The ‘China Century’ Is Over

Original Article

Posted By: RockyTCB, 8/25/2023 6:48:00 AM

For decades we’ve heard that China will some day, very soon, be the world’s hegemon, both through its stunning economic growth and its rising military might. Move over, America, here comes China. Just as the 1900s were the “American Century,” the 2000s would be the “China Century.” Not so fast. Google “The China Century” and you get 1 billion hits. It’s that ingrained as an economic truism. But in recent years, China has entered a kind of doom loop of debt accumulation, population shrinkage and a productivity slowdown that is eroding its once powerful economic growth and threatens

Socialism, to which Xi us returning, will eventually kill China economically. As the editorial writer warns, America should not go down the same path (but is under the Resident and the Uniparty).

Yep. They had their shot and they blew it. They forgot about "capitalism with Chinese characteristics" and went full commie.

A war between the US and China would fulfill the Globalists' dreams. Two big superpowers would wipe themselves from the face of the Earth and reduce the population tremendously. Problem is, who is going to fund NATO, the UN, World Health, Green Madness and keep Europe afloat once the big piggy banks are gone?

In the early nineties Japan was becoming the world's economic powerhouse and it was predicted they would surpass the US. IMO it never materialized because their children became "westernized" and lost the initiative. The same may be happening in China.

I think India may have a shot at being the big kid on the block. The country has potential, but it has problems too. We'll see.

Where is this information coming from? If you go to Panama and see the ships loaded with Chinese goods lined up for miles to go through the canal shows me that China is making all kinds of money off stupid Americans that allowed our manufacturing to go over to China.

It appears that China's economic growth is tied to that of the U.S. When the U.S. economy hits the skids, so does China's. Both countries' economies are being run by communists/socialists. Look at the past economic data from past demolsut run regimes. Yes, Clinton's economy was somewhat robust, but that was a hangover from Reagan and a Congress run by Republicans. Clinton knew that going along was better than fighting. His idiot wife did not. Obozo made it his goal to tank the U.S. economy and its society as much as he could, and he's running the Biteme administration to continue his goal. Once the U.S. economy bounces back, so will China's.

China has returned to communist tyranny, and its growth has stopped, leaving the country with piles of debt that will never be paid.

China's currently largest economic disaster has been caused by their attempts to constrain economic freedom. Without safe investment markets like our stock markets, or bond markets, most middle class folks who wanted to "save for the future" chose real estate, one of the few long term investments that was available. So a large chunk of a billion people took their savings and for many years put them into buying an apartment 'for the future' with the idea of selling it at some time to get back their investment, plus some expected growth of that investment. Seems reasonable, right? This resulted in the building of 65 million empty, unfinished apartments, which makes up 50 whole ghost cities, complete with shopping malls, wide boulevards, streets, shrubbery - everything except people. These so-called ghost cities were built in the countryside, and there were and are no jobs near them. The population of China, instead of continuing the huge growth of generations past, is shrinking. So, 65 million apartments which will never, ever be occupied. Owned by many, many millions of ordinary Chinese, and after years of paying, they are stopping, realizing that their "investment" is worth nothing, and no one will buy it. The largest Chinese real estate company, Evergrande, has already collapsed into bankruptcy. Dozens of "completed" apartment buildings have already been blown up. They have no interiors, for Chinese cultural reasons, each home is finished inside only by the person who will live in it. The second largest Chinese real estate company, Country Garden, is circling the drain, will collapse soon. Additionally, the pandemic made many non-Chinese companies realize that 'on shoring' or 'near shoring', bringing back production capacity to the USA or at least North America, is far safer than depending on China. No more growth in Chinese industry paid for by outside money. China cannot consume internally more than a fraction of the goods that they produce, so products are piling up. Tens of thousands of unsold electric cars. Millions of excess bicycles. Those are the ones too big to hide. Spend some time on YouTube, see it with your own eyes. A guy who lived in China for years does a lot of interesting, educational videos...look up a YouTuber called 'serpentza', an former South African. China has peaked and is heading downward economically and demographically. This likely makes them particularly dangerous to their neighbors as Xi may lash out in anger and frustration.

Re #4....close on Japan, but instead of "the children becoming westernized".....there were no children. Japan just stopped having children. Look at their demographics. Same in China, but by law. And then the natural reduction in children born once they are off the farm. A child on a farm is free labor. A child in the city is a mouth to feed. People in cities have fewer, always have.

This will be the NORTH AMERICAN CENTURY. Mexico is low cost producer for low end manufacturing and assembly. The USA is low cost producer for High End Manufacturing and Design Canada is massively expanding their raw material mining and participating in select niche manufacturing.

Shortly after we ran a review of the first Republican primary debate, Google’s ad network, called AdSense, blocked its ads from appearing on that page. It said the piece, written by veteran communications specialist Bob Maistros, violated two of Google’s content rules because it contained “dangerous or derogatory content” and “unreliable and harmful claims.” These are impossibly vague standards, and while Google tells us we must “fix” the article in order for its ads to appear on that page, it provided no indication of what exactly violated either of these rules or what would constitute a fix.

