The blame lays squarely with the CCP, and the burden of the resultant bureacracy, who thought the "investments" in foreign countrues and the building of artificial islands in the South China Sea was more important than looking after Chinese workers. They have proven that the boom was not a genuine, long term one.
That undoubtedly is affecting all of South China. The CCP is cutting off its nose to spite its face. Let Hong Kong thrive again and it will be a benefit for all of China. Of course, then others might want the freedom HK had so the CCP can't let that happen.
The CPP had a Goose that laid Golden Eggs in Hong Kong when it was handed over by the British at the end of the 99 year lease. They un-alived it for short-term profits over letting it thrive for long-term gain. Just like everywhere else in China.
Those riots have consequences and when those investment bankers moved to Singapore, their money followed. The pandemic also showed us we rely too much on Chinese manufacturing so now many US firms have diversified to other Asian countries. If you think it's bad now, wait 10 years when we shift even more business away.
Not destroyed but hobbled. Hong Kong was the Test Case for Taiwan. Now the Taiwanese see how China handles Hong Kong. So they say...No Thanks...we're not ready. Come back when you're a Democracy.
Yeah dude, that's how we felt. I graduated as a top-notch engineer in 2010 and nobody was hiring because all manufacturing went to China. So I went to China to teach English for a quarter of a normal salary.
They seem to be the opposite of the Japanese. The Japanese perfect their craft and have family businesses lasting 100+ years, they value others satisfaction over profits. Why do the Chinese treat each other like this? I dont understand how 2 countries can be so different.
The answer is America. After wwII, re-industrialization with American money and industry, made Toyota the standard for Japanese businesses. China has craftsmen in silk and pottery, but Mao hated the west and abused the land for industry. Japan's stagnation could be from Confucian traditionalism, same for Korea.
The irony was China built those factories on their coasts. So all that pollution would blow over to South Korea, which is why they are struggling with air pollution from China now.
After the U.S. initiates and normalizing relation with China in the early 70s, the relationship grew from then. By around 1980, U.S. corporate leaders were sent over to China to discuss serious plans. The rest of the events followed, including China opening up and Shenzhen was established as a special economic zone due to its proximity to Hong Kong. Hong Kong has been the largest and earliest investor in mainland China since the early 80s. Combined investments in China was still relatively small until the 90s when investments greatly surge. Hong Kong was still relatively poor during 70s. Its economy grew from the investments and cheap labor of mainland China. By the 90s, Hong Kong's economy grew very rapidly and then became known as the international financial center of Asia.

I only know of Chinese New Year. But I think the larger issue is that they created so many new shopping holidays that center around spending money. So it can all blend together.
They only have one, I think you're confusing their other "holidays" or shopping events, such as Singles Day, which is November 11 (or 11/11), and China's "National Day" which was last October
The Chinese depend on holiday shopping just like America. They just have different days. Honestly, I'm broke now since I observe both shopping holidays. I'm pretty sure I didn't need 10 carbon fiber fishing poles.
look at China. looks at all the help and boosting the west did. we wanted their population to join the world economy. everything you see, these cities. the west did that for China and they abused it like a bunch of gangsters. the entire country is rouined and its because the CCP won't relent to fix these things and their ambitions for the world are absurd. if they just focused on themselves and actually tried to be decent but the CCP has made that impossible. this is why people are so desperate and doing things just to hang on to whats left of the corrupt economy which is just adding more theft and scams
And it only took 5 years…how the mighty have fallen. Just so you know, Americans are not eating out like before and our mighty leaders are also killing the substrate of commerce.
the multinational global corporations do this to every country they move their factories into. eventually wages rise, and they move on to poorer countries. they did this to canada 50-40 years ago. you will learn to adapt. you will learn to create a sustainable economy that doesnt rely on manufacturing

Not sure if government inspections are completely bad, or in part. Why the restaurants and other shops are fearful and closing their shops? Very likely it is because they do not comply with security measures, have poor hygiene conditions, or are completely illegal businesses. Those who do their job right , and work according to the laws of hygiene security, etc. should not fear the inspectors. But there will be always something not done correctly and they face fines.
Inspectors should point to the owners what is wrong, make a list of things to correct, and give the owner a period of time to correct the faults; in the next inspection, if the owner did not comply, then a fine should be given.
Bureaucracy will seek to overregulate. Businesses in Denmark are getting fined if they accidentally write the wrong date on the inspection paper. You saw it in this video with a minor crack in the wall. There's no health concern from that, but the owner is getting fined regardless. Rules should be: 1. Don't sell expired food. 2. Prepare food properly. 3. Wash hands and clean tools used.

