    Don’t cherry pick data. It’s not useful.

    You’re the one doing mental gymnastics here. “Oh yeah the Chinese economy is growing every year but it’s not GROWING growing, you see if you jumble the numbers a bit more you can actually get a negative number” fuck off dude.

      I’m not jumbling numbers. Just look at a chart of GDP over time, or easier GDP change over time. It’s easy to see. I’m not saying China is collapsing, but the growth is slowing. There’s no need to make things up. It’s still growing faster than almost anyone else.

        Well yeah. This is clearly just a post making fun of all the “China is collapsing” shit you see in liberal media and spaces when the truth continues to be the opposite. Probably not aimed at you if you understand the nuances.
