I’m not familiar with Zeihan, but those are bold claims indeed! I’m not disputing — these are weird times indeed — but can you summarize the reasoning behind those? I’m particularly curious about what is the expected cause of Chinese societal collapse in such a short timeframe; that’s not an idea I’ve encountered.

The reasons I've heard so far:

They've got a Covid vaccine that doesn't work, so they're trying Covid Zero as a policy. This is effecting their production, ports, etc.

They've got issues with their pork industry. They've culled more pigs than the rest of the world has total in the last few years. They're food insecure.

They have demographic problems due to the "1 child" policies of the past.
