China's economy is bad what a coincidence so is America's Egypt Russia's Israel's you know what just about every nation on Earth economies are collapsing almost as if there's a Planned agenda to move people to a centralized digital currency controlled by the Satanist I think there was a book that mentioned this several hundred years ago oh yeah the Bible they refer to it as Mark of the Beast
Latin America is much like China-- the laws and governments are set up to fleece everybody and everything. Also the infrastructure and educational norms are shoddy. It's hard to say whether moving manufacturing there would be an improvement over China.
I have to say that as a Mexican one of my cousins got defrauded by a Chinese businessman who took all his money and Everything that he had worked for, it was such a tragedy😢 nobody in my community believes in China or the Chinese anymore
In the late nineties. My cousin is an engineer and had a company that did contracted projects for the oil rigs in Mexico. Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz. I was very young and couldn't give you any more specifics but I can tell you it was a lot of money

NEVER ever do business with Chinese entities without rock solid letters of credit, or performance bonds. If there is ANY way for them to not pay you, they won't.
The debt-traps that China has been snaring other countries in go deeper than we know. The conditions of these loans go way beyond just exorbitant interest.
You should ask the Greeks and Sth America countries about the debt traps of the IMF. Greece will never pay off there debt to the IMF and it has literally taken over Greeces sovereignty. You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about
@@johnm7267 "You should ask the Greeks and Sth America countries about the debt traps of the IMF. Greece will never pay off there debt to the IMF and it has literally taken over Greeces sovereignty." LOL. The 'debt traps' where the IMF is handing out loans and then forgiving them to distribute American money? "You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about" Well, I'm not spewing dopey bullshit in defense of the Chi-Coms, so there's at least one person here that I clearly know more than.
Back when you guys (laowhy86 & serpentza) used to make videos in China about how much you loved being there and starting your families it was so exciting to think of China as a place that had really made progressive moves and I myself had considered going and checking it out. I remember there were lots of Chinese students that used to go to the local university here, but later around the same time the videos you guys were making became kind of scary at times, the Chinese student population disappeared. So sad what greatness Xi stopped China from achieving.
Perhaps there are no more Chinese students at foriegn universities. The positive is there are no more subversive Chinese ripping down people's free speech because of Chinese brainwashing.
Hah.....it's amazing how come till today there are still readers who can be easily fooled by the 2 blatant liars - laowhy86 & serpentza? 3 of them if you will to include poster of "China Uncensored" (now goes by another name). Come on, just think outside your box of whatever the 3 idiotic jokers are constantly spewing about China. If you can totally believe them, then I must say you are still sleeping under your coconut shell. As there are many other posters from various countries on this TH-cam who spoke favourably (including negatively) of the things really happening in China. I bet you can easily find them on TH-cam here
This why I considered Li Keqiang the most dangerous Chinese leader. He understood economics, understood there were problems, and was grounded in reality. The same cannot be said for the rest of them.
Li Keqiang would have made a great General Secretary. I really think he could have turned the country around. But at this point, something like that will not be happening anytime soon.
Mean while in Finland, they build an gas pipe line between Finland and the Baltic states. Suddenly someone damaged the pipe line and also the underwater cables within Finland and Sweden: "The police can now confirm with certainty that the anchor in the ongoing sabotage investigation originated from the Chinese-flagged vessel Newnew Polar Bear" China must walk very carefully, because we finns we see this as an act of war. Even we don't say it loudly, when they say: "Sabotage". It's haves an different meaning.
I agree the world needs accountability from the CCP over the virus. We must not forget the culpability of the WHO, Ecohealth alliance, and Dr. Fauci. They funded and created the circumstance that let this happen and then attempted to cover it up.
You see it as an act of war because it bloody is. CCP has been doing this all over Asia, too. It’s incredible people have put up with this for so long.
I have watched our leaders sell out the workers of the US since the 1980's when i worked in San Francisco's garment district. Most of us lost our jobs when the sewing factors closed. I've refused, as much as I can, to buy from China since around 2004.
How can any US companies compete against china's wages? No US company can last long paying people $25/hour plus bennies. China's wages are around $1.25/hour. Ultimately, the working class that depend on low Walmart prices cannot afford to pay $25/pack of underwear when chinese made undies cost $9.95 at Walmart. So paying US workers hurts American workers who need to make their paychecks last and not paying union labor and union bloat.
China is now losing work to Viernam, Bangladesh, India, and other more efficient and stable countries. So they are experiencing the same cut throat competition they inflicted on the US.
As an elder millennial, one of the few advantages is having lived through the Great Recession. My advice. Reduce unnecessary expenses, increase your savings by investing in financial markets and do not sell. One thing I know for sure is that diversifying your income can help insulate you from much of the craziness going on in the world
use and re-use is also good. Why buy new when it works fine for the purpose and can be repaired? Sure its not the fancy metal neon looking equipment but a fancy decoration wont make better coffee for example.. its the same coffee you get in most machines.. Why pay for a WIFI and bluetooth connected coffee maker that use filter and a water punp? what difference does the WIFI and bluetooth do?
Perhaps the common Filipino should ask for reparations from Duterte's deluded fans, who thought partnering with the CCP was a stroke of genius. "There are three of us against the world: China, Philippines, and Russia." - Rodrigo Duterte (lol)
I love how you compared China to a supernova. Like after a supernova it collapses into a black hole. So when China's economy collapses it pulls the other country investors along with them.

