I mean they have been in a state of continuous deflation for a long time. They certainly didn't live up to the 1980s predictions of world domination.

What do you mean, you mean that?

Predictions of world domination were equally the same kind of substance-free propaganda and fear mongering. No serious people actually thought a country of ~100 million would economically dominate the world.

Nor was not achieving world domination wasn't the anti-sustainable-population propaganda fearmongering of the 90s and 0s that I'm talking about, so I don't know what part of my comment you're trying to respond to.
