People have been predicting China's crash for well over a decade. Predictions like that are made by economic incumbents (USA and allies, i.e. the West) to sow doubt in people's minds about China's upcoming rockstar status. It's the way a veteran boxer looks at a young trainee, shakes his head and goes, "tsk tsk... he's training too hard." And then gets beaten a few years down the line by said trainee, who is now the champion.
