    The only economy on the brink is the US. China was one of only 3 that grew GDP and outpaced inflation the last several years, where wages outpaced inflation.

        I admonished someone else for using tankie too loosely earlier, so I feel I should do so again.

        Calling them an apologist is maybe more appropriate in this context. They are not actually making a tankie argument (one involving force), just spouting low level propaganda (I do not know or care how accurate).

        That’s per a UN report, but I’m sure since your state approved propaganda machines like MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, etc. Did not repeat it. It must not be true since it shines a bad light on the US and is contradictory to the propaganda the state feeds us that we are doing so well
