China may be going down the old Soviet path to disintegration

Every time someone comes up with such an article, the economic indicator and data of China keeps on getting better.

Atawolf is always entertaining wishing for China's demise.

I think he got rejected by a Chinese girl once.

I never found a Chinese girl attractive. 99% are under my standard. I would have gone into details but it is not allowed to be politically incorrect on this forum.

LOL, on which planet do you live? As you can see chinese leaders are massively under pressure, what makes you think that scam race is not manipulating China's figures? Even official China's figures look very bad.

Chinese Leaders Face Mounting Pressure As Slowdown Concerns Grow

Will China’s economy have a hard or a soft landing? That was a question I was often asked when I was in New York, but struggled to answer. On one hand, I knew too well that theories, like the Solow Model, tell us an economy can’t keep growing forever. On the other hand, I also understand that a crash – a.k.a. hard landing – may not arrive in a form that many expect because the Chinese government is so proactive in cushioning the economy from negative shocks.

Xinhua News Agency reported today that China’s urban fixed asset investment reached $1.74 trillion in the first four months. The growth rate was 0.3 percentage points slower than the first quarter although it was up 17.3% on the yearly basis. On the same token, the country’s factory output growth and retail sales growth both missed estimates.

China’s PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) announcements have been grabbing lots of attention too these past few years. The latest figure released by the end of April showed that the country’s manufacturing sector recorded a contraction for the fourth straight month. As a more reliable indicator of the economy’s health than GDP, the PMI indicates a slowdown in activities in the world’s workshop, while other indicators, such as private investment in fixed assets and power consumption, are also reflecting a softening trend.

The numbers have become the story. Private investment in fixed assets in China grew 20.9% to 4.43 trillion yuan in the first quarter. But that was a slowdown from growth of 24.1% in the same period a year earlier.

Moreoever, Xinhua quoted official figures stating that power use by the primary industry, i.e. business related to natural resources and the manufacturing of certain products, fell 7 % to 17.4 billion kwh in the first three months.

Beijing’s technocrats say the phlegmatic scenario was brought on by a listless rebound in the U.S. and Europe , along with slack demand in emerging markets. In response to the slowdown, the government unveiled some measures, dubbed “mini stimulus,” which mainly focuses on raising funds for railways and social housing by early April.

But as the indications of a slowdown continue to mount, the speculation is growing, too, as to what might trigger another round of large-scale stimulus. Investors and businessmen still have the events of 2009 fresh in their minds, when the government stepped in to shore up the economy by pouring in 4 trillion yuan. Looking upon the nation’s leadership for largesse has become an overriding factor in a market where the government plays such an active role.

And that leads us to another question: Did the government use the 4 trillion yuan wisely the last time? Without the benefit of seeing the long-term and lasting effects, much debate has been focusing on the inefficiency of Beijing’s earlier generosity. In fact, the government’s recent reluctance to bail out shipbuilder China Rongsheng Heavy Industry Group and solar panel maker Chaori Solar Energy Science & Technology are seen by many as proof that authorities are intent on tightening the purse strings.

At a time when the Chinese economy has reached a crossroad of turning from investment-led to consumption-centered growth, the question is whether the country’s leaders can avoid the temptation to resort to further stimulus measures and follow through with what may prove to be painful but much needed reforms.

There is a lot of difference. I met both Japanese and Chinese. And I even lived with a Japanese.

Japanese girls looks much better than Chinese in most cases, and their skin texture

Personality is a manifestation of inner self, race and nationality has nothing much to do with it.

Now you are being dumb trying to generalise a whole country.

Anyway keep hating a country that will become a superpower within the next 10-15 years.

Good, i'd love to see that people chanting how China is going to "collapse" in every year.

Soviet collapse didn't happen every year. It just happened once and then it was over ...

All your neighbors are already preparing and building up their armies to capitalize on the opportunity.

Don't see it as a bad thing. Everybody will get better off it in the neighborhood.

I really cannot fathom the stupidity of this so-called turks.

Welcome to send your turkish brigade over again.

China will brake up itself because of stupidity as explained in the article. Turkey, Japan, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam will take advantage of it.


If China starts another war with our allies, we will send another brigade. In Korean war we took 3 million Chinese souls but at the end there is peace and South-Koreans are forever thankful to us. Yesterday we freed South Korea, tomorrow we will free Uighur, Tibetans and some Chinese regions that are hostile to Beijing.


Your economy is dependend on foreign trade. Your domestic market is nonexistent because of poor Chinese farmers. Those farmers are kind of getting tired of China's racist approach. One class is living normal life, other class is living the life of a dog. We want to help these people brake free from Beijing so they can live normal life.

Ive seen these opinion pieces of China collapsing/"truth of the economy" coming out since 2006 or so in various western publications, every year they predict that the next year China will fail.

Now you know how we feel when we see another 'U.S. Collapse Is Imminent' piece posted by the many PressTV/ RT numbnutz on this site. YAWN !!

 

[l'ingénieur]

You don't know China at all.

So you are saying our neighbors are like vultures, catfish and rats?
Lowly animals waiting for greater animal to stumble.

Sad.

We have this rabid Atatdog leading a pack of rats, catfish and vultures against a giant panda. Each one too cowardly to be the first to step foward.
