? What did he reveal? Who was really behind the Bolsheviks? Why do you think the CIA is all over the world infiltrating governments? Who created the CIA? When Philippine President Duterte spoke live on TV with a lopsided face (from an obvious stroke), he said, "If anything happens to me, the CIA did it", my heart ached. I wondered how many other people understood exactly what he was trying to convey. If you study history and politics as doled out by our programming institutions, you don't really know the truth. The 1980s educational reform had sinister implications. It resulted into 80% of American high school graduates being functional illiterates, and what there is left to learn are all orchestrated to mesh well and assist the agenda of the globalists. I cannot post any links here because free speech is now a felony (legislation sponsored by the same people).

[@CriticalThink]

It’s refreshing to see someone being honest and making an informed commentary. Those other you tubers producing sensationalist videos are doing it for the views, which is rather disturbing to me.

[@zidbits1528]

I don't think they're doing it for views, I think they really believe what they're saying. The believe it because if it happened here in the west, the governments WOULD collapse. They just don't understand how & why China is different from a western country. I personally both agree, and disagree with Winston. I believe China's *economy* can and will collapse. It's inevitable. How do I know this? Because there isn't an economy in all of human history that hasn't collapsed or had its bubble "popped". It's just a matter of when and how. Economies can't grow infinitely/forever, there are ups and downs, bubbles and collapses. China's in the biggest economic bubble the world has ever seen - this isn't my opinion but the opinion of every economist on the planet. It will eventually pop, it has to pop if they want to continue to grow. Winston says the PRC has total control and he's right - but China's economy doesn't exist in a bubble. It interacts with, and participates in the larger global economy. This is how China's economy collapses - other countries losing faith in the Yuan and foreigners losing faith in investing in China. The latter is already happening, companies are choosing to avoid having their stuff made there due to rampant IP theft. China also wants to get a robust middle class; to do that, they have to start paying decent wages. Once they do that, China will no longer be a cheap place to manufacture things and that alone will collapse their economy, completely ignoring all the real estate bubbles.

[@jacob4920]

Why is it disturbing? You don't have to watch those videos. Nobody does. I don't, because I decided I have better things to do than worry about the downfall of countries thousands of miles from where I live. If it happens, great. If it doesn't, so what? What does that mean to ME? Nothing. And these other KZbinrs are clearly "click-baiting" with their predictions. That's an underhanded, but completely harmless, way of attracting gullible viewers, to increase their income on KZbin's algorhythm. What's disturbing about that? Much worse happens in American society, every day, and yet we Americans just roll with it. Is any of this crap going to start a war? No. Only one thing is going to trigger a war with China: the Chinese invasion of the Island of Taiwan. THAT would be truly disturbing. What's happening on KZbin: not so much. So let's just calm down here.

[@CriticalThink]

@@jacob4920 I don't watch those videos either. You are correct that there are things in this world that are much more disturbing. Why is it disturbing? Because honesty doesn't come first.

[@dottenday]

I was in Shanghai for a month (scheduled to be there for two months) to learn Mandarin (I am fluent in Japanese). I asked my friend what she thought about Mao - and her face turned white and whispered YOU MUST NEVER SAY THAT HERE! and proceeded to say loudly so that everyone could hear her: Oh, he was a great man. He is the father of our country! In my Chinese language class - my second week - I told my teacher (who was really, really good) that someone had opened my backpack on the train and stolen my camera while everyone was watching. She looked sad, and went over to the window and closed the blind, and put her finger up to her lips to mean DON'T TALK - and wrote CCP on the blackboard and pointed at it, then erased it very quickly. Then she said: That's the reason why it was stolen. People steal to stay alive. It's the CCP that is to blame, not the Chinese people or their character. I saw Barrack Obama in Shanghai soon after taking office, talking to students and he was going on and on about American freedom and democracy. The students had completely blank looks on their faces. I realized they don't want freedom or democracy because freedom and democracy require personal responsibility, and they don't want that. Who wants to be responsible for their lives. They can throw garbage on the ground and not think twice about it - let the government take care of that. Housing? Let the government take care of that. They like not having to take responsibility for themselves. Communism helped unify the country during WWII - that had been colonized up to then by the French, the British and Americans, and invaded and raped by the Japanese, so it brought the country together as one country, so I'm sure they are happy about that - and with the CCP introducing capitalist methodology, things have improved, so people think things are fine just as they are. That's my interpretation. I left Shanghai after one month because it was dirty, noisy, people were thieves, and rude, and it was incredibly bad. I dropped my class and came back to clean, polite, and society is good. I was so glad to come back here. It's like night and day. I'm enjoying your videos Serpentza.

[@funpau7549]

It’s so sad that Chinese always had a weak mind. They always go for the easy way out, even if it meant long term badness. That’s why they loss to a small country like Japan, with strong minds and determination, in WWII, even when China had way more people.

[@zbz5505]

​@@funpau7549I'd say that's not entirely the case. They've thrown their emperors out every now and then in the past, idk what broke at what point though. The ccp has clearly outlived its purpose. Although, it might have to do with a certain square. The reason they lost in ww2 (and the entire century prior) was because of stagnation and overconfidence. Like, when Britain came for trade they told them in Latin no, because they were so full of themselves, they didn't care the Roman empire collapsed over a thousand years ago.

To say that the CCP can survive such an economic downfall, uprisings back in 1989, famine, be so mismanaged and corrupt, and it be 100% truthful it's like the CCP has won in some way and short of extinction or a very bloody war is robust enough to endure pretty much everything else.

[@creamchoco]

I think what saved the CCP was Nixon opening relations with China. When China raided the USSR's border, Nixon saw this as his opportunity to take China's side against what was considered to be the bigger threat, the USSR. He wanted to take advantage of the bad relationship between the two communist countries. (During his later years, Nixon admitted that he didn't expect China's economic rise when he opened relations. He said this before most of the people began to be aware of China's economic rise. And many of those who were aware assumed that the increasing number of the Chinese middle class would pressure their government to democratize). Even after Tiananmen, relations with China were reopened and the investments flowed in. If China's economy failed to improve, then I actually think the CCP would've fallen earlier than the Eastern European communist countries did. I agree that the CCP's oppression also helped prolong it, but I don't think the oppression alone would've done the job without the economic improvement.
