Have you ever seen the first half of a football game when one team was dominating the other. Adjustments are made and the other team ended up winning? Times change, economy changes, and demographics change. The Chinese are in a unique situation because the government is in total control. Regardless of the situation they can manage or maneuver because of their complete and total control of their population. They are able to adjust even though it will cause much distress on their citizens. Kind of like “if some or most die” it is needed for the country. They also think long term.

But what if Grok AI just made all that up, because it was programmed by someone supporting China? How would you know? You just bought it hook, line, and sinker, and even bragged that it saved you time to just believe it

Yep. This is precisely why I’m not scared of AI taking over.

Anyone who has used AI for anything other than farting around or creating images of their head on Sonic the Hedgehog knows that it is very flawed.

So I was about to click on and read this story on Zerohedge about the imminent collapse of China but one of the responses ask Grok to show a history summary of the author calling for the collapse of China and it noted they were calling for the collapse since 2001


So for about as long as the greenies have been telling us that all those glaciers will melt?

Because you can ask Grok to show the references and sources and they will. That allows you to double check the answer

Yes. It literally took me 45 seconds to do this. You can't fight this Bro. Grok AI is taking over and smashing all the fake news peddlers


Below are links to key sources that support the information provided about Gordon Chang’s predictions on China’s collapse and related context. These are drawn from the references used in my previous response, ensuring relevance and reliability:
Gordon Chang’s Book and Initial Prediction:
The Coming Collapse of China (2001) by Gordon G. Chang: Details his 2011 collapse prediction.
Amazon link for book overview and reviews: LINK [](LINK

Penguin Random House (publisher) page: LINK [](LINK

Revised Predictions and Criticism:
Foreign Policy article (2011), “The Coming Collapse of China: 2012 Edition” by Gordon G. Chang: Admits the 2011 prediction was wrong and revises to 2012.
Link: LINK [](LINK

Wikipedia on The Coming Collapse of China: Summarizes Chang’s predictions and their outcomes, including Foreign Policy’s “10 worst predictions” listings.
Link: LINK [](LINK

Global Times (2016), “Chang’s predictions of China’s collapse destroy his own credibility”: Critiques Chang’s repeated forecasts, focusing on 2016.
Link: LINK [](LINK

Economic Data and Context:

Link: LINK

International Monetary Fund (IMF) World Economic Outlook (October 2024): Provides recent economic data on China.
Link: LINK

Sentiment on X:
For polarized views on Chang, you can search X directly for “Gordon Chang China collapse” to see posts reflecting both support and criticism. Example posts include:
@Michaelhuang138

@thinking_panda
(Apr 2025) on Chang’s book and reputation: LINK

Note: X posts are not definitive evidence but show public sentiment. Use the X search feature for real-time views.

Additional Commentary:
The Diplomat (2015), “Why Do People Keep Predicting China’s Collapse?”: Discusses Chang’s predictions in the context of broader China doomer narratives.
Link: LINK [](LINK

Matthews Asia (2023), “The Coming Collapse of China?”: Contrasts Chang’s 2001 forecast with China’s economic growth (4.6x per capita income increase by 2022).
Link: LINK [](LINK

These links provide primary and secondary sources for Chang’s predictions, their reception, and China’s economic trajectory. If you need more specific sources or deeper dives into any aspect (e.g., Chang’s later predictions or China’s GDP data), let me know
