@Bluebearmonkey Itโs extremely low growth in consumption for where China is on its growth curve and overall rate of consumption. Comparing to advanced economies is disingenuous.
@joequant I was in Shenzhen in March, there are a ton of shuttered store fronts, in the higher end neighborhoods. Itโs not a catastrophe, but itโs pretty bad.
@Bluebearmonkey Thereโs no reliable data in China on stuff like this. The stuff my Chinese friends wanted wasnโt even hgh. It seemed like snake oil to me, but the price was way cheaper in the west than in China.
@Bluebearmonkey Itโs not standardized practice in the west. I mean, Chinese average heights have gotten a massive boost in a generation. Chinese girls are now on average taller than western girls.
That is not just from nutrition.
@aruvinchan I mean thereโs an equal amount of single men and women, roughly. The loneliness epidemic, to the extent to even exists, will be roughly equal across the sexes.