For better or for worse... most Chinese people is really good at tolerating bad government, simply because there isn't a lot of good ones in their history.
It’s because economies take time as they work on cycles and a look at history shows the Chinese are extremely masochistic and get off on being abused and oppressed. It’s the only explanation that makes sense. Oh, and are extremely cowardly.
@sdHansynot really. People are not shy to share their discontent in the West. In China, if you do so you’re putting yourself at risk of being charged with “Picking quarrels and provoking trouble”.
My Chinese student told me they’re shortening the Chinese New Year Spring Holiday because they need to help the GDP. I knew there was a big problem then. Turns out kids are great sources of information. 🤷🏼♀️
Cultivate is super helpful. I tried it off of your recommendation. I typed in made in USA and it was still manufactured in China 😂 90% of everything on Amazon is.
It’s completely over for China, the reality is that a business can operate in China but the owners/ceos/management can be imprisoned for sharing their own data with a foreign business. This reality repels investment
Completely over for China? Hah...either you are trying to be another idiotic Gordon Chang wannabe on the making. Or you are still sleeping under your coconut shell. Just go & check how those corporate leaders worth their salt know how it's so difficult to get their supply chains outside China. And why those foreign companies that love to talk about shifting their operations to other countries DID NOT DARE TO TOTALLY moved out ALL their operations. WHY? That you got to find out for yourself before spewing your rubbish here.
Thank you for supporting Taiwan businesses. As a Taiwanese in U.S., I always buy Taiwanese snacks and Taiwanese plumbing parts such as washers because they are tasty and durable. Keep up the good work.
My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in US. The government has really called things more difficult for its citizens,and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance.

I've been getting daily updates on China since about 2018 because I figured that as the second largest economy in the world, what happens there would probably affect me. In 2020, I realized covid would be a major issue about a month before most people in the west ever heard of it, and in 2022 as I watched Evergrande collapse, I told my friend who works as an executive in the Australian iron mining industry to get the hell out of dodge and walk away while they were still in the black. (they partially did, and recently told me they wish they had fully done so like I suggested, because not walking away fully cost them almost $1 million) And all the news I've been seeing about China in 2023, there is only one word that comes to mind... Apogee, the highest point in an arc. With every new story, the more I am convinced that someone who is about 50 today will live to see the rise and fall of China in a single lifetime. Even if the CCP were to disappear tomorrow, their demographics and shoddy infrastructure has locked them into an inevitable collapse that will last decades at a minimum. Add in the global threats of climate change and AI, and frankly I just don't see China ever returning to growth and now simply wait for the day that India claims the title of "2nd largest economy in the world"... Which I imagine would be the greatest humiliation China will face short of losing a war to invade Taiwan and getting bodyslammed by the US in the process.
Why oh why do you trust anything Communist countries say . They lie, always have. sixty years that I have witnessed. The USSR was the past master at it. China growth rate 7.5 when the rest of the world was around 2 or 2.5. Utter rubbish China never managed that
India, (especially under Modi) is pretty self-sufficient and immune to economic sanctions, but they have their own issues including climate. It's hard to study India because you have to study it in parts that are sometimes independent of each other and sometimes integrated... in 12 dimensions. On China, though, Matt made an interesting metaphor about China as a star that is imploding. The thing is that stars swell and expand outward and eat the inner planets before they collapse because there is nothing in the core to support it. All National initiatives came from money raised by local governments. Local governments, to meet the needs of the National government, did schemes to raise money such as Development by Real Estate Developers such as Evergrande and Country Gardens. Twice per year, they raised money through development. This December: No credit and no developers. The banks and the shadow banking system that depended on these schemes are doing their own schemes such as not allowing money to be withdrawn even for the simplest things... or, just stealing depositors' money. Finally, local governments are using illegal 'fines' ("You cut a cucumber the wrong way", "the tires on your truck are too muddy", "Your EMPTY truck is 22 tons over the limit", etc. I have terabytes of video with citations) China and Russia are very quickly getting down to their very last weapon.
I personally appreciate your efforts to site your sources Matt. I know it’s probably a pain but it’s important and I want to recognize you for that good work

