BBC This World - The Great Chinese Crash (2016)
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
Robert Peston explores China's dramatic economic slowdown and its potential impact on Britain. Visiting a ghost city and deserted factories in the north east, Peston reveals how China has built up one of the biggest debt bubbles in world history, and questions whether China's economic woes are worse than Beijing is admitting. In the booming south, Peston hits the shops to explore whether China can spend its way out of the slowdown - in the face of debts still growing by hundreds of billions of pounds a year.

Definitely true. -

-
Can the Chinese just finally apologise to the Japanese please. then things will be better
-
UK is irrelevant to world economy.
Chinese don't care about the UK, they respect the US only.
After the Brexit , UK will want to join to the US as the 51st state.
We don't want arrogant Brits. America belongs to Americans. -
china britain relations is helpful only for rich british people not for the middle classed and poor of britain
-
what a transformation and all they had to do was murder 40 million people, not repay their debts thus robbing anybody who had worked, created and saved, and have the Israelis, Dutch and Swiss transfer the wealth of Europe and North America to China. Yeah what a transformation.

it's time to change the number "6" to "7". You have 2 days left.

TV watching audience, like anywhere else in the world, is ignorant and has its head stuck in the old world order. The new world order threatens them, so a media company like BBC will have to slate its tone of reports with a great deal of skepticism to ease the gap. If you read the Guardian, although another media company, but serving its reading audience, delivers news about China in a more objective manner, less skepticism and fear. The fact that China's economic boom has been the greatest in human history doesn't sit well with many Westerners. It makes them scratch their heads, since they haven't really figured out how China did it. Ignorance and skepticism always breeds when there's lack of information.
-
when did this go out? at the end of 2016, China is still growing at 6.6% or so (so I'm told). Nobody else is.

Ha ha ha, Western smearing and discrimination China, the main work of Western democracy in the world is to discredit it Chinese!
See your western hypocritical performance, we only despise your western world! -
哈哈哈 ,邪恶无知的西方白皮猪又来抹黑中国了!中国正在发展,你们民主的西方貌似也只能意淫一下中国威胁和崩溃论,用来满足一下自己无可奈何的失落心情了!我在此嘲笑一下吧!!

Not only is this Doc totally overblown, Preston's sing song way that he speaks makes for a really good spoof. I bet he wouldn't sit with his friends and watch this, they'd all start mocking him.
-
Communist want to declare economic war with U.S.? Mm... let to it and like Communist Bubble blust.
-
Foreign government think China can make quick easy money? Time to wake up your idea and putting your country tax pay money in high risk? Time to move your money to somewhere rather the China.
-
Now the big question is, who is China borrowing from? Who Own's China's debt?
-
everyone be quiet, please let these chinese believe everything will be ok. Then we can attack when they are at their weakest
-
haha, i love all the glassheart chinese commenters who can't believe that their country is going to shit soon

It's a downright disgrace among any brits to talk about economy. The so called
empire never sun set was built on opium and colonialism, Without it, the entire
empire collapsed. There is no colonies left except Scotland and Wales while Ireland is fighting their independence. In short 50 years, Germany and France have overtaken brits economically and other industrial companies. Worse, brits had to sell their Queeniiie's RR and other treasures to Germans. Yes, sold to Germans.
Given all the indignities, humiliation, inhumane treatment of colonial subjects,
pillaging of their resources and worst, the mother of all drug lords ever know to
mankind. I won't be surprised that Germans, Chinese, Africans, Franch, Greeks et al
are waiting in the wings to even the score. If they don't which I think is highly
unlikely, then China should drop 30 nukes on that island inhibited by white trash. -
Westerners are crying Cassandra in China. The doom and gloom naysayers will find the 'empty city' filled within 5 years on the average.
