    For the people who don't like doing the math, he's put the probability of a full collapse at 2.7%, the probability of effective full recovery at 8.3%, and the slow decline of China's economy at 88.8%. Note: I seriously doubt he'd stand behind those exact numbers, but I thought some people might want the percentages rather than the abstracted die rolls.

    This video is nonsense. I don't think China is going to descend into chaos any time soon. But nobody knows. Secondly their problems are way worse than 2008. I lived in America in 2008. It wasn't that bad. It didn't affect me at all. There are actual catastrophic problems in China that dwarf 2008. Could the CCP keep kicking their problems down the road? Maybe. Will it lead to a collapse like the Soviet Union? Probably not. Did some bad things happen in 2008? Sure. But we were hardly eating rats. Some people got evicted out of houses they never should have bought in the first place. Some people lost their jobs. It happens. It wasn't Armageddon. Some very rich people lost a lot of money. Not sad about that. Sorry. 2008 was mostly a rich person problem. Wall Street lost money. Oh no.

    i disagree for one main reason china is a socialist state, its goal is not to grow infinitely, but to reach an economy with adequate living conditions for all, and to work within the limits of the environment that contradicts the childish idea of infinite growth, Hence china is trying to produce what it needs, if population decline is happening they will be the first country to purposefully degrow and only meet their needs. that's the main mistake liberal economists do.

    The problem with most of these videos analysing the fiscal policies of the CCP fail to look at the social impact. The hyperinflation that comes from continuous money printing will affect everyone like you say. The middle class will have their savings wiped out (as we are seeing in the property bubble), but the poor will just starve. Add into this mix, the Zero-Covid policy and energy problems that means manufacturing levels can not be maintained. Also the food production in the country has taken a hit from extreme climate patterns - with droughts and floods affecting many crop-producing regions. I think a holistic full recovery will be years in the making.

    100% agree. A 3rd factor is most of China's debt is held in it's own currency, not foreign denominated. The only plausible 'collapse' would be political, but, my thesisfor years has been that they have been ramping up totalitarian measuresand anti foreign sentiment precisely to prepare for the deleveraging of the property bubble as it steps on so many toes. The mortgage strikes are big but not enough to rattle authorities, they will cautiously stimulate and restructure debts. Big question is how do they drive up productivity again without feeding back into a housing bubble? They need to follow through with the promise of a property tax, a land value tax would be even better.

    It's a recognizable pattern in ultra-nationalist ideologies. In propaganda, the enemy is depicted as simultaneously both strong and weak, so that the people will both fear them yet still feel superior to them. So china is both a menacing threat and yet somehow will disappear in 25 days. I'm not claiming that the west has completely fallen to fascism, but there is definitely a certain strain of shitty nationalism where this is coming from. And of course the other side is probably even worse; Russia totally bought into that "the West is in decline" bullshit and thought Ukraine would be easy pickings. China probably would have similar delusions about the west if not for that wake-up call.

When has billions of dollars vanished from American personal savings accounts? When has America built a housing bubble on unfinished and worthless properties? That is only the tip of the iceberg. Sure, America survived recessions and the Great Depression, but what did America look like during and immediately after the Great Depression? Things were a mess for years, and if it weren't for WW2 restarting the American economy, the bad times would have lasted longer.

    Probably about the same as a very sick man does not always dies because of his sickness. China's economy is crippled or in a more technical term; In a sharp decline but it will not completely collapse the whole economy or the country itself like USSR because it is very likely that they will regain control over their declining economy. If they did collapse however, the whole world will also have to suffer because of it. It is true that china can collapse just like every other country. In fact China has collapsed so many time in the past mostly because of internal conflict but there was also opium and the war with Japan combined with internal conflict with the warlords and the communist party of Mao Zedong. The current China however, will probably not going to collapse so easily.

    One fundamental difference between China and Japan is geography. The entirity of Japan is coastal, most of China is inland. If the Chinese coastline declared indepdence it will be a developed nation. I mean you see this in the US, yes, California and Washington are highly developed states, but Alabama is never going to be nearly as developed. Same thing in China, the coast has already been developed the inland provinces are still going to be poor and underdeveloped. The Chinese government currently takes money from the coast and redistrubute it to the inland provinces. If you look at a government revenue map, the only provinces that actually make contributions to the government budget are on the coast the rest of the regions are always in the red. If China fractures, which it has in the past, many of the inland provinces will iterally become Afgan levels of poor, which happened in the warlord era.

