China's economy in crisis, on the brink of collapse?
After years of exceptional growth built on local government and private-sector debt, the world's second-largest economy is facing the bursting of its real estate bubble and a severe slowdown.
Sensationalist title with a question mark at the end of it?
The answer is almost always "no".

Doubly so for any headline predicting a financial crisis of any sort.

Thanks for digging up the important line. So annoying to have sensationalist headlines like this that bury the lede and completely disprove their own thesis several paragraphs down, but I mean as long as it gets that initial click…
Whoa no way, for real this time?!
Ahh yes, China is going to collapse with its measly 5.2% growth despite global economic malaise.

Xi is shitting his pants right now
China bet hard on developing countries because the developed world isn't growing at a rate that can keep up with China's economic growth targets. In fact, we're very quickly running towards the crossover point for Chinese trade dependence on the West vs. on the rest of the world.
Also, a big chunk of Chinese exports to the West is in computers and consumer electronics... Markets which have seen a huge slowdown due to commoditization and aggressive political lobbying from the US.

Crypto is so 2020 bro.

I've already converted all my fiat currency to various crypto including a modest sizing of Monero so I can anonymously transfer my money when China takes over our financial systems
I implore everybody else to do the same. The writing has been on the wall for decades
I implore everybody else to do the same.
Because if I run out of idiots and suckers to off load this worthless shit to I will lose big time.
