I'm from the US. I have no idea what numbers or news are real anymore (if I ever did). I'm impressed by either your ability to discern this for China or by your confidence that you can.

Sure, you are. You created this account 2 hours ago, all comments anti China, perfect english and you write about China as "their" country in one of the comments.

FWIW, I do the same thing when referring to the US if my being American is immaterial to the point or observation. It is a way of intentionally not privileging your opinion.

Rare to see "you're a bot" be invoked for anti-Chinese sentiment. Thanks for the tickle today!

Propaganda can only work for so much. At some point, what you see and experience with your own eyes beats what you can convince me of what the truth is. If China is “collapsing” while producing all these EVs, Solar and high tech stuff then what would it do in a “healthy” economy? Colonize the moon?
