Some people telling me that the housing bubble will collapse and I'll be left destitute and the economy will collapse without a doubt tomorrow according to some biased right wing economist as conclusive evidence.

All of these observations have some truth to them, but mostly they are just negative wishful thinking from people who have made a decision to leave and are now rationalising it. That's fine that people have good reasons for leaving, and that their choice is definitely not a mistake, but spreading negativity around to people who want to stay or can't practically leave sucks. It's a bit like selling your car and leaving a turd on the drivers seat.
ZMC the easy answer for you to reply to the doomsday sayers is " If China collapses it is going to take many other countries with it probably the one your going to"

I think China has a quite a few years left to go before it flatlines. won't be easy in those years though.

ZMC don't take this the wrong way but quite a few of your posts are rather negative about China too on your your bad days.
