China economy on the skids for years

Chinese govt lying for years, saying all's good, posting fake figures

Reckoning time arrives, but who to blame?

Look! Over there! Deadly virus!

Disappear some annoying dissidents

Chinese economy enters controlled dive

Manufacturing PMI 35.7 in Feb. vs previous 50 (expected 46)

Nonmanufacturing PMI 29.6 in Feb. vs previous 54.1

Thanks, COVID-19!
