The economy staring into the abyss of economic depression is China. China could easily implode the Hong Kong real estate market, at any time, by removing the Dollar-peg and replacing the Hong Kong Dollar with Reminbi. A lot of Chinese citizens have paid hefty costs to smuggle their wealth out to the Hong Kong US Dollar haven. No need to wait until 2026. China could create this implosion today with a single edict. Converting the Hong Kong Dollar to Yuan would make the safe haven into the place China's wealthy have already paid once to leave — They'd dump Hong Kong real estate in a panic to again get to a safe haven. At an average price of $1.28 million, you've been priced out of the starter-Studio-Condo market in Hong Kong. But a large discount will one day be yours, if you're willing to exchange your Dollars for Renminbi.

Quantitative easing causes assets to inflate. If capital flies to emerging markets, it inflates commodities. It did so, and that ended post-2008 financial crisis after which capital flew to advanced economies. It inflates the stock market and real estate. Today we read a lot about an announced financial crisis (not TJ's) but one with ETA 2020. These are politically motivated because people writing and analysing that, have in mind a financial crisis barring DJT reelection. Of course, you have all those Noriel Roubinis constantly announcing a crisis because if they get it right it means more credibility and, consequently, more money for them. TJs 2026? Is a chimera. He has never ever explained the underlying causes that would lead to a collapse in 2026 besides thinly veiled assertions that China will come up on top of the west's rubble as new sovereign. He has never articulated what the Dark Interregnum is all about. His ideas are perhaps based on some obscure Chinese scholar that he is not willing to explain.
