It’s some comfort to know that libs are probably going to be mad about China’s economy for the rest of my life. Any time I want, for as long as I live, I can go on the internet and read a brand new article about how China is going to collapse any day now.
That collage showing many youtube videos with Xi Jinping and announcing the imminent end of the CPC brings me immense joy
This book published in 2001 predicted China would collapse by 2011. In late 2011 the author adjusted the prediction to 2012, and to "bet on it". I doubt bookies take those kind of bets but I hope he lost money on it.
He had the wisdom to not make another specific prediction since, unlike the China Bad YouTubers.
Should've known that from the beginning, that's prophecy grifting 101.
