Is China headed toward collapse?
2009-11-11
Hat tip, Instapundit
...thereÂ’s a growing group of market professionals who see a different picture altogether. These self-styled China bears take the less popular view: that the much-vaunted Chinese economic miracle is nothing but a paper dragon. In fact, they argue that the Chinese have dangerously overheated their economy, building malls, luxury stores and infrastructure for which there is almost no demand, and that the entire system is teetering toward collapse.

#4  I don't buy collapse but I do believe they may find a lost decade in their future, much like Japan did (and fearfully the US might). That's what happens when the underpinnings are covered in lies.

#2  Even if the Chinese economy did collapse, what would that look like? Any different from the way things are now?

#1  Nope. Just opened a luxury mall here and it's doing fine. Rolls-Royce dealership, too. Teetering towards collapse is wishful thinking, and anyway the Chinese are capable of incredible belt-tightening when the government tells them to.
