    Ah yes, it’s always everyone else’s fault for not buying enough shit, and not wage stagnation and market saturation with pointless product offerings driven by the soulless demand for ever increasing growth by the wealthy under capitalism.

    Never the system at fault, always the exploited not being obedient enough market consumers.

      That’s right, it’s the best system possible and we should never question it.

        Especially since if you question it you’ll die by the “invisible hand of the market” and be labelled an example on why any system other than capitalism can’t actually work.

            It’s funny to hear something like that from Russia/China supporter.

              China hasn’t been at war since the 70s while US has been at at war for 92% of its deplorable existence. Anybody who supports US over China is utterly morally bankrupt.

    Go figure rampant profiteering would impact demand.

    Huh, people aren’t buying stuff.

    Better raise prices more to compensate! That should help.

    Meanwhile, demand in the massive Chinese market has been weaker than anticipated. Official data for June showed dollar-denominated imports down from the previous month and falling on the year for a fourth consecutive month.

    L’Oreal CEO Nicolas Hieronimus acknowledged in an earnings call in July that consumer confidence in China is “not yet at the pre-COVID level.”

    So the West is decoupling their economies from China, as they should

      If you mean the west is going into a recession and demand is shrinking then sure.

        This week, GDP or gross domestic product – considered the measure of economic growth – showed the U.S. economy grew at a rate of 2.4%, much higher than expected.

        China’s post-pandemic recovery has slowed after a brisk start in the first quarter as demand at home and abroad weakened and a flurry of policies to support the economy failed to shore up activity.

          Recent data point to a swiftly fading rebound in China from the reopening at end-2022, but GDP growth should still remain above the 2023 government target of 5% as consumption normalises and policy support buttresses infrastructure investment, says Fitch Ratings. We expect growth to hold up relatively well, albeit on a slowing trajectory, at 4.8% in 2024 and 4.7% in 2025..

          Meanwhile, US economy has been buttressed by cannibalizing Europe where things are rapidly deteriorating.