Some people are already disputing if they still are second since they constantly lie about their GDP numbers on paper. Look up the "Martinez Method". He used mathematical methods to estimate China's GDP. They also used lights emitted by the cities as a benchmark for economic activity.

I've lived in Guangzhou for the past 9 years, I haven't noticed a major slowdown for most of the places I frequent (except for massive construction projects), but I don't spend a lot of time on Beijing Rd. I might swing by this weekend and check it out. I'd be surprised if it is empty, but a reduction in overall business (crowds) is certainly possible.
I think it's also important to point out that Korean tech companies like LG and Samsung are not innovating fast enough to keep up with the demand for parts that can sustain AI technology and its corollary technologies. The demand for liquid crystal screens that Chinese factories would produce for these Korean companies is just no longer there, and the market is demanding for newer tech that China cannot produce. Korean store owners closing up shop is also a direct result of the rise of e-commerce. Why sustain a physical store front when you can just transfer everything online and run it out of a single space or warehouse? It's sad to see these stores go, but I don't think it's unusual either. I see the same thing happening in my country's own koreatowns, which are growing increasingly smaller.

It is a fair point that this is a global phenomenon due to demographics, internet, etc. The Chinese version is particularly stark though as these are ten year old sparking shopping malls just empty of customers. It's the mal-investment that's striking given they are sitting next to slums that weren't improved.
It's happening all over the world at a smaller scale, E commerce is a huge job killer for physical retail and F&B. China just has it the worst since they made everything so accessible with their mega apps WeChat and Alipay. But this phenomenon is coming, Amazon and Grab among others are aiming to be come the mega apps of the west and if enough people decide to use them for everything, brick and mortar will die. Personally I prefer going down to buy my stuff physically, but the convenience can't be denied. China may just be the canary in the coal mine for the rest of us.

Wolf warrior diplomacy was stupidly arrogant and is destroying Chinas industries. The world will not tolerate an arrogant Chinese bully. It is a tragedy for the hardworking people of China.
i feel the same way in the USA. The truth is that we're all suffering and China has finally caught up to Western standards. I make 80k a year in NYC and that ain't worth anything.
Communism is a policy meant for survival. Chinas rapid growth combined with their communist policies is the reason why citizens can never escape the “every man for himself” mentality. How do you have a whole generation of educated citizens and expect them to work on a communist salary of 1000-2000rmb , all while spending billions of dollars building ports and trying to conquer surrounding nations in an attempt to expand? How do you expect capitalism to work when you take equity in a company once it grows into something worthwhile?
That's funny, I just came back from Shenzhen and Guangzhou for my first holiday in China and I saw a vibrant city, big malls are pretty empty on weekdays but overcrowded on weekends. Best holidays ever 😁
Give them time. They must've had a lot of sources to cross-check for facts, even those published by state-run media. Then again, it's not gonna be easy discerning the actual rates if the government has censorship apparatuses active in case such information does make their way to the internet, but I'll agree with you on the fact that this information they spewed out should be taken with a grain of salt
@ThemePro24 Please pay attention, they were playing a clip of someone *else* speaking colloquially. It's an exaggerated way to say "almost everyone" or some variation of that. Is this honestly the first time you've heard someone use a statistic as a figure of speech? "99% of people who do x also do y" "Where's your evidence that it's exactly 99%?!"
CN law forbids outdoor work when temperature is above 34 degrees, and magically the official temperature rare exceeds that when multiple people with thermostats show its past 38. Large scale "accidents" are often covered up, unreported and rarely exceed 34 fatalities, because over that number officials get punished. It's a joke of a place, the thousands of tofu buildings somehow all passed inspection. What reliable data in such a place?
That's BS. Shopping malls are not just meant for people doing purchase. Shopping malls are community area where people meet people interact and away from their tiny home for a place to escape.
I don’t know if these reports are true or not. These reports make it seem like China is falling apart but the world governments seems to behave as if they’re doing great.
The common people are a separate entity from large corporation. An economy may be healthy overall, but that doesn't mean the little guy is doing well. Take Russia as an example, if you work in making missiles and tanks, you are doing very well, but I'm sure the fast food worker is praying a Korean gets sent to the front lines instead of him.
Thanks for the reporting. I feel for the hardworking people of China. It seems there are going to be difficult times ahead. I hope that change comes peacefully.
No offense- the entire cultural revolution completely buried century. But American open arms policy for China, brought China to the world trade organization. Without the west China still poorest nation. Therefore, China must greatly appreciative, not going to war against the west and stolen high tech.

