Imagine having such a superiority complex thinking that China's survival hinges entirely on western investment and graces. That's some jingoism right there.

Yeah, I'm sorry to break a nationalist's heart. China needs foreign investment to survive, otherwise its 22% youth unemployment rate, 3 of its biggest real estate companies being bankrupt, local government's $12 trillion debt, 600M citizens on $140/month income will just get worse.

But those investments are now gone forever.

Nah I'm no nationalist. Just trying to provide balanced views.

> But those investments are now gone forever.

Can bet there will still be investors coming in to fill the void.
