Gordon Chang's "the coming collapse of China" came out in 2001

predicted collapse by 2011

of course this didn't happen and that is partly due to the export success that China has had

China's exports in 2001 about $300B
by 2011, about $2T
by 2025, about $4T
all current $

at the same time, China has been massively building transportation and housing and military equipment

Not sure how much more the world can absorb in the way of Chinese products. We'll see.
