Who Is Gordon G. Chang’s Wife?

Chang has said that the Chinese government would collapse in 2012 and 2016. Chang also says that China is a “new dot-com bubble”, adding that the rapid growth by China is not supported by various internal factors such as decrease in population growth as well as slowing retail sales. In a separate interview, he remarked that China achieved its 149.2 percent of its current trade surplus with the US through “lying, cheating, and stealing” and that if China decided to realize its threat that had been expressed since August 2007 to sell its US Treasuries, it would actually hurt its own economy which is reliant on exports to the US; the economy of the US would be hurt by a sell-off of Treasuries, causing the US to buy less from China, which would in turn hurt the Chinese economy.

In Nuclear Showdown: North Korea Takes on the World (2006), Chang says that North Korea is most likely to target Japan, not South Korea. He also says that North Korean nuclear ambitions could be forestalled if there were concerted multinational diplomacy, with some “limits to patience” backed up by threat of an all-out Korean war.

Since 2001 Chang has made predictions that the Chinese government will eventually collapse. Shen Dingli, director of the Center for American Studies at Fudan University, wrote that Chang’s predictions “collapse his own credibility.”

Chang graduated from Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey, in 1969, and served as class president in his senior year. Four years later, he graduated from Cornell University, where he was a member of the Quill and Dagger society, and graduated from the Cornell Law School in 1976.

Gordon Guthrie Chang (born 1951) is a Chinese American columnist, blogger, television pundit, author and lawyer. He is widely known for his book The Coming Collapse of China (2001), in which he claimed that the hidden nonperforming loans of the “Big Four” Chinese state banks would likely bring down China’s financial system and its communist government.
