If you want real "smoke and mirrors", you need to take a closer look at China's and Russia's economies.
China:
* 2022 leak of Shanghai police database proved China's population is nearly 30% smaller than claimed
* local governments get most of their revenue by leasing land to developers to build ghost cities
* massive construction projects all over the country that fall apart before even being used
Russia:
* most economic statistics have been "classified" due the ongoing "special military operation"
* businesses are shutting down faster than they are opening
* banks are reported to be denying over 80% of loan applications now
Both countries are in deep shit. Also, because China is in deep shit, the entire global economy is in deep shit.
Expect a global depression and another "world war" era, possibly going nuclear.
Anyway, have fun, zoomies.
