    After 30 days, these content creators will reset China’s collapse timer and still get millions of views per video. They know these Sinophobes only care about breathing in their daily dose of hopium, not facts, and will desperately eat up whatever collapse circle jerk spiel like it’s the only food around.

    Anyone who does business with China or is an ex-pat living in the country knows the nation’s economy is far from collapsing.

      Yep, this is pretty much just to clickbait for views.

      The market for Sinophobic and self-hating gusano types is extremely oversaturated so they have to resort to this to fight for scraps lol.

      They won’t reset so much as just keep the timer perpetually in the future. It’s like what they did with saying all the Uyghur Muslims would be gone by x time or they’ve killed x amount meanwhile they are still there and somehow the world’s slowest genocide is still killing millions a day.

      If I had to pick one piece of evidence for the crushing despair inherent to the capitalist workplace, it would be that it has birthed an entire bouquet of religions that prefers to it the alternative of the imminent literal end of the world

    It is manufactured consent failing spectacularly. The US gas been gearing up for war, but China has just refused to engage. So you end up with the comucal situation of the US trying to provoke China and China itself not giving a fuck. As so preparations towards war continues in the absence of war itself. This includes endless China bad/failing stories as part of manufactured consent.

      These people are YouTubers as well. How can you actually believe some random YouTuber knows every ins and outs about a country as massive as China? Even to the point that they manage to predict when China will collapse?

      Governments and their resources can’t even do that.

        They’ll probably believe anything that fits with their preconceived notion of the Bad Countries™, like train pushing in the DPRK or China murdering millions of girls due to the 1CP

          There’s this movie called Dinosaur, where a Dinosaur befriends a group of monkeys, and there is a scene in it where the monkeys are dangling a baby on top of a tree, sort of ready to throw it down.

          When I heard about the one child policy (as a child, mind you), I always imagined that scene but with Chinese parents and their kids. Looking back, it’s kind of stupid lmao.

            They teach it to us as if it’s literal state-sponsored infanticide with baby receptacles where you throw infant girls or something, instead of monetary and tax incentives. It’d be pretty comical if it weren’t so insidiously pervasive.

        A lot of people have more confidence on random youtubers than in traditional media and the government. Of course they’re not going to have a sober reading of reality, whatever if its about China or any other topic.

    Remember that the US spends something like half a billion dollars in just anti-China propaganda.

      lol same, even on a new incognito session these pop up…

      Even worse after watching a few random Chinese videos, either they be about games, tv shows or cooking and you’ll end up getting FLG trash recommended to you on the front page

    It doesn’t need to be astroturfed. It’s just a lucrative genre.

      True that, doesn’t have to be one or the other though. Good astroturfing works when actual people latch on to it. No doubt this increadibly clickbaity shit gets attention, makes money and therefore reproduces itself due to profitablity. Imo it still feels too artificial, too coordinated and to spontaneous to be entirely organic. Like that Business Basics channel. Gets 10k-20k most if its life, then suddenly starts making the “CHINA HAS COLLAPSED” videos a couple months ago with that same thumbnail and suddenly clocks millions of views every time.

      They also seem to flood people’s feeds that don’t watch this kind of stuff at all.

    So I’m assuming China has access to Juche necromancy, this is the only way their economy can supposedly keep dying every few months according to these people.

    in all seriousness, what is the current state of china’s real estate economy?

    “China’s future expansion will almost certainly be limited by the fact that there’s a finite amount of space on planet Earth. Unless China can come up with the technology needed for interstellar propulsion, the end is in sight for China’s boom times.”
