I'm still waiting for the "China set to collapse" outcome. For the better part of 20 years the so called smartest people out there have claimed a collapse is just around the corner. It hasn't yet played out, and I wouldn't hold your breath today either.

All of the current weakness in China is the result of policy steering the country away from Keynesian spending. No question, following such a path has an impact in the short term. It should, however, put China on a much stronger fiscal foundation over time.

That’s interesting. They’re really trying to get away from deficit spending etc?

China has some real serious issues, but so does every large economy. Saying they’ll imminently collapse feels like fear induced cope to me
