China’s real estate reckoning: Lessons from Japan’s lost decade - Kenneth Rogoff... "The key lesson from both episodes is that overinvestment during a housing boom simply cannot be unwound quickly. Excess supply hangs over the economy, discouraging new investment and weighing on activity long after volumes and prices peak." cepr.org/voxeu/columns/china…

Here is a China story with giant global implications. Car sales in the world's largest market have been dropping for 8 straight months. In May they plunged 22% YoY. That's a 400,000 car tank in a single month. Chinese automakers have reacted by doubling down on exports to markets worldwide. Gotta keep the factories running. 2022: 3.1M 2023: 4.9M 2024: 5.8M 2025: 8.3M 2026: 12M (f) Chinese cars are coming to your neighborhood, ravaging legacy automakers in Australia, the UK, Spain, Mexico and Brazil. reuters.com/world/asia-pacif…

China didn’t build an economic miracle. It built the world’s biggest debt experiment. And experiments don’t last forever When growth is fueled by borrowing, every vacant illuminated skyscraper, highway, and ghost city comes with a bill. How long can they keep the illusion alive?

6月5日，曼哈顿街头，几名中国人持五星红旗在街头集会。一名美国人对他们说：“你们这么爱中国，应该回中国去！”。一名中国人说：“美国领土应该属于中国，我们是爱中国的！”。

Fascinating to see that Chinese researchers and whistleblowers are exposing high profile science journals such as Nature for publishing fraudulent papers. This same rot mirrors the replication crisis and distrust of scientific journals that's been going on in the US. Prestigious journals like Nature, Science, and Cell have morphed into gatekeepers of narrative rather than truth, amplifying irreproducible work while sidelining inconvenient findings. Publish-or-perish incentives combined with ideological capture - DEI mandates, politicized climate and biomedical research - have all but eroded credibility. Fraudulent papers proliferate because the system rewards quantity and alignment with prevailing orthodoxies over careful replication and falsification. It's refreshing to see accountability surfacing in China. Maintaining public trust in science demands relentless scrutiny, not institutional sanctity.

¥2,000,000,000,000 erased from Chinese stock market today. It's happening.

The Chinese will look at you with a straight face and say “we think in centuries” as they plunge into a demographic crisis caused by one-child policy

At this point it’s obvious the billionaires are trying to kill us. What do you mean the new AI data center in Utah will raise the state’s nightly temperature by 20 degrees???

A shocking new study finds that the desire for children has collapsed among young people in China. In the most recent data some 32% of 18–24-year-olds, and nearly half of young women, said they don't want any children at all. 🧵.

🇨🇳 China accidentally invented a closed-loop economy: young men default to delivery, young women turn to livestreaming. Streamers spend on food and makeup, delivery guys spend their salaries on stream gifts, and somehow the whole thing sustains itself.

You can always trust Chinese soldiers ❤️

Despite contributing to just 16% of all research output, Chinese papers make up over 50% of all retractions.

China is better than USA in almost every conceivable way. If more Americans knew this they would riot.
