Why I'm Worried About China

If one were to follow your logic - the collapse of China and global depression. The conclusion is quite meager - buy stocks around China's economy. But didn't you just say that the collapse would finish off nations already weakened by recession. I would say you should recommend shorting if a global depression is coming.

China is very large and more basic ala America in the 40's. This will be the test if they are another export based economy like Japan or something else. I am betting on the latter if one goes by history. They aim to be the crossroads of markets. Watch their chip and biotech industries they are getting tired of basic industrials. It will not take much if a few tech companies explode out worldwide with innovations. (We will still be debating vouchers for school systems). That will change peoples mind from hanging around the docks to gauge sentiment.
