 Do you honestly think you are not?  Like some voice of ideologically-sanitised criticism here to point out everyone else's internal contradictions and bias? srsly?

Organized anti-communist movements remain in opposition to the People's Republic of China and other communist nations.


Ok, so if China and other communist states were overthrown / are no longer communist, what are you rooting for? And why bring it up when rgio was actually talking about the property debt crisis and aging demographic of China?

The epithet "communist" is so far removed from what Marx had in mind it has become absolutely meaningless. One-party rule, autocratic government, dictatorships or even just plain old imperialists are all terms that are way closer to political reality than "communist".

The point was that when it comes to China, implosions or collapses have been predicted (or supposed) regularly. Whether on the basis of ideology and/or economics (facts).

Almost, as I alluded to, as if there is a desire in play. At least you don't share this desire, however anti-communists, an actual common conspiracy (or rather ideology), do.

China's failure would not be good for anyone, and your assumption I'm hoping for it is just conspiratorial, tribal BS.

Too late. Apparently everyone's owned by China (or Russia) already.


Russia 2022 GDP $2.24 Trillion

California 2022 GDP $ 2.875 Trillion

Russia may have oil and nukes, but they don't own much beyond their borders. 

As for China... They are imploding a bit right now, and the promise of a middle class is rotting in the 1 billion+ apartments that are unfinished and worthless, taking with it the life savings of millions and millions of Chinese nationals. 

But keep pedaling the demise of the US... many seem to like reading about it.

That's pretty cool, but I'm not sure the world is ready for having beta sources floating around everywhere. Nickel-63 is a good choice, though. Wonder how they are separating out the nickel-63. I know how I'd look at doing it but I ain't telling.
