Capitalist countries have avoided Marx’s epidemic of overproduction because they have come to recognize that workers are also consumers. These governments have let wages rise to drive up demand.
I am sure labor pressure had nothing to do with it.
China should learn from this example. It must enrich its own citizens by encouraging collective bargaining, providing social security, removing caps on wage growth, and raising the minimum wage. Doing so could allow China’s consumption to eventually match its production prowess. If Beijing does not adopt a more pro-worker stance, its economy will become more lopsided, trade tensions will rise, and Chinese citizens will not be able to reap the full benefits of the economic miracle that they have created and rightly deserve.
This means America will do the same, right? 
America will do the same, right? 
If that article substituted China with "The World" it would be more accurate title.
And yeah they have a consumption issue, but like, wouldn't a better solution be to guarantee jobs and reduce inequality? Why is it that the best solution these writers come up with is: Increase this number, decrease that number. Guaranteed jobs would also encourage people to pursue education rather than grinding hard for your diploma that contests with thousands, millions of other people with the same diploma, making it worthless and now you're phd working for food delivery driver with 0 prospect of a future, of course you won't consume or strive at all in that situation.
Just get the lowest entry job, earn enough to afford food and be happy. Of course consumption is going to be low, but the problem is more complicated than just consumption. I'm not very smart though I'm just a random online person who reads a lot of books, did the person who write that article actually read Karl Marx?
But shit's like bad. I've been chatting with Netizens all over the world and there's so many people in this position where they feel it's pointless to compete, they just earn the bare minimum to survive and that's it. Has anyone actually tried to approach them? Thousands of youth in their 20's and they've already given up on life, this is like so frustrating. They could be turned into productive members of our society and a lot of them are quite bright and love to learn, they just end up spending the learning hours on shit like vidya games, which is fine on moderation, but like they obviously want to be good, so many of them feel ashamed of themselves, their self-esteem is just obliterated and nobody seems to understand that beating them with a stick won't fix it, they need a healthy environment, firm, but fair.
Why can't real life be made as exciting as a videogames that people seem to love learning about and love working towards? I guarantee there's a way to turn all these young depressed people into powerful force for good, but people just want to call them lazy and scold them. Make the real world more fun, guarantee some sort of achievements for people who live in it, make it more exciting. I finished my education? Nice now I get to do X for sure, tried harder? Have a bonus. Instead you do all this shit and for what? Buy labubu and be happy? I am what I do and i don't wanna be a consumer while my boss gets to live. Fuck that shit.
