  • Unlimited for seven or so years now, never regretted it in the slightest. I feel like they throw some bonus to you whenever they can - under promise, over deliver.

  • Low probability of that. Evergrande is so big, it can’t be compared to any western reference. For example, they built entire cities for millions of people that are completely deserted and are such bad quality most of it crumbles at a touch. Nobody will save that.

The Chinese government will try to avoid the fallout but very certainly not the way we western people are used to.





  • I get the impression few people understand was capitalism even is. Capitalism isn’t “free markets”, even if it claims to be. It’s the reign of the wealthy at the cost of the poor. Markets and market mechanisms are fine and very useful if guided by proper rules but those have been eroded for centuries now to create a new kind of feudalism, only with rich people instead of nobles at the top. That’s what capitalism is.