    Not in FIAT money printing world. In real terms and what the working middle class will feel, yes there will be inflation. But there is no alternative for the citizens. Capital controls and the general control means that citizens can't do anything to avoid money printing to bail out the banks. (No human in the world can currently do anything to stop the money printing). They are not able to convert their wealth into hard money that does not inflate easily like bitcoin, gold or real estate abroad. So because a bank run is not actually possible, the printing of money will be framed as something absolutely necessary and without anyone calling out the insanity (because everyone is printing money) the strong manufacturing sector (as mentioned in this video) will eat up the inflation internally gradually with tweaks. Meaning products from China will become slightly more expensive (the world will easily accept this, as all the money printing governments will say it is because of the China lockdowns and global issues in general) and the exploding growth will be toned down, so it will just take a bit longer for the Chinese lower class to become middle class due to growth compared to the last decade (during which it was very fast). That is why all the stability and the policy changes are happening in China. China is educating engineers to actually make stuff and innovate to keep the manufacturing sector strong and even more competitive. They are not educating influencers and "the next killer app" and "platform" developers because that is volatile economic growth and not stable as actual innovation in manufacturing and engineering.

    As someone living here , having a Chinese wife that works for the local Government this is my observation. Real estate in most tier 1/2 cities has been in a bubble waiting to pop and has came down a little this year. This would go hand in hand with CCP's rhetoric of housing should be for living and not speculation and hopefully they will introduce the new property tax in trail mode in certain provinces to bring it down a little more. But in saying that for my city when ever I go past any construction sites they are all full steam ahead and there are literally hundreds of them. Bank runs as far as I know were mainly in the Henan province due to the Rural bank saga ( bank was allegedly infiltrated by organized crime ) assets frozen as a audit and investigation happen, as it is not a State own bank the peoples money was not insured , complicated and will take too long to explain. Mortgage dispute is mainly for some low tier cities , with some issues in some larger cities, mainly due to covid supply issues as well as some smaller developers maybe over leveraged .The central Gov has asked some banks to give a 6 month grace period on payments to those worst effected as well as injecting cash to get the projects on track ( this effects maybe 1% of all mortgages in China ) Most cities have not suffered too many major covid lock downs since 2020, only notable exceptions are Shanghai early this year and some parts of Beijing the worst effected with a few sporadic cases here and there( Fuzhou where I live no lock down since June 30 2020 ) Due to China's 24/7 online shopping for anything and everything with an excellent delivery/postal service the effects of lock downs could be some what offset , I know this personally as my wife gets something delivered daily 🥴 . Grocery / food shopping is commonly done via apps and home delivered ( I seldom go to the supermarket ) My wife is Finance manager for the transport sector and she said most projects for our area are running on time ( roads , bridges ect ) Food cost have not really change too much and the stock market seems ok ( well my investments anyway are all well up , but maybe I am just good at it 😄) As I live directly across from Taiwan 160 km to be precise the mood of the people is normal and there is nothing abnormal to prior the cross straight tensions ,if anything it seems quieter than before the Pelosi visit as for a while there it would be common to hear jets once or twice a week ) Anyway not saying there aren't any issues just speaking from my own personal experience, but I am far from being an economic expert ! One other notable thing is we haven't had Typhoons yet , which is uncommon and it has been stinking hot . Ok take care .

Im sure many people were saying "The US economy will collapse" during the booming years post WW2 and it never did pan out to their expectations, but guess what? They eventually were right in 2009. An economy has to collapse at some point. And this very well may be Chinas time.

Compared to other KZread channels who mainly just wanted to get viewership and appease their audience (which we all know, those that just wanted to live in their "Karen reality"), you are probably one of the few that speaks out what's going on through economist's POV. Keep up the good work Dr., with you being around, KZread doesn't seem as fabricated as it may be now.

    Spot on. And how & why does the birth rate drop so drastically? Because of the over-capitallized education system and housing market. In China, it is "politically correct" to believe that everybody, no matter what class you fit in, should have equal chance to get educated and a roof over your head as shelter for family, so when businessmen got over ahead of themselves, exploiting ppl's basic need for houses and education too much, essentially increased too much the cost of normal ppl's livelihood, the ppl would expect and require the govt to step in and do something about it or ppl can not afford to have babies any more, especially for young ppl. Again, to sacrifice the short term profit of private education sector and housing market for long term overall benefit of the whole society, this is how Chinese society works. Will young ppl be more willing to reproduce? We don't know but at least the Chinese are trying, making the hard decisions.

    The crackdown of online games an real estate was definitly a good decision long run, their laws are well though. They have proven that they are ready to sacrifice in the short term for long term benefits. The education thing... They're trying to avoid becoming like south korea or Japan, where youth suicide is the highest in the world, because schools are too competitive.