Argentina wants to adopt the dollar, but due to their bankruptcy, they probably won't have the money necessary to buy back and replace their own currency. Switching currencies is actually very expensive.
I have been to China 6 times and so sad it is heading this direction, almost considered living there at one point, boy, how things have changed. Not fair at all on the lovely people there imo.
@@midgetydeath you want China to become poor again. Nothing has changed in America either. Same crime and killings and poverty and homeless. Still homeless people are sleeping on the streets under filthy conditions with no access to toilets and clean water. Youth are still shattering bus shelters, slashing car tires, writing ugly graffiti on the walls everywhere, doing drugs and looting stores. Raping vulnerable girls and do pedophilia. Doing school shootings. Still pushing elderly on to the incoming traffic from the edge of the road. Nothing changed. Shame in you. Hey clown, China changes every 6 months for the better.
I just don't like these videos are they are usually presenting things in a propagandist manner, because most of NPC's are not capable of taking a look at how the west is doing (news flash - it's not doing well).
You got a Supernova the wrong way around i'm afraid. The star implodes first because the fuel in the centre exhausts and the fusion stops, and with it, the outwards pressure that was counteracting the force of gravity. Therefore the entire mass of the star collapses in on itself unleashing enormous amounts of energy in the process. And yes, I'm great fun at parties
The small Dutch town of Eindhoven manufactures the machines responsible for producing advanced computer chips. Only the Dutch possess the know-how and skills necessary for crafting these intricate machines. Given the close alliance between the Netherlands and the US, when the US requested them to cease selling these crucial machines to China, they complied.
The Concrete Confessional blog guy has some insane stories about being an educational consultant for the children of China's elite politicians / businesspeople/ celebrities. The first part is called "I Was Simon Song." It's def worth checking out. He was in Shenzhen during the COVID lockdowns, the A4 protests, and the pro-democracy riots in Hong Kong, as well.
Thanks! That's wild news. I knew taking over Hong Kong was a mistake. Hong Kong is what made the CCP rich to begin with. If the CCP were smart, they should recognize Hong Kong and Taiwan as autonomous regions and learn a thing or two.
Xi's legacy: * Looked like Winnie the Pooh * was the dude who stuffed up the Chinese economy (with a bullhorn) * cancelled the CCP (sort of by accident) * to be continued
Ok, once it really crashes, I will consider listening to you again. You doing the vids with the bold and loud titles like that for the whole time I subscribed to you, and, afaik, the average Lao is in his richest years right now. It doesn't necessaty mean you are wrong and it can't crash (every economy can, and you won't see it coming most of the times), but the amount of videos telling me that CHINA IS COLLAPSING RIGHT FREAKING NOW is actually making me more skeptical every time you post something like that.
I’m in Australia and on tv they’re advertising a shitload of these holiday trips to China to “see the beautiful scenery, the Great Wall of China…” no wonder😂
its funny honestly, nobody here in Oz is gonna go there, so the chinese are paying for nothing, free money. i think the chinese government didnt realise the fact the government is reaching for trade barriers to go down and saying normalisation of relations which is a good thing would somehow make average citizens forget the terrible shit china does in china.
My issue with B.R.I.C.S is that they were pushing for a B.R.I.C.S form of currency, which to me, sounds like a wildly outlandish idea. So five countries, only three of which share a border would make their own money and expect the rest of the world to accept it? At this point in the game, currency only has value because we make it have value, no one is going to accept that form of currency and they'll be dealing with monopoly money at that point.
B.R.I.C.S would be better off as B.I. at this point. Russia has been ostracized by the world because of failed-dictator Putin, China is about to succumb to all the problems outlined in this video, and South Africa's growth is decelerating.
@@CubicIronPyrite absolutely right! China and Russia are pretty much authoritative nations on everything but paper and South Africa is destabilizing fast. China is out here trying to do imperialism but can't even give their on people potable water. If the CCP thinks that the local county debts are a county issue, they need to look up the domino effect, lols.
Our government is like leeches - they will latch onto anyone they think they can parasite some "investment" money out of, as they have bankrupted most of the entities in SA that possibly can be drained. They will pally pally up to China, Russia, any country or body that shows an interest. It was very "illuminating" that we had no loadshedding during the BRICS conference, only to be plunged back onto stage 6 as soon as the representatives were safely away on their planes. Putin would have been welcome too, if it had not been for the international outcry, so he could only participate on video link. But we allowed a Russian ship to dock in Simonstown, and the corrupt municipality of Knysna welcomed a Russian delegation.
I'm currently suing 3 Chinese companies Tops Learning, iEnglish and one UK company, called Phenix Publishing, which is just a front for the previously mentioned companies. They stopped paying for work done for them and still owe about 50 people. The excuses I have been given over the years, are laughable, then they started to rewrite reality. So we finally had enough and served them papers.
China has decided they want to take advantage of the Western-built post-WW2 business and political world system and western wealth to build up their influence, and then, having learned NOTHING, they want to break it down and make it more like their disfunctional selves. Unfortunately, much of the developing world has little experience with open markets, rule of law, and democracy, so the Chinese siren song resonates. The supposed "efficiency" of autocrats even attracts some political leaders in the US, (mostly in the Republican Party.) The prospect of a world that morphs into the totalitarian, corrupt model of the autocracies is extremely depressing. I hope this generation does not ignore the lessons developed by blood sacrifice of the Greatest Generation.
I love that you and Winston have opened my eyes to the real China. Do you ever drop links to these Chinese propaganda videos so we can enjoy the comedy and desperation? LOVE your channel. I watch every video, it's fascinating!
I used to live in China and it was a fascinating place. People were very nice. Then the govt started more control and shifted their propaganda to being anti western. The people are now suffering for it. I will not go back there. Sad.

