The constantly (and prematurely) announced death of the Chinese economy

the establishment media is an enabler of endless wars and illegitimate oligarchic power

Frans Vandenbosch

Most of the time, when China is not busy collapsing, she's a dreaded monster threatening the West. (Cover February 6th 2010)

They “predicted” the rapid collapse of the economy in China all the time, on average twice per year.

Historical economic predictions about China:  23

Three decades of lies about the Chinese economy. A modest sampler.

1990. The Economist: ‘China’s economy has come to a halt.’
1996. The Economist: ‘China’s economy will face a hard landing.
The Economist: ‘China’s economy entering a dangerous period of sluggish growth.’
Bank of Canada: ‘Likelihood of a hard landing for the Chinese economy.’
Chicago Tribune: ‘China currency move nails hard landing risk coffin.’
Wilbanks, Smith& Thomas: ‘A hard landing in China.’
West Chester University: ‘China Anxiously Seeks a Soft
Economic Landing.’
The New York Times: ‘Banking crisis imperils China.’  2004. The Economist: ‘The great fall of China?’
Nouriel Roubini: ‘The Risk of a Hard Landing in China.’
The International Economy: ‘Can China Achieve a Soft
Landing?’
TIME: ‘Is China’s Economy Overheating? Can China avoid a hard landing?’
Forbes: ‘Hard Landing in China?’
Fortune: ‘China’s hard landing. China must find a way to recover.’
Nouriel Roubini: ‘Hard landing coming in China.’
Business Insider: ‘A Chinese Hard Landing May Be Closer
Than You Think.’
The American Interest: ‘Dismal Economic News from China:
A Hard Landing.’
Zero Hedge: ‘A Hard Landing in China.’
CNBC: ‘A hard landing in China.’
Forbes: ‘You Got Yourself a Chinese Hard Landing.’
The Economist: ‘Hard landing looms for China.’
The National Interest: ‘Is China’s Economy Going to Crash?’
2018. McKinsey: ‘China faces a choice: Modernise or risk a very hard landing’
2019. Forbes: ‘The China Hard Landing Is Back on The Table’

The pattern is quite clear, isn’t it? The ‘Hard Landing’ they were hoping for, never came.
