[contingencies]

Aussie who left in 2001, now in China.

There seem to be two key predictions in here: (1) coming collapse of Australian housing market, and broader economy (2) coming collapse of China.

I am not a great believer in the latter, because based in China for most of my career I still feel China is the only place to go to get things made, which everyone wants to consume despite the requisite economic and political overheads. I selfishly hope the first comes true as maybe then I can actually afford a nice place on the harbour and a boat :)
