Here are some quotes from article #1,000 about China being about to collapse.

Last year the country achieved growth of 5%, but

Xi Jinping’s response is to double down on an audacious plan to remake China’s economy. Blending techno-utopianism, central planning and an obsession with security

techno-utopianism = using science to improve your country. central planning = when the government does stuff. obsession with security = protecting China from the United States' various proxy forces in the region

the mood in China is dour

What amazing reporting. "China will collapse because, like, the vibes are fucked."

consumers are depressed, deflation lurks and many entrepreneurs are disillusioned

Yes, unlike in the United States of America. All our consumers love the high price of rent and groceries! No disillusioned people in the USA!

Relations with America are steadier, as a phone call between Mr Xi and President Joe Biden this week attested. But they remain fragile.

WWIII will happen tomorrow, no actually it won't, wait actually I don't really know. Either way, this is bad for China. I am very smart.

Either having mono or being monogamous, I don't care at this point. Just save me from the fright and eventual, inevitable destruction of myself by being exposed to a bunch of people who, if forced to watch Zone Of Interest, would give it a 2/5 rating on Letterboxd for "humanizing the inner lives of Nazis" because they sympathized with Hedwig wanting to travel to fascist Italian spas.

That's all

discovered this guy tonight. he thinks he’s gonna be the next president of China but is campaigning in English on western social media. def not a psyop! /s

he says he’s gonna democratize China and his first action as president will be to apologize to the world for covid

“once China becomes a democratic country it will give american entrepreneurs and companies lots of opportunities in the Chinese market”

he “respects” the “special requests” of the LGBT community but will enact legislation to “protect the children”
