Hey guys I'm sorry but China is not gonna beat the allegations this time. They'd be a much better country if they abandoned their inefficient investment system where the profits of capital investment pay for infrastructure and public services. They need to be civilized and rational and add those profits to the wealth leader board highlighting the shittiest people in the country.

Consider this lefties, If we didn't have capitalism would we even know how much of a shithead Elon Musk is? Hmm?

The other China — gloomy China — tells a different story: sluggish consumer spending, rising unemployment, a chronic housing crisis and a business community bracing for the impact of the trade war.

Housing crisis? Isn't China's homeless percentage nearly nonexistent while the US is as high as 40 homeless people per 10,000 total population? What the fuck are they even talking about?

I can't give an informed answer, but when I visited China for work I did see homelessness (people living in caves and getting water from a river as explained to me by our hosts). Not as prevalent as I've seen on the US West Coast