Contemporary China, is for all intents and purposes, is 'governed' by another emperor just like from the bad old days before the Xinhai Revolution. As history has shown consistently, absolutist regimes rise and fall with the peccadillos of the guy in charge. All that is different from the dynastic period is how the emperor is chosen (rising through the ranks of the CCP) and how one becomes a bureaucrat (CCP membership instead of the Keju & holders of a Jinshi).
i love how you worked in references and comparisons to Taiwan! I'd love to see how inapposite Taiwan is in other ways. Like if mainland uses gutter oil, show examples of how Taiwanese vendors don't go anywhere near gutter oil, or that mainlanders treat their disabled people like trash whereas Taiwanese have great social benefits for disabled people, etc.
To be fair, not using gutter oil to cook is something to be expected and hoped for, not a sign you're deserving of praise. Still, there are a ton of stuff Taiwan does right, some better than other developed nations like the US and Europe.
"China doesn't make anything the world needs with its own innovations. It was the world's factory." You took the words out of my mouth! My husband and I have discussed this many times and I have said exactly this statement. I had a college professor who spent time in China and he told me the most striking thing was how so much of China was a straight up copy of things in the US. For example, the highway system is exactly the same right down to the signage. China doesn't create things, it duplicates them effectively.
I doubt they copied the USA's public transport systems. There were definitely better options out there in other countries they could copy. Though honestly, if something someone else is doing works better, why wouldn't you at least try to learn from it and update your own equivalent?
Just wanted to say, always appreciate your videos and takes on China, I have watched a lot of your content, and just wanted to thank you for presenting quality information.

