My fucking god. They are always wrong, and yet they still confidently predict China's economic collapse every 3 months

I love how China's economy has been consistently growing for literally decades on end, and every time they add 'unexpectedly' when the new numbers come out.

I do wonder whether the writers of these articles know this and they have an ulterior motive for the consistent wrong predictions, like propaganda, or if they literally do not understand managed economies because of their capitalist brain worms

Likely a combination of the two things. You don't get in a position to write these kinds of articles unless you already drink the kool aid. And drinking the kool aid means you already have existing biases that lead you to frame things in a certain way.

This must be giving PTSD to the older assholes in Pentagon, reminding them of the USSR's growth against every capitalist prediction
