    China may be your black swan @cha (reuters article for your googling pleasure chinas-power-crunch-begins-weigh-economic-outlook-2021-09-27)
    increasing power rationing being blamed on high coal prices and tightening emission standards leading to factories shuttering including those that supply Apple and Tesla.

    And the latest measure of the cultural revolution 2.0 (cultural revolution lite) is the banning of TV adverts for medical beauty loans - loans for cosmetic medical procedures. Consumerism is going to take a back seat and lending for "non productive" purposes is going to be curtailed, there's also rumblings that they view property development for other than shelter as being non productive and that the days of 8%+ GDP targets propped up by property development are no longer favoured.

    Interesting times.
