Betteridge’s Law of Headlines - I find it has near universal applicability.
Doubly so for any headline predicting a financial crisis of any sort.

Thanks for digging up the important line. So annoying to have sensationalist headlines like this that bury the lede and completely disprove their own thesis several paragraphs down, but I mean as long as it gets that initial click…

Xi is shitting his pants right now
China bet hard on developing countries because the developed world isn't growing at a rate that can keep up with China's economic growth targets. In fact, we're very quickly running towards the crossover point for Chinese trade dependence on the West vs. on the rest of the world.
Also, a big chunk of Chinese exports to the West is in computers and consumer electronics... Markets which have seen a huge slowdown due to commoditization and aggressive political lobbying from the US.
You hit the target exactly on the spot, I hope you're already diversified in crypto in preparation

No, but the country is going to go through a lot of economic pain.
China's economic crisis has the world in a panic? Well, at least they're diversifying their export portfolio by shipping out anxiety and uncertainty in bulk!
it's the year of the ~~linux desktop~~ chinese collapse
No, but it's going to take a pretty good ding to eat that Evergrande turd.
Capitalism is China's economy. They'll collapse together when they do
Convert your fiat to crypto and prepare to transfer wealth across borders with Monero
When China falls they'll take us all down with them together
