There's a good chance that the China-pessimists will be proven wrong, just as they have been every time they've predicted their collapse. It's baseless rumors, no different from people predicting that there's always a recession around the corner in the US.

The collapse straw man doesn’t equal an economic slow down/middle income trap prediction, but it works well as a straw man. Remember, the prediction was 2026 but that was pushed back to 2035 where china might get parity with the USA in terms of GDP.
