After the Revolutions of 1989 and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, most of the world's communist governments were overthrown, and the Cold War ended. Nevertheless, anti-communism remains an important intellectual element of many contemporary political movements. Organized anti-communist movements remain in opposition to the People's Republic of China and other communist nations.
Ok, so if China and other communist states were overthrown / are no longer communist, what are you rooting for? And why bring it up when rgio was actually talking about the property debt crisis and aging demographic of China?
The epithet "communist" is so far removed from what Marx had in mind it has become absolutely meaningless. One-party rule, autocratic government, dictatorships or even just plain old imperialists are all terms that are way closer to political reality than "communist".

The point was that when it comes to China, implosions or collapses have been predicted (or supposed) regularly. Whether on the basis of ideology and/or economics (facts).
Almost, as I alluded to, as if there is a desire in play. At least you don't share this desire, however anti-communists, an actual common conspiracy (or rather ideology), do.

You are mistaking facts for desire. When post shit, do you read anything? I post about real estate, and your rebuttal is a 23-year-old book blaming the CCP.
China's failure would not be good for anyone, and your assumption I'm hoping for it is just conspiratorial, tribal BS.

Or so some people keep claiming again and again (they're commies after all and must fail). Maybe this is your lucky year.

Too late. Apparently everyone's owned by China (or Russia) already.
Russia 2022 GDP $2.24 Trillion
California 2022 GDP $ 2.875 Trillion
Russia may have oil and nukes, but they don't own much beyond their borders.
As for China... They are imploding a bit right now, and the promise of a middle class is rotting in the 1 billion+ apartments that are unfinished and worthless, taking with it the life savings of millions and millions of Chinese nationals.
But keep pedaling the demise of the US... many seem to like reading about it.
That's pretty cool, but I'm not sure the world is ready for having beta sources floating around everywhere. Nickel-63 is a good choice, though. Wonder how they are separating out the nickel-63. I know how I'd look at doing it but I ain't telling.
When the Department of Justice announced its China Initiative in 2018, it said protecting national security was a goal.
But a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests the initiativeâs investigations may have caused valuable researchers of Chinese descent to leave the U.S. for China.
The paper, âCaught in the crossfire: Fears of Chinese-American scientists,â doesnât confirm causation between the initiative and the departures. Its data, from 2010 to 2021, shows that the annual number of Chinese-descent scientists leaving the U.S. was steadily increasing before 2018.
But the trend greatly accelerated that year, the study found.
âThe migration has increased during those 12 years, from 900 scientists in 2010 to 2,621 in 2021, with an accelerated departure rate (75 percent higher) in the last three years ⦠coinciding with the launch of the China Initiative in 2018,â the authors wrote.
The Justice Department, which didnât comment for this story, ended the initiative in early 2022. The authors wrote that there are questions over how much âthe formal dropping of the âChina Initiativeâ name has been accompanied by substantive changes in the governmentâs practices that address the chilling effects.â (...)
