Something very interesting about this comments section. For years now when HN had a link about problems with the Chinese economy, there would be number of comments from China defenders who would say no, things are fine and the government knows exactly what it is doing. I strongly suspected many of them were paid government trolls. This time we are aren't getting any such comments. Instead we have gotten a number of attacks on Krugman, without saying anything specific about how his analysis is wrong. I could be mistaken, but I am guessing that the troll minders see they can't make a real defense, so they are trying to just distract readers away from what Krugman had to say.
