Porsche cars are now hard to find,
Orders from Europe and China declined.
A steep fall in sales,
Leaves investors in wails,
But their quality and speed will still shine.

"Sanctions-proof economy"
#China tap danced their way into using a fantasy real-estate domestic market as collateral to finance its own growth. Then the real-estate bust showed the empty, shell-only buildings, ghost towns that will never be inhabited. ~$4.7Tn
Then they sunk another $7Tn into the Belt and Road initiative, half of it is irrecoverable, due to unstable regimes reneging on deals.
Sounds solid AF.
#China saw the trade war coming and spent decades building a sanctions-proof economy while Washington snorted its own hubris. While #US elites gutted domestic manufacturing, Beijing stockpiled reserves, turbocharged indigenous tech, and locked down Global South markets. Now, as Trump flails with tariffs, China's $18T domestic market and state-controlled financial system laugh at decoupling. The U.S. thinks tariffs are economic warfare, China treats them as a stress test.

«In #China, rural hukou come with land rights - and, implicitly, the insurance policy of living off the farm if city jobs are unavailable.»
«Hukou date back to the famines of last century, when Mao Zedong tied food rations to people's birthplaces to prevent starving peasants from flocking to better-fed cities.»
«In 2017, after a fire broke out in migrant workers' living quarters, Beijing authorities launched a campaign to expel people without capital-city hukou»
