Analysts from Western countries have been talking about the imminent collapse of China's economy every year for 30 years, but their forecasts do not come true. This opinion was expressed by John Ross, a British professor of economics at the People's University of China.

'[For the last 30 years] there has been a whole small industry in the West called 'China's economy will collapse,' usually 'next year,' the expert said at a conference on the prospects for the development of the Chinese economy at the Chongyang Institute of Financial Studies at the People's University of China.

According to him, when the 'next year' came, China's economy did not collapse and the forecast was postponed to the next year. And then, when it did not fall apart again, the forecasters again talked about next year. 'Never in these 30 years have I seen so much falsification, lies and ignorance in the Western media as at present,' he added.

Ross said the American press was talking about a 'big crisis in China.' At the same time, he pointed out that in 2023, the Chinese economy grew by 5.2%, the United States by 2.5%, and Europe by only 1%.

The presentation of the report 'China's Compound Interest' was held at the Chongyang Institute of Financial Research at the People's University of China: China's high-quality development and forecast for 2035.' It was prepared by researchers from the Chongyang Institute of Financial Studies at the People's University of China, the All-Russian public organization Free Economic Society of Russia, the Economic and Cultural Council of India and China, the Center for Sino-American Cooperation at the University of Denver, as well as the group of geopolitical and Economic studies at the Canadian University of Manitoba. After the presentation of the report, a conference was held at which experts from Brazil, Great Britain, India, Canada, China and other countries exchanged views on the development prospects of the PRC and other economic issues.
