There is a minor industry out there that is dedicated to denigrating all things Chinese.

Compare:

What else would the morale officers say? “We the most blessed on Airstrip #1 are ekshully super-awesome, just, uh… fail to deliver anything new that is not a scam and actually works anymore”?

Of course they would go “but, but, those guys over there have problems, too, and even worse”. Just like their sort did in USSR.

Gordon Chang is a good example, and so is Peter Zeihan. These people spend their time making up lies: Xi had a heart attack; Xi crippled by coup d’état; Chinese banking system collapses; Chinese stock market collapses; Chinese stealth fighter a fake…

I have no doubt there is plenty of pollution in China, or better that there was. But all these horrors stories about Chinese collapse are lies.

In the meantime the US, UK, and EU are in freefall collapse politically, economically, militarily, culturally, and demographically.
