China’s economy is at serious risk – and the entire world will feel the blow both economically and even militarily.
And your life savings and investments are no exception because China’s economy is so closely linked to America’s and other Western nations.
You are probably aware of Robert Wiedemer, the New York Times best-selling author of Aftershock.
Wiedemer was one of the first economists to warn of the 2008 crash.
And now he is warning that China’s economy is at grave risk.
He points out that after several years of massive government stimulus as well as heavy support for the real estate sector, China’s bubble is about ready to burst.
“Housing prices in 100 major cities in China fell for the sixth consecutive month... even the China Iron and Steel Association says that growth has slowed from 15% in 2010 to 4% in 2012.”
Adding to China’s economic woes is their fragile stock market.
It has already fallen to 2009 lows, a significant psychological benchmark, and Bloomberg News points out that if this resistance level breaks, stocks could drop another 10 percent.
Shockingly, many insiders warn that China, facing severe domestic problems, may turn toward their military muscle to gain an economic edge.
A realistic fear Japan is already familiar with.
In search of cheap energy, China has become aggressive with Japan regarding a longstanding dispute over some uninhabited islands that sit atop potentially enormous oil and natural gas resources.
Forbes columnist Ben Marks points out, “In the event that the Chinese economy continues to weaken, do not be surprised if China deepens its nationalistic tone, which could lead to even more military hostility with its neighbors over disputed territories in Asia.”
James Rickards, a top security adviser to the Pentagon and CIA, recently released evidence that China is secretly stockpiling gold.
“In 2009, without anybody having an early warning, even the intelligence community, China unveiled gold reserves of 1,054 tons [not 600 tons as reported]... They are treating the acquisition of gold like it’s a military mission... they are expanding and conquering... and their military monitors this entire process. It’s critical they keep this secret.”
