That would be The Independent. MSN only aggregated the article and your NY Post article.

Daily Caller? Lol

I know that’s all you got Mr Gristle, but plant closings, layoffs and protests are real in China.

Google it and pick your own sources.

They reported the truth. You should be laughing at the thread topic.

China is feeling the pain. I know some of you are pulling for the CCP and they need your well wishes.

China slips deeper into deflation: April CPI -0.1% YoY, 3rd straight monthly drop. Core CPI barely positive at +0.5%.

Small businesses struggling. PDD (Temu) profits plunged 38% as margins shrink; a prolonged real estate crisis and weakened consumer spending.

New U.S. tariffs, compounding weak domestic demand and overcapacity in sectors like EVs.

The reading comprehension of the posters in this thread are abysmal. The article is about the world's view of China and the USA. it's not about the countries' economics. But as usual they only read what they want to see, not what is actually written

“Is abysmal”. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. China’s economy IS abysmal. The world knows it.

Key differences: Xi is totally prepared to let his people suffer, if need be. Xi also doesn't need to worry about midterms (or any other elections, for that matter). Advantage: Xi. Bigly.

Idk, Trump is also prepared to let his people suffer.

That’s twaddle and you know it. What you do know is China’s economy is in the toilet. Ours isn’t.

[HDGristle]

We've got dozens of examples of Trump not giving a flying fuck abiut Americans. Meanwhile China is looking like a reasonable adult when dealing with Trump. He's giving then a run for their money in terms of being corrupt asf and that resulting lack of moral high ground is stunning.

This is what happens when you normalize strongman and toss economic grenades at all your allies. The world is watching

Post the dozens of examples. It’s just TDS bullshit. As Lusty sated in another thread, you’re allergic to facts. Fact, Chinas economy sucks, ours is doing fine.

True, but not all of them. Only his perceived enemies (i.e. 60% of the country). He also has to worry about a political fallout that Xi doesn't.
