In an interview with The Associated Press, Robinson said he doubts that China can sustain its economic prosperity as long as it keeps a repressive political system.

Yet another westoid claiming China is on the brink of collapse.

“There’s many examples in world history of societies like that that do well for 40, 50 years,” Robinson said by phone. “What you see is that’s never sustainable … The Soviet Union did well for 50 or 60 years. Argentina was one of the richest countries in the world at the time of the First World War. What our theory predicts is that’s a transitory situation.”

Now I guess we can acknowledge that the Soviet Union was quite a success until the arrival of the god damned Pizza Hut. 60 years of the USSR would be 1977 and if these burgerbrain economists are willing to say maybe up to 60 years, I believe they know in their hearts it was a bit longer than that.
