It's almost time for a revolution there, unless the govt starts selling off their USD reserves.

It would be a nice silver lining to this economic crisis if it resulted in the end of the CCP.

Impressive economic growth has helped them maintain stability. People are less likely to question their government when times are good. It looks like the party if definitely over for the CCP.

Btw, I thought you would be a supporter of the CCP? You aren't a very good commie.

I know, I was just teasing. I get that it is all part of the "they aren't real commies" defence mechanism.

They only call themselves commies. Also, they are set up for the perfect Marxist economic crash. Maybe that was their plan all along behind closed doors - get the West addicted to their cheap goods to the point of absurd trade deficits and dangerous imbalance of foreign reserves, and then deliberately tank the global economy to the point that it all goes commie simultaneously. Deng Xiaoping was no traitor after all!

I was going to say that it would actually be better if it involved Lenin who was actually not dead.

Leaving aside the value judgments, I find it interesting that workers would continue on the job without getting paid. It happens all the time. Hello...

[ThisIsOK]

I've seen that reported really often.

It happens in Quebec. You regularly hear: "X company, that went under the protection of bankruptcy laws, has not paid its employees for Y weeks".

[extessarere]

No way. Hmmm... I have never heard a similar report in the States. Maybe I just haven't paid attention or they just don't report that piece of information in our newspapers.

Edit: This relates to your first post, not the second post.
