China economy predictions: 1990-2020
There is a list that's floating around (meaning: copy pasted without sources), and it's also got no exact sources, so it's unclear how legit it is. So I did some searching to confirm, and this blogpost can then be the new reference post. I noted that some of the titles were wrong, sometimes they change titles retrospectively ("we were always at war with..."), but some of them seem to have been the original ones. I also added another prediction I found for 2019.
