So that link at the bottom redirects to an NPR interview (https://www.npr.org/2023/11/15/1213287201/how-chinas-weakened-economy-plays-into-talks-between-biden-and-xi) and it’s just a bog standard interview? This exchange here is a little funny:
[ARI SHAPIRO, HOST]: How big an economic funk is China in right now? Is this a country in decline or just growing less quickly than it used to be?
[ROBERT DALY]: I think the latter. It’s growing less quickly. It is in the midst of its biggest economic crisis since it began opening up in 1978, but I think that many in the West have been too quick and too triumphalist to declare that this is peak China and that China is done. There’s - you know, they face structural difficulties, but they still have a lot of strengths.
The guy never makes any sort of numerical comparison between the US and China. The closest he gets is to say that this “economic funk” is nowhere near as bad as the 2008 recession. That “64%” seems to be imaginary.
Out of her ass, you say?
like a dagmad acme mallet
this is peak China and that China is done.
Glaring at the 1992 Chicago Bulls and announcing, “This is it. They’ve peaked. They’re over as a franchise.”
Evidence doesn’t matter in the vibes-based international order
Neither does the fact that China’s real estate industry is deflating like a balloon, yet China is still netting 5% YoY GDP growth.
BREAKING: Recent analysis shows that since Biden entered the Whitehouse, presidential dumps have registered a 5 point decrease on the Bristol stool chart.
Concerning
I can’t imagine Trump had the healthiest shits either. After all, he was the man who stated people had to flush their toilets “five or six times”
CORRECTION It was 10,15, times.
Trump would have made this claim whether it applies to him or not though. It’s just a perfect distillation of vacuous recreational l reactionary grievance politics that it needs no basis in reality whatsoever. It’s more self evidently true to them that the commies made the toilets weak than it is that violent crime rates are exploding in immigrant-filled blue cities or whatever.
entered the Whitehouse
At least take it out for dinner first, damn
BREAKING a hole buncha bullshit i just made up

It’s all in the defense industry.
I can totally believe that the US wastes enough money on bloated healthcare costs, bombs, financial scams and addictive apps that it bloats our GDP figure to exceed China’s based-on-reality economy.
Ok now compare industries. Or PPP. Or GDP without FIRE
Damn they even let Kamela out of her shed
I dont doubt that those numbers are real but I think the numbers come from such a obtuse angle that it makes them seem impressive.
The only thing America knows how to do is look at a bad situation, naturally occuring or not, and ask how can we profit from it? The decline of education, the debt traps and the desire to bring manufacturing back to the US is no coincidence. They want to slowly take the country back to the early 20th century. US economy and society is dying and the powers that be are responding with what can we do to make this swing in our favor.
The future is more of the population with shitty bullshit jobs with no progression or pay and lots of unemployment. They intend to control us that way by keeping a small base of people who can live decent lives with real jobs or atleast ones that pay. Theyll try to leverage our suffering into joining the military to keep the only thing that props up the US economy, imperialism. Basically what we have now, but more of it.
“outpacing china in the stomping homeless people to death industry by 80% and that’s something to be proud of”
