WARNING: China's Economy Is About to Collapse

Something big is underway. And I don't say that lightly.
We're at an historical turning point...
And it's at precisely these points when real life-changing money can be made.

WARNING: China's Economy Is About to Collapse
Today, I want to talk to you about China.
You may think of this nation as an economic powerhouse, leaping from success to success. But in reality, it's a big bubbly economy...
And that bubble is ready to burst. Let me explain...
Like a Three-Legged Stool
Three main areas drive China's economy:
- Manufacturing and exports.
- Banking, or what I refer to as "easy money."
- And real estate.
You can think of each of these areas creating a three-legged stool, propping up China's economy. The thing is, each of these legs is cracking...
Meaning China's economy is on the brink of collapse. Let's take a closer look at each of these legs...
Manufacturing Plays a Big Role
First, there's manufacturing.
Manufacturing accounts for nearly 30% of China's gross domestic product ("GDP"). For reference, the rest of the world's manufacturing percentage averages at about 13%.
And once it makes all this stuff, it needs to export it. That makes up another 17% of its GDP.
That's nearly half of this country's economy tied up in making and selling things. And here's the problem:
Last month, China exports dropped 14% year-over-year, the third straight month of decline. And look at this:
As you can see, Hong Kong export levels over the past two years have been plummeting. The number of containers being exported today is half of what it was 10 years ago. This is really bad news.
Easy Money
The second leg involves China's banking sector, a piece of this puzzle I'll sometimes refer to as "easy money."
You see, to aid in its manufacturing efforts, China went on a major infrastructure boom. It spent billions on things like utilities, roads, and railroads. In 2014, it spent $130 billion on a single railroad system.
The money to complete these projects was simply doled out. And now that manufacturing has fallen, the expected revenue intended to pay back this money is in question. In other words, $1 trillion worth of loans is about to come due, and China doesn't have the money to pay them off.
One thing to note about China's economic situation: This country largely restricts capital outflows. As a result, Chinese money often has to be invested within the nation's borders...
And the sector that receives the bulk of this money represents the third led of this collapsing stool...
All Eyes on Real Estate
I'm referring to real estate.
Thanks in part to an historic drop in manufacturing, China's real estate market is suffering, too. Real estate prices are down 15%. And recently, China's second-largest property developer, Evergrande Group, declared bankruptcy. This company owes $300 billion and can't pay it.
Moving forward, analysts project China's real estate market will fall another 15%. So this problem is far from over...
Only the Beginning
In fact, consider this:
Any action taken by China's government or financial experts will take time to have an impact. That means this country's collapse is inevitable...
And as with any major event, we'll soon discover the winners and losers.
Over the next few months, I'm going to guide you through this saga and reveal these winners and losers, starting right now.
You see, when China's economy teeters, a lot of global companies are also in trouble. This country represents the second-largest economy in the world. And if consumers there don't have the money to spend, companies that rely on Chinese consumers will see their bottom lines suffer.
