Western media and economists often misread China’s economy as a normal market facing temporary adjustments, offering standard fixes like boosting consumption or imports. They overlook the CCP’s core principle: everything must remain under absolute control, pursuing a super-market status that distorts prices and evades external constraints.

This obsession with control—through state advances, private retreats, and over-securitization—has rigidified the economy, killed private sector vitality, and created overcapacity, balance-sheet recession, and unfair distribution. Consumption and imports are illusions under political dominance; the CCP views efficiency as secondary to security.

Trade surpluses fund geopolitical influence, not public welfare. Resource misallocation favors inefficient state firms. China’s economy isn’t just struggling—it’s locked in a self-destructive cycle where political control trumps market logic, leading to long-term stagnation and inevitable conflict with the global market.
