Not a lib.

China's economy is just like that of Palestine before the genocide started. Everybody knows this.

There were more really informative links too and totally not at all just making shit up with imaginary numbers:

lol China’s TFR is 0.6. There will not be a Chinese century. There may not even be a Chinese decade

cope

When I want unbiased information on Bad Country I always go to the Wall Street Journal, as they have no axe to grind as we all know.

projection

Most western countries use extremely warped methods for unemployment statistics to help pretend that it's an individual's fault they can't find good employment. The US frequently reports the U-3 category as 'unemployment', when U-6 is closer (and still underreported). The UK unemployment rate excludes people out of work for 4 weeks (and many other exceptions like 0-hour contracts, or outside circumstances obstructing them).

The true rates are almost always at least twice as high.

Shit, that suggests 5-6x higher than reported in the US. Certainly believable.
