Gordon Chang predicted China's collapse 20 years ago, and is still making this prediction for two decades up to now .

Oh Gordon Chang my favorite, as soon I see "China Expert" I knew it was him

[SEERLEE]

As a Chinese, Gordon Chang has always been my absolute favorite! Who needs logic when you can binge on his decade-old buffet of 'China Collapse' fanfiction?

The Chinese economy has been “collapsing” everyday since 2000, taking a break only on Sunday.

Major indexes had their worst year since 2008 due to factors like recession, war, high interest rates, and persistent inflation. With over $745K in equity from a home sale, I'm unsure whether to invest now or wait. What does 2025 hold for investors?

Has Gordon forgotten that USA is on the verge of bankruptcy.

[warrior-xdxn]

Crazy these people believe China alone is suffering

[MKiurinuRigold]

Both countries are in a lose lose situation and dragging the world with it

[DevanMcBride-mc]

We hold the high cards. The cards are made in china.

Why are you still talking about China? You wanted to bring manufacturing back. Start building factories today. Time's running out before shelves go empty.

According to Gordon Chang, China has been having its 2008 moment every year for at least the last 10 years.

I really do not understand, people from countries with much lower economy growth rate are saying China economy is collapsing.
This guy been talking China's economy is going to collapse for so many years, yet China is doing good than US.

[kadarabdullahi]

"Don't belive your eyes!"

[SteveX-ix]

[Andrew-qwf]

America has to deal with its 36 trillion debt

[NiceTravel]

Gordon Chang is a total joke.

As an exporter, I shipped fruit from California and Washington to China for more than 20 years. In 2017, I chartered a whole Boeing 737 of cherries to central China. The Chinese consumers like American fruit, from apples, oranges to cherries and strawberries to plums. The trade war and the pandemic put a stop to it. In the beginning of the year, we had high hopes of Trump promoting more businesses and we planned to charter more planes to China with fruit. Now, I have growers calling me to explore more U.S. domestic sales. The U.S. farmers are suffering and crying. And now, for the first time, I see chicken feet on sale in Costco stores; they used to go to China for big bucks. We need win-win trade deals with China. Trump is destroying the American economy and reputation. I hope he wakes up sooner better than later. China hawks in America know how to demonize China but they have no clue about how to work with China to make America greater.
