Can anyone explain the new talking point about some miscounted population in China causing economic devastation? First I heard a random acquaintance mention it at some lunch (which was immediately dismissed by our Chinese friend present at the table). Then I just saw the linked YouTube video in my recommended. I couldn't even stomach whatever brainworms they must be hocking to watch it.

Just hoping someone can explain whatever the hell they're on about.

~~china~~ a place is collapsing because there's not enough people buying houses to ensure enough demand to keep a high floor price on iron ore exports garf-troll

Typical Yankee cope

Everything is going to tank China's economy

Except nothing ever does

But they keep saying it as if that's going to make it true
