> I don't understand why people expect the Chinese economy to crash - they can basically make everything, a lot of which is internationally competitive, they can trade for the resources they don't have with the goods that they do - with basically the whole world dependent on them.

One absolutely would have been able to say the same thing about Japan in the 1990s when they were top of the world.

So I dunno! Anything's possible!
