    The difference is that when Japan stagnate it was a high income economy.
    China is in the middle income trap.
    The average chinese salary is rising very much and the lower income countries have higher GDP growth.

      @@seymorefact4333 The current deflation in China, in my view, is more closely tied to confidence. When people are optimistic about the economic outlook, they are willing to spend; conversely, a lack of confidence leads to reduced consumption.
      The government needs to adopt more comprehensive measures to boost confidence and alleviate the anxiety caused by the decline in the property market.

    Chinese proverb : 'He who tied the knot is the one who knows how to untie it". The developed countries brought up this monster in the 1990s and 2000s, now the monster had grown wings and is biting the hands that fed it. We are witnessing mass withdrawal of investment and closure of factories in China due to those countries awakening to the fact that their own businesses are on the verge of collapse thanks to China's aggressive trade invasion, all I have to say is KARMA

      Wow, what an toxic conclusion you’ve drawn. China, the only superpower that has never invaded other countries for fortune or territory, has a natural right to develop in its own way. How does this development suddenly equate to “growing wings and biting the hand that fed it”?
      Your words and actions bring to mind an old Chinese proverb: Officials are allowed to set fires, but commoners aren’t even allowed to light lamps. Perhaps it’s KARMA that now you must face a stronger, enduring Chinese Loong.
      China is no longer weak. Open your eyes wide and look at the world objectively.

      @Beresunablle unlikely for Japan to overtake USA at that point of time. I lived thru that era. There were clear signs of overheating economy in Japan especially in the properties market. As long as your country's military defence is beholden to another country, you will do as your defence master dictates. Japan's export driven economy was dumping goods into USA. The undisputed leader will never allow his challenger a free ride into power. China might have the hindsight advantage of Japan's fall as a lesson but know is one thing, solving it is another matter. As long as greenbacks is the global currency and USA's military might are unchallenged, no country can take its place.

    The economy is for sure not doing so good, but one needs to consider China's situation as world's factory and its vast (over)capacity to produce goods. Prices are stagnating in China, and a good reason for that is China produces literally everything self and that businesses had good margin before, now they just need to make do with lower margins. This would not be possible in another country. Japan was like China with very little inflation, now inflation starts to creep up there precisely because Japan no longer produces everything itself and starts to run trade deficit.

    “这个‘学习强国’软件每天就要占用我大部分生活时间,渐渐地,我发现周围朋友都开始疏远我了,我才逐渐意识到,这其实都是被共产党害的!”

      This is often true in developing economies, where inflation is constant...or at least, local currency depreciation is constant. So if you have dollars, best to buy now, because the price in dollars will always be less later....but with rising inflation, it'll be even more expensive. I suppose this is why carry trades work. Insiders know ahead of time and can plan accordingly.
