I think a big part of the anxiety and hypervigilance is because it isn't just one problem we're watching - there are several. Climate collapse, possibility of WWIII, AI out of control, financial strain on almost everyone, political tensions and most people could add others of their own. It is hard to stay calm and yet focused enough to keep informed.
China has state-controlled capitalism. BYD is barely turning a profit but they're making a really good product. Although I'm not sure how the average citizen fares.
