I’ll just say this.
There are a truck ton of bad China “hot takes” these days.
The folks in Beijing are fundamentally altering the economy and with that there’s a ton of pain. It’s been, and continues to be, a necessary shift.
And yet, the comments you’ll see are almost entirely from people looking at China through a G7 lens. Garbage in, garbage out of you will.
I’d also add that these very same people are chirping away from the outside. Even the self acclaimed “China experts” haven’t traveled back to China itself in over five years. I can tell you from here in Shanghai, this place has changed massively over that time.
