The overproduction of housing and other real estate in China has been a clear bubble that must eventually burst for at least 15 years. I’ve been stunned consistently they’ve managed to stave off the inevitable for this long. There are entire sections of cities that are entirely devoid of residents, entire sky scrapers empty - entire blocks upon blocks of empty sky scrapers. It could be waved away as long as growth was astronomical. But with weaker global demand, domestic demand waning, and almost every company figuring out their China production exit in some way or another, it’s bound to pop some day soon.

My worry is chinas instability economically leads to political instability leads to wars to distract and focus away from the man behind the curtain.
