Deep dives
China's economy is not on the verge of collapse
Contrary to mainstream media narratives, China's economy is not on the brink of collapse. Despite concerns and rumors of a hard landing, experts argue that China is not experiencing a collapse but rather a recovery, albeit a modest one. The focus should be on the country's consumption story and manufacturing sector, as well as the government's efforts to engineer a controlled deflation of the property bubble. While the economy may not be performing exceptionally well, it is not collapsing as feared.