We’re witnessing the complete collapse of an advanced national economy on a scale we’ve never seen before. Various third-world dictatorships have blown up their economies, but they had no impact on the world as a whole. China is the second largest economy in the world and is deeply coupled to almost every other country. And they’re not just having a recession, it’s a total economic collapse. There’s no precedent for this, no one has any idea how it’s going to play out, but it’s going to be ugly.

Don’t worry about China’s economic woes. It looks more and more ominous for the US too. A recession is very likely by quarter two of next year for the US, according to US economists. Unemployment is going to rise exponentially. Be prepared.
As far as the chip technology is concerned that is one of the reasons why Taiwan is so important because we have shared a lot of our advanced technologies with Taiwan. As far as I know China can not reproduce the microtechnology of most of our modern chips but Taiwan has those capabilities already and even produces some of our military components.

It is extraordinary that for all the technological achievements of the US, China is now seen as being ahead in this field almost across the board. According to the results, this is a view endorsed by a majority of the public even in the most devout allies of the US, including Australia, Canada, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden. NB: The above is part copied from the report on the survey done by Pew Research Center
In manufacturing its quite bad because they've purchased the same staggering high quantity of raw materials with a fraction of the business. So shops are standing still when they're generally non-stop busy, and there are massive freak outs happening internally not knowing where to turn to next because outside sales generally never existed in China manufacturing, it wasn't ever needed.
Remember that an economy dying doesnt mean the country will. Take Iran and North Korea for example. If anything, it might make it easier for the CCP to fully turn it into a bigger North Korea. The only problem for them is that China is a very large center piece of most third world countries economies and if that completely goes under, so will these other nations eventually. Not to mention how much this will affect western economies as well.
China won't disappear...it's lasted in some form for thousands of years. The issue is 1) will the CCP promote war to retain power. 2) Will this cause an economic depression around Asia and the world and 3) Will this cause another tsunami of mass migration that will finally destroy the West culturally and economically.
@@reekinronald6776 Saying China has lasted in some form for thousands of years is like saying Rome has lasted to this day, you're technically not wrong, but the people and ideologies are wildly different between those groups, the only thing that lets people claim China has lasted that long is that its dynasties and rulers owned the same definitive plots of land, which even then that land has a different role today than it did 5 thousand years ago. Also "finally destroy the West culturally and economically." ? Do you think the West is so weak that getting more people would destroy it? How many people are we talking? If you suddenly teleported 400 million Chinese people into America then yes I'd say culturally we'd be a lot more shifted towards Chinese and Asian roots, but that's such a wild and obscene scenario.

Summary of China's economic future: 1. Property/construction was an unsustainable 30% of GDP. The big infrastructure projects are finished, residential construction is way overbuilt, and debt financing is restricted. Property/construction ranges from 10% to 15% of GDP throughout the developed world. Assuming China's ratio is forced down to 15%, that's a 15% loss of GDP. 2. Industries related to property/construction (including steel, transport, heavy equipment manufacturing, sales & leasing, and support services like uniforms/clothing & food) will also shrink. The assumption here is an additional 5% of GDP. 3. China's exports to Europe and America are down 12% and 16% respectively. Total exports were recently reported to be down 14%. Because exports contribute 40% of China's economy the export drop represents a 5% loss of GDP. 15% + 5% + 5% = 25% decline in GDP, same as America in the Great Depression. There's a lot of other data supporting the China Depression thesis: 1. CCP has greatly reduced published economic metrics. 2. CCP is attempting to rig the Shanghai stock market by intimidating short sellers. 3. FDI is down. 4. Several major Western institutional investors are leaving. 5. Thousands of closed factories & many reports of factories moving to Vietnam, Thailand, India, and Mexico. 6. Age 16 to 24 unemployment officially reported at 21% is in reality 45%. 7. Blatant and pervasive age discrimination towards people over 35 years old. 8. Cash shortages at banks. 9. Provincial government running huge deficits and resorting to extreme measures for financing. 10. Bankruptcy of China's largest property developers. 11. Many thousands of closed shops and restaurants and empty shopping malls. 12. Major Western brands leaving eg Carrefour.
I think Xi Jinping hoped all the unsustainable "time to pay up" downsides would happen outside of his lifetime, so he'd have some sort of false "legacy."
@@RG-iw4c It probably didn't grow 5% annually in the past couple years. The numbers coming from the Chinese government are incomplete, suspicious and not transparent and China is known for inflating their economy with real estate for example.
"Although widely regarded as the "powerhouse of manufacturing" or "the factory of the world", exports contribute only a comparatively small proportion of the Chinese economy, at just 18.5% in 2020. Of the world's 500 largest companies, 142 are headquartered in China." Like... seriously. Directly from wikipedia.
The back against the wall narative has been used so many times to justify violence and keep dictators in power. China, when backed to the wall, will need to face it’s people, those people that the CCP has been defrauded for so long
China inevitably will slowly revert back to 1970s-early 1980s china. Back then china was all smiling and accommodating to even the smallest investors. I had a copy of their trade magazine from the early 80s. The products they were advertising in that magazine were paint brushes made from pig hair, tennis shoes with designs that looked like from the early 1970s, frying baskets made from galvanized chicken wire and bamboo, woks of different sizes and 10 more black and white ads for paint brushes made from pig hair. I can remember I felt sorry for them looking at their products they were desperately selling at the international market.

