| 0:26.3 | Sundays with Charles Ortell Podcast, about the trouble that the Chinese economy is in right now based on its property collapse, the bubble |
| 0:36.2 | of credit, and the ambition of China to find a solution watching the Chinese Communist Party choose this or that lever to pull in order |
| 0:48.5 | to make the economy mended and then rise again. The prospect of such a thing happening, however, is limited. |
| 0:56.0 | And right now we hear from China that they're trying manufacturing |

| 1:47.1 | held back by the governance structure. That would work, particularly if people who had, like families who had fled China, returned back there under a new regime. |
| 1:56.8 | Short of that, I think we're kidding ourselves and very slowly and then suddenly China, what happened to the Soviet Union will happen to the |
| 2:05.8 | Communist Party. More of this later. |
