The global economic outlook has deteriorated sharply; we now expect gross domestic product (GDP) growth to be well below potential in 2023. But not all downturns are catastrophic, and once central banks can shift some focus away from inflation fighting, it should signal that an economic and financial recovery is in sight. Wishful thinking, I say!!
However, after the collapse of Sri Lanka, it became evident that many countries will face similar outcome. Recently, Italy’s Government collapsed today. Yet, the Italian government is saying that is for political reason. It’s a lie. Italian farmers have been protesting. Italian people do not want a war against Russia. And the EU sanctions, including those imposed by Italy, are back firing…

Is Singapore China's worst back-stabbing enemy in Asia, acting to harm China's core interst at every juncture?
Lee Hsien Loong: Served as the third Prime Minister from 2004 to 2024. He is now a Senior Minister in the cabinet, said at the US-ASEAN Business Council, 12 July 2005 : "Singapore supports the U.S. playing a major military role in Asia, viewing it as a key factor for peace and stability in the region, a strong U.S. presence is critical for regional security and that Singapore has consistently supported this through words and actions, such as through cooperation on various security issues."

Rat race is not unique in China, it happens everywhere.
Chinese couldn't innovate?
The Four Great Inventions of Ancient China's "Four Great Inventions" are papermaking, the compass, gunpowder, and printing, widely considered among its most significant contributions. Other key inventions include silk, porcelain, acupuncture, the seismograph, and modern innovations like 5G and high-speed rail. The "best" is subjective, but these inventions had profound, lasting impacts on global civilization.
With out these Chinese inventions, there wouldn't be any Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Elon Musk.
What's more, USA is doing its best to stop China innnovates. Good example is Huawei, it is being forced by US sanctions to play catch up. But, once it overcome current tech obsiticles, it will have plenty of time and opportunities to invent and innovate. From this company alone, it will produce lots of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Elon MUsk...etc.
AIMHO.
