China really pulled off a soft landing tbh

Somehow consumer demand is rising again despite the liquidity crunch

The growth rate is still lower than the pre-COVID years...

It's a soft landing, not a soft takeoff

China had like 33% growth in exports in a single year during the pandemic. They had to normalize eventually.

Is that really weird? We live in a world of weakened impulse control. People consume to fill the void inside of them.