Chinese labor cost have increased 14 times with worker productivity increasing 100% in that same period. China is no longer the low cost manufacturer it once was. The CCP covering company loses is yet another expense that bankrupt the government. Just waiting for the first domino to fall and the rest will play itself out. Will be a very scary time. That’s why the US has record factory construction happening today.
China’s economic and demographic problems are bad and getting worse but it is always surprising how well decrepit systems can limp along with the odd uptick now and then. The USSR was expected to fail soon for decades before people gave up and decided that we would have to learn to live with the USSR existing for another 70 years-only then did it fall. The “rise” and fall of the USSR and “rise” and fall of the Russian Federation can be seen as waves of ups and downs that occur as an empire (like the Russian empire) decays and stabilize then decay again over centuries. Like when the Roman Empire in the west fell and people thought the rise of the Byzantine empire was a restoration when it was just a temporary reprieve and part of the process of the end of the entire Roman Empire, so the Soviets and Russian Federation represent stages in a long decline and the Chinese Communist era represent a stage in the decline of the Chinese empire. But these declines can be long processes. Countries like Cuba, Iran and North Korea manage to make imminent and active failure an ongoing status quo for decades despite people forecasting collapse within months, constantly. Failing systems often can be very successful at drawing out their failures, leaving people divided as to whether they will fail in months or if they are actually succeeded and growing.

If I could only insist on buying only U.S. made goods, but they are hard to find. Even my favorite Pen, a U.S. made Parker, now all I find are U.K made junk. What happened to U.S. quality? With the 1/4ly report, the baby went out with that? When I was young, Made in America or Made in The U.S. of A. said something, quality; now it says junk. On the flip side, Made in Japan had said junk, but that had changed to Lasting Quality you can count on. Ford, Chrysler, GM, how to you compete with Toyota, Honda... ? you gave up... The Mustang, SUS's & Pickups are it. You quit, didn't you. My SUV is an MDX, & sure my wife drives an Accent, her first car was a GM, & broke with in hours of her first day driving it. She will NEVER buy any American car. Now, Made in America says Junk. What happened to The American Business? It is so sad.

Look up the NBN-ZTE Broadband deal and the Northrail Scandal. Most Filipinos' distrust over Chinese deals didn't just start with the BRI. Every Filipino knew that Chinese deals tend to get wrapped up in corruption scandals, that's why there's so much distrust with these new BRI projects. In contrast, Japanese projects like the ones under JICA delivers better. That's why Japan has a strong reputation for quality in the Philippines.

