China mortgage boycott data erased by censors as crisis spreads
I was one of those people that thought China would never collapse due to its iron grip on economy and population.  But look at recent activities<p>* Chinese GDP shrinks to 0.4% in Q2 2022.  Which is still suspicious because Shanghai economic activities declined -40%, and real estate overall activities dropped -30%<p>* Massive mortgage boycott.  Also public protests against lost deposits and unable to access bank is being aired out in Chinese social media.  Also property bond crash spreading<p>* The 1 billion people data leak has some experts analyzing the data and figuring that the Chinese population is already in decline, and only at 1.2B currently.  Which means the population is going to half its size sooner than 2100<p>* Chinese firms are still selling Russia good its military needs <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wsj.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;chinese-firms-are-selling-russia-goods-its-military-needs-to-keep-fighting-in-ukraine-11657877403" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wsj.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;chinese-firms-are-selling-russi...</a>, incurring the wraths of normal folks in Europe and other allied countries.<p>* Zero covid practice still going on, with tons of public discontent.  There are videos of the people waiting in line to test in the pouring rain and huge wind!<p>* Zeihan gaining more popularity, which implies that people do believe that China is crashing.  Foreign investors and companies are pulling out in record numbers<p>* public sector employees taking 30% salary cuts<p>Makes me think there will be a massive public unrest and Chinese government will likely collapse soon. What do people think?
