    This is just pathetic fearmongering, or whatever “the enemy is getting weaker” propaganda is called. Deflation, as liberals understand it, is literally a fake phenomenon. Even if PRC disn’t have controlled markets, price reductions causing the collapse of entire businesses on a large scale is a fiction. It doesn’t happen in free markets for obvious reasons, and it wouldn’t happen in controlled markets for even more obvious reasons.
