China’s Economy Is Nearing Its End, With Only 2 to 3 Years Left. A Massive Collapse Might Occur Soon

Not long ago, veteran Chinese media figure Hu Wenhui introduced a new concept in an article -- "a historical garbage period." What does it mean? Hu Wenhui said, "History is like a competition, there are inevitably many garbage times. When the general trend is set and the defeat is irreversible, no matter how hard you try, it is just a futile struggle, and you can only try to end it as gracefully as possible." He cited the end of several Chinese dynasties as examples of historical garbage times. In these periods, no one could reverse the demise of the dynasty, no matter how they tried.

A number of things happened to China`s economy and where it is today they were not inevitable but happened they did. Having lock downs for COVID was not a natural occurrence . The virus "Might" have been a natural "happening" and inevitable but the reaction by the CCP was all man made.When China took itself out of the world`s supply chain it started a domino effect that should have been realized what the results would be..Apparently, the CCP thought their reaction was a wise one. They thought wrong. Another thing they might have thought wrong was how important the Chinese economy was to the rest of the world and that their political, foreign policy decisions would not matter or that other countries would have no choice but to accept the CCP`s moves, because China was too big to be ignored. Greed is a human condition and affects all races/societies and it has an effect on all social/financial economies (inflation,recession). I guess human nature is going to take place so this might be naturally occurring (real estate bubbles is one result) where it can cloud people`s judgements.

China sought to do in less than 40 years what it took the United States to accomplish in over a century and a half or more. To expect that experiment to be painless in the long run was more than ambitious. Some mistakes had to be made when you aimed for the skies. Overinvestment in infrastructure and real estate. Defense expenditures to support the ambitious goals, and overambitious territorial aspirations to project an exaggerated political power too did not help. It should not be surprising that the experience for the common Chinese citizens over the past 40 years has been exhausting and exasperating. China will recover, but I don't think we know how it will look after the recovery.

Many modern western economies had similar experience of stagnation. Even Japan had experienced 30 years of long stagnation after the bubble pop of '80s. China also will have to go through such a long and dark tunnel of economic stagnation for next 30 years or more before recovering again. Good luck to Chinese people.

Will only be prolonged misery if they continue to act like Putin and threaten war with Taiwan. If they stop funding Russian war and stop “talking tough,” on Taiwan, then western fear will subside and money will flood back into China. The west sees xi in power forever and then sequestering Jack ma and imprisoning or disappearing thousands of Hong Kong protestors, and they get nervous and leave. Plus it’s bad for your economy for so many productive citizens to be disappeared in Hong Kong. It seems a wise leader was led astray by Russian antiglobalization and pro decoupling propaganda and now his empire is suffering. It doesn’t have to be this way but maybe his advisors are scared of discussing the mistakes and how to correct them.

CHINA IN 2024: THERE'S NO MONEY TO BE MADE EVERYWHERE!!

[@xhagast]

Ah, that is the joke, THERE NEVER WAS!!! Tessla invested in China just to have them steal his tech and squeeze him out of the market. The Chinese economy boomed as he built his factories and competing Chinese factories were built. Now both are underused, the money is spent, price wars rage, debts scream to be paid and the whole house of cards begins to crumble.

Common Prosperity - btw doing the math the amount of poor people in China far outweighs the amount in the middle class so common prosperity would mean everyone is poor 😅

[@matrixcowpaul2194]

When 70 % investment into real estate sector in China, imagine when the resl estste market crush, stock market plummeted, consumers lost confidence, the whole economy will fell to 80% ...SCARY!!!

[@CHixon]

empty malls are not significant. Malls are not a good business model. Retail business is also a tough sell, not a good business model because it doesn't add value. Showing abandoned retail is irrelevant. Manufacturing is very relevant, but not video-friendly. Real Estate development is also a paper tiger - worse than retail by multitudes and continues to be a ponzi scheme. High speed rail is a white elephant, sucking up scarce cash. I'll know when China cannot function when China's high speed rail stops. For the individual netizen, it best to go back to farming in a remote area.

[@oodo2908]

@@MasticinaAkicta In America there are actually ALOT of poor. But they are given money for food and house and don't have to work. If they make more babies they get more money. The illegal immigrants are also given free food and house. Most of the middle class is actually poor. They are negative from loans until they die. America looks rich but it is actually fake rich. I've actually seen the most people with money in SE Asia. The middle and rich pay off all the loans fast and the taxes are low. They are living really good. I visited Japan this year and actually there's a lot of poor. But the government controls the rent price so Japanese can still have some savings and afford to go out sometimes. Very sad to see how many poor Chinese there are. And now the people who tried so hard to make business are debtors and can lose travelling rights. The 'lie flat' people are doing better with no debts...

I bet that those in the CCP who are responsible for this do not suffer from such poverty, but live in prosperity. I thought that in socialism everyone is equal, but apparently some are even more equal. These are the typical signs of decay of an authoritarian system...and the more pronounced these symptoms become, the stronger the iron grip that the population is held in.

No need to 'bet'. It is true. As to socialism: One of the original commandments in Animal Farm: "All animals are created equal." Later changed by the pigs to: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

In finances, there is a saying, “the trend is your friend”. Do not fight it. Go with it. China’s economy is going down. Opening stores now is a very bad idea. Furthermore, it will get worse. What most people don’t know is that governments around the world are racing to make AI and robots. These in 2-5 years will make up the workforce. With ~11M students graduating each year, China is in BIG trouble as these AI robots will take all the jobs.

[@uncle.d.]

Hmmm….no. This sounds like science fiction. They are far away from being ready yet for overall AI.

[@jadyynstarlight9851]

@@uncle.d. we will see. In the US, they are raising minimum wage. Businesses are automating. In the future, we will at best need people to repair machines, not do the jobs. Also, wait until men can buy their own female AI robot for cheap ($10K) - not just on screen like a computer game or OF.
