GDP per capita is a good measure too that kinda gives you an idea of the likely wealth across a population

China is even worse off than Russia, their overall GDP is high only because they have a population of like 1.3billion

Russia is pretty farked by all means. Big country with a lot of resources and a rather intelligent educated society. Sounds like it has a serious management problem. Russia trying to be a big man on campus is a joke. This whole Ukraine thing, even if they do invade, in the long run, they are going to lose because overall war is economic. It's how they lost the cold war and yet Putin despite being a rather smart leader doesn't seem to get it. That's why we are shipping supplies to Ukraine because we know that even though Russia will be able to drop an initial hit, maybe invade, they will simply fade out in a prolonged conflict because they simply will not be able to keep their cause supplied.

I doubt their growth will continue, reminds me of Japan in the 80's, a bubble waiting to pop although China still has a big domestic market they can develop.

It's because of a spending problem, just like our government. It's also because they are up to their eyeballs in debt.

Like some friends of mine. Nice house, and the kitchen was fine, fully functional, not nasty or anything like that, original to the house built in the mid 90's, but they spent $25K ripping the whole kitchen out and having all new stuff put in because "it was dated". The thing is they had a hard time getting financing for it because their credit card balances are so high. They paid her Honda Pilot off a few months ago and now looking to trade it in even though there is nothing wrong with it. This is just one example.

Here I am driving around a 20yo pickup truck. Trans went out and getting a new one. People say "you could take the price of that trans and use it as a down payment for a new one" yeah sure, and then keep making payments. I had a new truck not long ago and sold it taking advntage of this market, pulled my old one out of retirement. Sure, got to put a trans in it but it's done.

You can see the real reason why America is constantly criticizing China. But times are changing...



Despite being a close ally of the US, Poland will not join the international diplomatic boycott of the upcoming Olympic Winter Games in China, a senior Polish official told Reuters. On the contrary, the countryโ€™s president will attend the games and use the opportunity to hold bilateral talks.

โ€œPoland is a sovereign nation and decides its own politics towards China,โ€ Jakub Kumoch, the foreign affairs adviser to President Andrzej Duda, told the news agency. โ€œPoland is an ally of the United States but Poland also has a very friendly relationship with China.โ€

The report saidPolish officials believed that it was โ€œno longer in Polandโ€™s interests to continue criticizing China simply to please the Americansโ€due to a turn for the worse in US-Polish relations since President Joe Biden took office.

Americans make more money and spend more than Western Europe. The average house in England is 818 sq ft. In the US it's 2200 sq ft. In the US when we go out for a night at the bars we just go. In Europe they pregame like college students at home or in a square to save money on booze before getting 2-3 drinks at a bar, even if they're 30 yrs old. They save, Americans spend.

While this is true, seeing relative numbers like this is fascinating.

the fact Singapore is even on here is mind-blowing.... THE GOAT policy country in the world, and it's not even close.

I mean, if you follow my method - looking at OECD Median Post-Tax Income adjusted for Purchasing Power Parity in USD or Inequality-adjusted human development index Singapore is still up there.

Not similar to Japan. Japan's buble burst mainly because of the real estate speculation problem - at one point, it was speculated that one acre of the Tokyo Imperial Palace was worth more than the entire state of California (to see how the Japanese view these real estate speculators, note that Frieza from DBZ is based off of them). I don't see China having the same speculation problems.

One thing I noticed about Europe is that you can go to a PUB/BAR and the prices are very reasonable while here in the US any Bar charges a lot more for everything and then the bartender and server wants a TIP. LMAO talking about $3/beers like it is some kind of deal. So basically only 2-3X as much as it would be if I went to the grocery store and bought a case?

Most mature responsible people spend very little on "night life". They have to close at 2AM because of joggers.

Beijing won't make the same mistakes Tokyo did by fixating on leverage. Compare this to Japan which gave a ton of credit to idiot speculators. Beijing can directly interfere with real estate via central planning unlike in Japan or even the United States.

I don't see what happened to Japan happening to China.
