Educated Opinion

there is a "small" financial crisis going on in a small town in China right now,

it is not reported in the main stream media,

this "small" problem can have the potential of the straw that breaks the camel's back.

we'll see... stay tuned.

Even if the eurozone is able to get through this phase of their fiscal crisis, it may be "out of the frying pan and into the fire" for the world economy. There are problems with a growing asset bubble in China. The increased money supply that comes with money being moved into a hot economy has fueled a lot of poor quality investments and speculation (the money had to go somewhere).

 

Attached is an interesting article about lending practices that have cropped up due to the recent credit tightening imposed by the government. I can't claim to understand the full impact of what it all means, but it doesn't sound good.

I read something like this a few of days ago.

 

Cloud over city as elite flee debt - The Standard

 

And this is just one town out of the thousands there.

 

 

From that article, and what little exposure I've had to things that go on in China, I get the impression that there is a subculture of a "Gold Rush", "Lawless", "Wild West" mentality of many people in China trying to get rich through manufacturing cheap goods, and all sorts of business ventures. The article speaks of people who borrowed large at huge interest rates, and then of people committing suicide and leaving town quickly. The implication is, that the normal failure rates that apply to any new venture are starting to "kick in", and business ventures are collapsing in China.

 

Interestingly, it probably never crossed my mind that business failures would affect China. With all the hype about China's GDP, and growth and success, I just blindly thought of China as an incredible success story without giving it a second thought.

Lack of freedom of expression, censorship coupled with being a proud nation, I try to be optimistic and believe the success but ... well who really really knows what goes on in the background.

 

not really an educated opinion but I think its healthy to look at a different angle

Lets not forget that China is a huge country. This is demographics in motion on steriods.

 

One small thing here can snowball quickly.

 

China's existing and developing middle class will be the consumer that will bring the world out of recession. We should be working with this country, not against them.

There is plenty of freedom of expression here mate, yeah some censorship and that's a pain sometimes...but how else do you suggest to keep 1,300,000,000+ people in line?

    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.
