Dear Tony,
Thank you for your unexpected China Update with updates, analyses, and interesting viewpoints!!! Thank you for all of your hard work and time and dedication to our knowledge of current events in China with your Wednesday China Update!!!
The Chinese crisis:
Property crisis and Local Fiscal crisis with its land use sales that is causing massive debt and a rural consumer crisis!! It continues to be a major problem!!!
China's supply chain into Japan being weaponized by China to punish Japan is intensifying with its threats to anyone who supplies Chinese dual use materials to Japan!! This escalation includes much needed strategic and rare earth minerals!!!
The question is: "what is Japan going to do in response besides condemnation?"
That South Korea is seemingly having closer ties to China is certainly very concerning!!! Is South Korea willing to distance itself away from western values?!! Do the South Korean people want to be like North Korea?!?! South Korea is trying to play both sides and they will be required to choose which side they are on or face sanctuons from one side or the other or even both sides!!! Not a comfortable place to be in today's world!!!
Thank you again for your special extra day of data!!
Please keep safe and stay healthy and pray often for wisdom and for global stability and peace to occur within our lifetime!!! All Glory to Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus The Christ) for All that He has done and will continue to do!!!!! I will see you on your next China Update probably tomorrow, Lord willing!!!!
Shalom!!!
I've been sitting on the fence for a long time re China being able to be part of and peaceful world economy. Fast coming to realization China wants all or nothing. They are war mongers, they cant help themselves.
I highly doubt Japan would want to use anything out of China in its military capabilities. The Japanese build quality, not cheap junk. I think they are resourceful enough to find raw materials elsewhere. Plus resource scarcity leads to innovation. When you can't get what you want you go into the lab and find a replacement, sometimes it's cheaper and better. Sort of like EV batteries now. It seems like every week someone's come up with a different battery material that supersedes the last one. I think by the time countries scramble around to mine lithium it will be obsolete by the time the facilities are open.
China, apparently: What's this? An ailing middle-income economy rapidly running out of places where excess value can be extracted from investment? Why, a large influx of investment ought to put stop to that!
I do find watching war in any kind of real-time media sense like we do today is a bit tiresome; I enjoy these few months leading up to it the most !!
Great content. Many thanks.
Tofu-Dreg ECONOMY across the board for China….is probably negative and on the ground anecdotal reports show major cities deserted, constant protests, factories being deliberately destroyed by disgruntled unpaid workers, small businesses collapsing, infrastructure disintegrating- All indicating a catastrophic economic collapse!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for your high quality concise and informative China Update video this Wednesday.
If the CCP/ Chinese military fire one shot at Tiawan, the concequences from the USA will be swift and concise. Not to mention Japan and thier defense of the region. The CCP best watch thier backyard and leave Tiawan and the rest of the world to govern itself. Hong Kong, once freed from the CCP will be years reconstructing the success they have been robbed of. It's an absolute waste. The CCP has turned into a pandemic, lawless, morally bankrupt group who's coffers are so mismanaged there is no way to clean it up. How can any one or government help? Only one answer, replace the CCP with Tiawan style governace. This will take a majority of the Chinese people rising up in demonstration and do so without weapons to defend themselves against this tirrany. This takes enormous courage. God bless the Chinese people.
The Chinese property collapse is inevitable. The loser are their citizens and foreign investors.
So the CCP will stop selling expensive outdated ineffective equipment to countries that don't do what they say. Sounds like a…..Win-win
When will we see the effects of this decline>
I actually hope they recover. An injured animal is when it is most dangerous, it has nothing to lose. If they were strong economically, they would never think of using their military to take Taiwan. They wouldn't want to risk the economic impact such a move would cause. But a floundering China? Might just say screw it. let's go for it.
What the hell are they even building? The ones where it goes up and then 30 days later they tear it down?
Another dumb Gordon Chang again!
This does seem grim. Thanks, Tony, for this report. We've been seeing this progress now for some time, but disastrous effects may have been delayed. Not for much longer, most likely.
Thank you Tony for excellent reports on China News!
Your thumbnail titles make it sound like the end will happen tomorrow, every single day. Credibility will take a hit eventually, if not already
Thank you, Tony
Happy New year!
2026 have arrived and iam still waiting and my neck hurts! Still….fa..all…ing
Are you mentally ill? You keep posting collapse videos over and over… 65% , 80%, 95%, TOTAL COLLAPSE lol
Thanks Tony! Thanks for keeping us abreast of a decline of China’s economy. Like watching a car wreck in slow motion.
People will just find new sources and China will be left with no profitable markets
This is so much number and figure in % dropped like a machine gun that I cannot follow your channel anymore. It is more a financial aspect which through me out of understanding whats happen in the daily life in China. So sad because you are the best. hope I dont hurt your feeling. Yes a day off is needed.
If China is in total free fall — what about Europe? I live in Sweden and I have worked in China. We are 20 years behind technologically and economically.
