#1 Commies always overstate their numbers, performance and metrics.

There are other ways to estimate a metric with a large disparity by looking at correlated metrics like food produced or consumed or single use essentials…. Sort of the same way the IRS catches business’ laundering money or cheating on their taxes.

Just tossing it out there....

Interesting 40 years for CCP
Covid-19, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, Asian Flu, SARS, Avian Flu...
China demo's 100's of unused Apartment complexes ...etc etc etc

Question: If CCP is broke and underpopulated.
How did they come to increase their purchases of US Nation Debt from $105.6 Billion to $749.0++ Billion?

#3 Commies always overstate their numbers, performance and metrics.

We've had Commies stats here for the last four years. I'm not sure we're ready for the rectification of that in order to move forward. Cause our fiscally spendthrift addicted Left is going to fight to the death.

#4 How did they come to increase their purchases of US Nation Debt from $105.6 Billion to $749.0++ Billion?

Because the Chinese play the long game, which includes increasing their control over other nations' or groups' economies.

#5 I'm not confirming or disputing the stated facts and conclusions of this article, but relying on AI in such matters is a bad idea IMHO.

AI just isn't good with facts and prone to heavy hallucinations.

Making some basic assumptions and doing simple back of the envelope calculations would be far more reliable.