We’re about half way through the 2023 hurricane season, predicted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasters to be a near-normal year, and it’s been rather quiet. But with a few storms brewing this week in the Atlantic, we expect to hear the usual shrieking from politicians, activists and the media, blaming the weather on man-caused climate change. Our suggestion is to pay no attention to the eco-screamers’ lamentations. On Sunday, the National Hurricane Center issued advisories for a hurricane and a tropical storm in the Atlantic Ocean, and an advisory for a tropical storm in the Eastern Pacific.

China’s economy has struggled recently as once-eager foreign companies depart and trade partners rethink their close ties with the increasingly dictatorial nation. As Beijing tightens control over its people and the economy, Americans have noticed. China has plunged to its second-lowest favorability level among U.S. voters, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. TIPP started tracking China’s favorability in March 2021. To compute the index, we use survey responses to the question: “Generally speaking, is your opinion of China: Very Favorable, Somewhat Favorable, Not Very Favorable, or Not At All Favorable?”

A coup d’etat is when a small group of people suddenly try to take power and subjugate a nation by force. A coup du publique is when a small group of people already in power try to further subjugate an entire population by methodically taking away whatever rights they may have left. That global sense of unease, that nearly audible universal skincrawl taking place across the planet, that unquestionable deprivation of the right to ask questions, that which is happening right now: that is the coup du publique in action. In a run-of-the-mill coup d’etat, it is axiomatic that the people staging the coup seize the radio station,

Ghoulish scold John Kerry, the White House’s climate hobgoblin, has repeatedly warned that the world is not on track to contain a 1.5-degree Celsius increase in global temperature above the pre-industrial level, and this means disaster is looming. Others have made the same point, and the media just goes along for the ride. Their predictions are worthless, though. We know this because the United Nations told us so. The rock-solid, undeniable fact is that it’s impossible to make long-term climate predictions, because our climate is ever changing and volatile. It says so in the Third Assessment Report from the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change:

A summer surge of COVID-19 has some wondering aloud if we should return to mask mandates. For now, the official line, despite the media effort to rekindle coronavirus hysteria, is that it’s unlikely. But we heard that before, in 2020, right before public health officials dropped their mask tyranny on us. If they do it again, we have an obligation to say no. Are we calling for civil disobedience? Are we suggesting that Americans resist orders that are not laws but are instead decrees issued by despots? Absolutely, and without reservation. Masks are dehumanizing.

Over the weekend, the New York Times reported that the Department of Justice had planned to let Hunter Biden completely skate on charges of tax fraud, felony gun possession, and whatever other felonies he’s committed. That is until a couple of whistleblowers blew the deal. So, plan B was a sweetheart plea deal, which blew up when the judge discovered a blanket immunity provision tucked into it. U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss was the guy who hoped to get Biden off and then cooked up the plea deal. This is bombshell evidence of corruption and favoritism. And how was Weiss punished?

Congressional investigators claim to have strong evidence that President Joe Biden and his family received a staggering $20 million or more in payments from foreign sources while he served as vice president under Barack Obama. If proven true, two-thirds of Americans say that Biden should either resign or be impeached, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll indicates. The accusation of possible bribery is serious. And a key House investigative panel says it has evidence, mostly bank statements, to back up claims that Biden took money from oligarchs in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. “The tally of foreign money to the Biden family has hit at least $20 million,

How do we know that Joe Biden has made a verbal blunder? His lips were moving. There are so many slip-ups and absurdities coming out of his mouth that it’s hard to keep up. But one recent gaffe stands out: The president said last week during an interview with the Weather Channel that he had already “practically speaking” declared a climate emergency. He of course hasn’t, but should he or another president do so, they would in effect also be declaring themselves to be an American kaiser who could issue tyrannical edicts with absolute power.

A majority of priests of the Church of England want the church to offer same-sex weddings and allow premarital and gay sex, according to a major survey. The survey, conducted by the Times, found most Anglican priests think church teaching should be brought into line with public opinion on moral issues. Most priests support a change to allow gay couples to get married in church, with 53.4 percent in favor and 36.5 percent opposed, revealed the survey, which assessed responses from 1,200 active Anglican priests. The Church of England currently allows blessings for gay couples but only permits church weddings between a man and a woman.

Last year, Chicago reported more than 21,000 vehicle thefts. In 2021, the number was “only” 14,000. Unfortunately, things are getting much worse. As of this writing, Chicago has experienced more than 20,000 vehicle thefts, with nearly four months before the year ends. But worry not, my fellow Chicagoans, Mayor Brandon Johnson has a plan that is sure to solve the problem: He is suing two automakers, Kia and Hyundai,

Federal revenue dropped $416 billion compared to this time last year, according to recently released U.S. Treasury Department data, despite the Democrats’ passage of their $780 billion Inflation Reduction Act last year. The legislation, which President Biden signed in August 2022, contained a 15% minimum corporate income tax, which still hasn't been fully implemented by the IRS. Experts at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and the Tax Foundation told Just the News that most of the revenue raising provisions in the IRA have not taken effect yet but they likely won't raise much revenue given the price-tag of the energy-related tax credits in the bill.
