If the political system in China collapses everyone should worry. That would likely result in a global economic crash the likes of which the world has never seen.
Good. The come up will be a lot sweeter.

People that have survived communism just accept high levels of corruption because it's better than the alternative. That's why Putin is popular.
A lot of people (mostly westeners) don't understand, that if someone gets back "historic russian territory" from a "neighbor" you don't really like, and noone can do anything about that, that's a good thing for Russia. It's bad for the neighbors, it's bad for NATO, it's bad for everyone else who wants to influece Russia, but for Russia, it's a good thing.
It's the same thing with Trump... he does this, he does that, outrage everywhere, and in the end, EU is even more fuc*ed, Chinese send threats but can't do anything, and USA gets richer, old industries come back, people get jobs, get paid more, etc. And some wonder why he won.

I grew up in poverty and I'd rather go back to poverty than live under a dystopian surveillance dictatorship.

But for the poorest and most vulnerable in our society they will experience hardships not seen since the Great Recession. And the inequality gap will rapidly widen which affects everyone.

Sure. If you're middle/upper class living in a wealthy country. But for the poorest and most vulnerable in our society they will experience hardships not seen since the Great Recession. And the inequality gap will rapidly widen which affects everyone.

If the alternative is China going unchecked and eating the world. I'll take the economic crash. I grew up in poverty and I'd rather go back to poverty than live under a dystopian surveillance dictatorship.
