The country is burning through wealth at an alarming rate.
Their GDP stats are manufactured. Unless you count demoing empty high rises and then rebuilding them to add those stats to the GDP as real.
They are losing their markets for cheap shoddy goods.
Did anyone notice that the decision to include their SDRs has been delayed?
The country is on a collision course to be tapped out at this rate within 24-36 months.
They played the game of being first to become lowest cost producer. When that gameplan fails it means you get to go BK first also.
The gibberish of them having the strongest currency, enormous gold reserves, fantastic trade balances and similar boasting will be just a faded memory within the next 24-36 months.
It's a country and culture that rightfully so, people are leery to do business with and this will only help to accelerate their death spiral.

China was prepping for a growing middle class from US sales. They got blind sided by bad US economic policy decisions that tanked the US economy and US consumer spending. Velocity of money is your proof.

<< <i>This thread seems to have a fairly negative tilt on China with talk of crash and the like. So how does that fit in with the notion of China taking over the global financial reins in the near future? >>
China's rapid ascent to the largest (or second largest, depending on your source) economy in the world has come to a screeching halt primarily because of the also rapid slowdown in consumption of Chinese manufactured goods. I expect China to continue it's efforts to become a major influence in world wide economic affairs as demonstrated by it's push to have the yuan included in the IMF SDR basket and it's move to stockpile gold reserves. Their desire to be a major player is definitely being hampered by weakened demand for their exports which in turn has weakened their demand for imports. China will never be able to take over the global financial reigns without a financial implosion occurring with the current handler of those reigns.

While that's true, at least they built something. The infrastructure is there for them to be used eventually...hopefully before they fall apart. The US is still spending hog wild too but most of it seems to go to wasteful programs or ones that are inefficiently run (SS, medicare, medicaid, military, HSD-TSA, pensions, debt service, ACA, education, research, etc.). We'd be better off with something tangible, even if not presently used, rather than nothing at all. The US already built suburbs and malls that have far fewer or no people in them today.

Attributable to Mr hopsin. Our resident pro chinese with no facts troll. I especially like the use of the word 'delusional'. A word you'd almost expect from a govt source advising chinese not to short stocks or they will get arrested.
Tell us Mr hopsin, what province were you born in.
China is trying to promote an internal consumer economy. Ain't working. They are devaluing the yen. Ain't working. They are burning through trade surplus reserves to prop up their stock market by liquidating paper assets. To the detrimate of the US. HeHeHeHe. Bad career move sir. They are expanding their presence in the South China Sea by fortifying shoals and small islands. Islands that U.S. Allies also share a claim of sovereignty. HeHeHeHe. Bad career move sir. China has hacked into numerous sensitive U.S. databases. Really bad career move sir. China has private citizens who have entered the U.S. under false pretense with the intention of harassing Chinese Nationals.
U.S. ammo and supply depot blow up in Japan. Hmmmm. 811 Wilshire data server center blows up in L.A. Hmmmm..
4 major explosions have rocked China. Tianjin has a crater that mirrors a tactical nuk. Hmmm.
I'd say there is a pretty good chance the U.S. alphabet soup agencies have just about decided it's game on.
Any damage to the US economy by Chinese decisions are a direct result of failed Federal Reserve and US economic policy.
China is Wall St. and Washington's scapegoat for their own failures.
If in fact Chinese decision's can and do have a negative impact on the US economy, who's fault is that?
The stock market is declining because efforts to increase debt to increase demand and investment has finally reached its limit.
The top economic story for 2015 has not yet occurred. It will be a Wall St. crash that will be blamed on China, and not correctly blamed on failed US monetary policy. The can is approaching a cul-de-sac.

For as smart as China thinks they are, it's astonishing that they try to use price controls and blatant intervention. All that does is stoke fear and mistrust. China's actions are becoming quite harmful to China.
China has a lot of potential but they are taking a number of steps backward.
How ridiculous do they look for arresting a journalist saying he caused the market drop by stating basic facts. Yeah, I'm sure that will help. Doubtful the yuan will be truly competing with the dollar anytime soon, regardless of what the 0 hedgies say.

There's also supposedly shrinking gold demand in China according to some. Yet the Shanghai gold exchange, the source for all official and tracked Chinese gold imports is so far well ahead of the overall demand of the past 5 years. There was a 1 yr only dip in 2014. But now 2015 has exceeded the demand in 2010-2014. The US mint has pumped out 2X as many ASE's and 3X as many AGE's in June-August 2015 vs. the same period in 2014. Sure is some demand coming from somewhere. And this record US mint production is occurring at the same time they weren't getting enough planchets to keep the production line running. If 2015 continues on this same pace it will be another record year for ASE production, exceeding the last one set in 2014. The large differentials in the price of 90%, ASE's, and other silver products continues to far exceed spot pricing. Yup....no demand here.

The 2015 Vs. 2014 ASE sales during the June to Aug period (15.3M vs. 6.7M) are all the more impressive when you consider there was no rationing/allocation of ASE's going on in 2014 during those months. For each of the last 5-6 weeks the mint has sold out of their weekly allocation by Tuesday or Wednesday.
