    These two aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive.

      What is mutually exclusive, though, is reality and China’s “imminent collapse” which has been looming just around the corner for the past 20 years

        Idk people are saying the same things about the western markets as they have been for decades. Maybe a significant portion of people are just naturally drawn to crash prophets.

            Then you are not engaging in economically interested circles.

      Pundits have been predicting the economic collapse of the PRC for decades, there’s an entire sub-industry dedicated to “China Watching” that makes good revenue from predicting xyz economic collapse, and it exists because the West wants the PRC to open up its markets for foreigners to plunder freely, rather than the current situation where trade in China is heavily controlled and managed.

      Agreed. I’m not saying that “collapse is imminent is accurate”, but don’t act like these are mutually exclusive when the idiom “a candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long” is accurate (to itself - literally the candle).

        Yeah. Anyway what’s with the weird fixation this website has for china? The whole frontage is constantly spammed with memes praising the CCP.

          Lemmy is developed by Marxist-Leninists, so there are a bunch of us Marxist-Leninists and other forms of anticapitalists here. MLs generally uphold the CPC and PRC as legitimate Socialism and a positive, progressive force.

            Makes sense, thanks for the context. I wouldn’t exactly argue that the current Chinese administration has a lot in common with MLs ideas but let’s not open that can of worms. :)

              We don’t have to open it if you don’t want to, but if you change your mind, I have a bunch of resources I can offer and explanations for what you think may not connect.

                Well I don’t have the time right now to get into a lengthy discussion (which this would require to do it justice), but if you don’t mind you can post the resources and I’ll check them out in a bit!

                  Without knowing your specific critiques, I’ll point you to this comment I’ve made regarding the CPC’s strategy, as well as this introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list I made, and this Socialism with Chinese Characteristics Study Guide by Qiao Collective.