@@patrickt49 Thanks mate 👍, I just found some videos on Martinez Method & China. Well who would have thought China would lie about it's GDP, what a surprise ... Not 🤔😂
I've lived in Guangzhou for the past 9 years, I haven't noticed a major slowdown for most of the places I frequent (except for massive construction projects), but I don't spend a lot of time on Beijing Rd. I might swing by this weekend and check it out. I'd be surprised if it is empty, but a reduction in overall business (crowds) is certainly possible.
Let us know what you see when you swing by
I think it's also important to point out that Korean tech companies like LG and Samsung are not innovating fast enough to keep up with the demand for parts that can sustain AI technology and its corollary technologies. The demand for liquid crystal screens that Chinese factories would produce for these Korean companies is just no longer there, and the market is demanding for newer tech that China cannot produce. Korean store owners closing up shop is also a direct result of the rise of e-commerce. Why sustain a physical store front when you can just transfer everything online and run it out of a single space or warehouse? It's sad to see these stores go, but I don't think it's unusual either. I see the same thing happening in my country's own koreatowns, which are growing increasingly smaller.
Why do you show videos of Shanghai when discussing Guangzhou?
Shanghai is prettier than Guangzhou and it's probably stock footage, but most likely interchangeable.
@@thieupham493it's not interchangeable if the video is specifically about Guangzhou
@@seth1455 What's the difference between one trashy Chinese city and another? That's like comparing labor camps.
And you all know who you can thank for the hardships right? 😮
Empty containers from China are worth more than full ones. Full ones you have to pay to take the contents to the dump.
Go to nearly any town in UK and you will also see shops closed and empty. There is money around but not in the high streets.
Same in the great cities of California
Predictable result of Brexit. It's not going to improve any time soon.
@@wheezysqueezebox7651hogwash....Brexit was destroyed by 645 MPs who did everything to stop, distort, corrupt the aim..Aim...
But despite the EU I see a positive future for the UK
It is a fair point that this is a global phenomenon due to demographics, internet, etc. The Chinese version is particularly stark though as these are ten year old sparking shopping malls just empty of customers. It's the mal-investment that's striking given they are sitting next to slums that weren't improved.
It’s a different scenario. China is not spending billions trying to ethnically replace their native population at breakneck speed.
really slumps when beijing road looked like that. HLin 3/13/24
It's happening all over the world at a smaller scale, E commerce is a huge job killer for physical retail and F&B. China just has it the worst since they made everything so accessible with their mega apps WeChat and Alipay. But this phenomenon is coming, Amazon and Grab among others are aiming to be come the mega apps of the west and if enough people decide to use them for everything, brick and mortar will die. Personally I prefer going down to buy my stuff physically, but the convenience can't be denied. China may just be the canary in the coal mine for the rest of us.
Right. It's the same here in Russia. Most physical shops are empty, no people on the streets, everyone orders everything online.
I said years ago that this was going to happen! 😮
Its now GuangGONE.
😮wow! It’s all gone! This is really bad.
Soon there will be no one left to fine.
OOFconomy goes OOF!
a song comes to mind by jackson brown. runnin on empty..
If the Quality of your Product is Best Quaĺity and Well Made and CONSISTENT Quality you would have no Problem with people willing to pay more for it GREED and Corruption are.your problems
Not true, take a look at Tesla, they are the lowest quality cars in China, yet Chinese are actually too stupid to buy a better car because Elon has convinced them only rich people drive Teslas.
Wolf warrior diplomacy was stupidly arrogant and is destroying Chinas industries. The world will not tolerate an arrogant Chinese bully. It is a tragedy for the hardworking people of China.
So what is your plan to survive?
Suck up to Elon
Can somebody teach the narrator how to pronounce the name of the city he's talking about.
Is it possible for at least one Chinese netizen to appear on a video without a filter? NO, I GUESS NOT
Winnie-the-Pooh is who you get to thank
i feel the same way in the USA. The truth is that we're all suffering and China has finally caught up to Western standards. I make 80k a year in NYC and that ain't worth anything.
God, how do you live? 80K in NYC is barely enough to eat at McDonalds.
@@thieupham493this is absurd.
Did you hear south Korea declared martial law
👉🦅 Someone poked an eagle in the eye. Eagle Pokers.
Communism is a policy meant for survival. Chinas rapid growth combined with their communist policies is the reason why citizens can never escape the “every man for himself” mentality. How do you have a whole generation of educated citizens and expect them to work on a communist salary of 1000-2000rmb , all while spending billions of dollars building ports and trying to conquer surrounding nations in an attempt to expand? How do you expect capitalism to work when you take equity in a company once it grows into something worthwhile?
That's funny, I just came back from Shenzhen and Guangzhou for my first holiday in China and I saw a vibrant city, big malls are pretty empty on weekdays but overcrowded on weekends. Best holidays ever 😁
Karmic retribution for being a bully to the world 😂. LMAO
Place looks like a Left 4 dead map
They should ask the Russians for help.
90% of people have 0 income ? Seems like Anchor took too much marijuana😂
Where’s the evidence that 90% of the residents have zero income? How can we take any of your video seriously when you float ridiculous numbers?
Give them time. They must've had a lot of sources to cross-check for facts, even those published by state-run media. Then again, it's not gonna be easy discerning the actual rates if the government has censorship apparatuses active in case such information does make their way to the internet, but I'll agree with you on the fact that this information they spewed out should be taken with a grain of salt
@ThemePro24 Please pay attention, they were playing a clip of someone *else* speaking colloquially. It's an exaggerated way to say "almost everyone" or some variation of that. Is this honestly the first time you've heard someone use a statistic as a figure of speech?
"99% of people who do x also do y" "Where's your evidence that it's exactly 99%?!"
Well CN official statistics are pretty inflated as well from gdp, growth, trade to even population.
CN law forbids outdoor work when temperature is above 34 degrees, and magically the official temperature rare exceeds that when multiple people with thermostats show its past 38. Large scale "accidents" are often covered up, unreported and rarely exceed 34 fatalities, because over that number officials get punished. It's a joke of a place, the thousands of tofu buildings somehow all passed inspection. What reliable data in such a place?
No,, no, that's just the percentage of Chinese who don't report their income so they don't have to pay taxes.
Online shopping made shopping malls obsolete. People don't go out to shop and eat anymore, everything is delivered.
That's BS. Shopping malls are not just meant for people doing purchase. Shopping malls are community area where people meet people interact and away from their tiny home for a place to escape.
@malayaharimau people do that on social media now. Do try to keep up.
@@dcc70 you keep up. Not everyone lives online, even very young people.
I guess online and mall’s prices are almost close, moreover you can enjoy, take pics in malls or do joy rides or other fun activities 😂
@@John-fk2ky what are you doing here? Don't you have a mall to go to?

