According to the China haters and according
to Western media, China is collapsing.
Things are not going to plan with China's economy.
It comes as China's economy faces a crisis.
I'm sought of in the camp that China might be collapsing, actually.
China right now is in bad shape economically.
It details the possibility of a China economy collapsing
China's once-mighty economy appears to be hitting a rough patch.
Now, I live here in China,
and I've lived here for the past 12 years,
and I haven't seen any 'collapsing'
in fact, I've seen the opposite of collapsing.
I've seen insane growth.
I'm actually here on the streets of China.
I'm walking down the streets of China.
Unlike Western media, back in the UK, the US,
Australia, they're sat in their little studio
conjuring up stories about China crumbling
like the novelists they are
fulfilling their fantasies of China's collapse
when it simply is not true.
Come to China and see it with your own eyes.
Over the next five years, China will contribute
22.6 % to world economic growth.
Double that of the US at 11.3%.
India will contribute 12.9 %, more than the US!
And that is from the IMF.
China is the world's largest exporter, and not just recently.
Since 2014, almost 10 years.
And just this year, China has surpassed Japan
in becoming the world's largest car exporter.
Chinese companies are thriving.
Huawei, BYD, Xiaomi, Anta, Li Ning, TikTok.
Look at the success of TikTok in the US, invented by Chinese.
And obviously, Douyin inside China as well. You know, massively successful.
And... huh I would know because I have two million fans there.
There are now more Chinese companies than American
companies on the Global Fortune 500 list.
What does that tell you? The facts speak for themselves.
China housed the highest number of billionaires worldwide in 2023.
China had 969 billionaires residing
within China, and the US had 691.
And also China's billionaire population is growing
at a rate three times faster than that of the US.
China has world-class infrastructure.
I'm always going on in the videos
about their amazing infrastructure.
They have the world's largest urban transit system,
the world's largest highway network,
the world's longest high speed rail network.
Need I go on? Need I say more?
China, collapsing.
I mean, what are you even talking about?
Just take a look at this. This was Shanghai a few weeks ago.
Look at all these people traveling, shopping,
spending money, and that's at the physical stores.
Don't even get me started on the online shopping.
People are going crazy shopping online, especially
with all the Baiyibutie offers on Pinduoduo.
And then the haters keep going on about China's property market.
Well, behind me here, we have a few housing developments by a massive
real estate company called Fukang.
Not a sponsor, by the way,but now they owe me one big time.
Actually, I bought my house with Fukang.
And now, so obviously you can see here,
work hasn't come to a grinding halt.
Work hasn't stopped. It continues as normal. It's just another day.
Just like many, many other real estate companies
throughout China, it's just another day as normal.
Work continues. Growth continues.
There's still building, buying, selling. It's just another day.
Everything continues as normal.
Now let me go and show you my lovely house that I was talking about.
Welcome to my two-floor pent-house apartment.
Yes, we are on the top floor.
We've still not put in the stairs yet.
Nothing has been done.
We're dealing with the designer.
Let me show you the design of the front room now.
Looks pretty good, right?
I know, I know, I'm living the Chinese dream.
Forget about the American dream.
Just look at this view we've got on our balcony.
Oh, my Lord. Look at that view.
That is just beautiful.
And just so over in that direction is the airport.
So it's really great for traveling really close to the airport.
A good base here.
Loads of rooms.
The stairs go here.
I don't know how many bedrooms. Who knows?
Anyway, let me show you the second floor.
I have to climb this ladder because we've not got any stairs in yet.
Hold on a second.
I have to climb this rickety ladder.
I made it up to the second floor.
I'm going to have a nice office here
and then it leads to an outside area.
Obviously, we're going to get rid of this.
We're gonna have a nice big relaxing outdoor area,
maybe a Jacuzzi over there.
I'm living the Chinese dream.
Look at the view. We've got a view again over here.
It looks like I'm floating in the sky from this angle
hold on, let me just put my glasses on because
China's future is just way too bright.
Anyway, so don't be mentioning the word 'collapse'
and 'China' in the same sentence.
What are you talking about?
I mean, the last time that there was any
economic collapse was the 2008 financial crisis.
And who caused that?
Yes, our American friends, always causing trouble.
Anyway, I hope that you enjoyed that video.
I hope you're enjoying this beautiful
view here looking across the lovely province
of Guizhou, and the mountains, taking in that fresh air.
Anyway, that is the end of this video
and I will see you in the next one.
Signing off. Signing off.
