      Failure to maintain perpetual exponential growth in a finite environment is clearly a sign of a failing economy. 🙄

      You know what it would mean for our political and economic order if China succeeds at the hard problems that everyone of us fails right?

        Most Western countries have falling emissions and have at least at times grown their GDP.

      What? Most Western countries had emissions and GDP decoupling years ago. So that part is clearly not. China has grown for decades and having an economic crisis is if anything expected. You get bubbles and those pop, like the housing bubble in China right now.

      The truth is both is happening.