I don’t know if these reports are true or not. These reports make it seem like China is falling apart but the world governments seems to behave as if they’re doing great.
The common people are a separate entity from large corporation. An economy may be healthy overall, but that doesn't mean the little guy is doing well. Take Russia as an example, if you work in making missiles and tanks, you are doing very well, but I'm sure the fast food worker is praying a Korean gets sent to the front lines instead of him.

Trump is king of the world it seems
Yes and Elon is his jester which means that Elon is secretly in charge.
Wait for Trump to arrive. This is nothing.
Trump is only a pawn, it's going to be Elon pulling the strings.
15 min of bragging about china, learn live with basics, so do I😂
This channel spreads propaganda and it's based in US but channel name is "China Observer". 😂
Thanks for the reporting. I feel for the hardworking people of China. It seems there are going to be difficult times ahead. I hope that change comes peacefully.

chinese are upset with trump? lol.
Karma
Hohoho hmmm another poorly paid black propaganda…hmmm so pity.so pity.
Very funny!!!
See.what a desperate channel to spread hate about China
This is strange, I visited guangzhou last month, including Beijing Road. It was bustling.
People are at home, learning the parties guidelines by heart.

Poor people still buy LCD, mostly because they don't know what they're missing.

No offense- the entire cultural revolution completely buried century.
But American open arms policy for China, brought China to the world trade organization.
Without the west China still poorest nation.
Therefore, China must greatly appreciative, not going to war against the west and stolen high tech.