The company that I work for has been importing from China for decades. We are now moving away and looking for manufacturing in places like Vietnam and Mexico. All because of China's actions and aggressive stance and treatment of their minority populations.
Basic common sense: if a company leaves you to do business in another country, it's because that country is better than yours...don't hire someone to act like it isn't the case.
For many months now I keep seeing videos saying how terribly china is doing, and how it's about to collapse. Yet China somehow continues to exist. Either those videos are wrong, or China is the most resilient country ever. I'm definitely not moving to China any time soon, but it's also probably not "worse than I thought".
Consider that the Chinese military has next to zero real combat experience and very little experience operating and maintaining their aircraft carriers and almost everything they have was made on the Harbor Freight model of quality and the entire personnel is corrupt to the core from the chief of staff down to the lowest private with no more motivation and morale than, "Don't hurt me!" ,but we're supposed to believe they're the new Second Army of the World right after the other second army of the world and they have only one very unsecured coastline surrounded by enemies..

USA companies should move their Chinese manufacturing to Latin America. Create jobs there so Latin Americans don't feel like they have to immigrate.
Bingo!
Absolutely

100% agree
Latin America is much like China-- the laws and governments are set up to fleece everybody and everything. Also the infrastructure and educational norms are shoddy. It's hard to say whether moving manufacturing there would be an improvement over China.
I have to say that as a Mexican one of my cousins got defrauded by a Chinese businessman who took all his money and Everything that he had worked for, it was such a tragedy😢 nobody in my community believes in China or the Chinese anymore

In the late nineties. My cousin is an engineer and had a company that did contracted projects for the oil rigs in Mexico. Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz. I was very young and couldn't give you any more specifics but I can tell you it was a lot of money

NEVER ever do business with Chinese entities without rock solid letters of credit, or performance bonds. If there is ANY way for them to not pay you, they won't.
The debt-traps that China has been snaring other countries in go deeper than we know. The conditions of these loans go way beyond just exorbitant interest.
well ultimately they cannot take them back and who cares what the chinese think they have been scamming the west for 25 years
USA has also a huuuuuge debt to China, you know that right?

Back when you guys (laowhy86 & serpentza) used to make videos in China about how much you loved being there and starting your families it was so exciting to think of China as a place that had really made progressive moves and I myself had considered going and checking it out. I remember there were lots of Chinese students that used to go to the local university here, but later around the same time the videos you guys were making became kind of scary at times, the Chinese student population disappeared. So sad what greatness Xi stopped China from achieving.

Perhaps there are no more Chinese students at foriegn universities. The positive is there are no more subversive Chinese ripping down people's free speech because of Chinese brainwashing.

This why I considered Li Keqiang the most dangerous Chinese leader. He understood economics, understood there were problems, and was grounded in reality. The same cannot be said for the rest of them.

Mean while in Finland, they build an gas pipe line between Finland and the Baltic states. Suddenly someone damaged the pipe line and also the underwater cables within Finland and Sweden: "The police can now confirm with certainty that the anchor in the ongoing sabotage investigation originated from the Chinese-flagged vessel Newnew Polar Bear"
China must walk very carefully, because we finns we see this as an act of war. Even we don't say it loudly, when they say: "Sabotage". It's haves an different meaning.
Well and then there is what happened at the Wuhan lab and all the chaos that caused. They have a lot to answer for

I agree the world needs accountability from the CCP over the virus. We must not forget the culpability of the WHO, Ecohealth alliance, and Dr. Fauci. They funded and created the circumstance that let this happen and then attempted to cover it up.
It really looks like China did that job for Russia, so that it's not a sabotage by Russia but just an accident - which could always happen...
You see it as an act of war because it bloody is. CCP has been doing this all over Asia, too. It’s incredible people have put up with this for so long.
I have watched our leaders sell out the workers of the US since the 1980's when i worked in San Francisco's garment district. Most of us lost our jobs when the sewing factors closed. I've refused, as much as I can, to buy from China since around 2004.
How can any US companies compete against china's wages? No US company can last long paying people $25/hour plus bennies. China's wages are around $1.25/hour. Ultimately, the working class that depend on low Walmart prices cannot afford to pay $25/pack of underwear when chinese made undies cost $9.95 at Walmart. So paying US workers hurts American workers who need to make their paychecks last and not paying union labor and union bloat.
China is now losing work to Viernam, Bangladesh, India, and other more efficient and stable countries. So they are experiencing the same cut throat competition they inflicted on the US.

I've been getting daily updates on China since about 2018 because I figured that as the second largest economy in the world, what happens there would probably affect me. In 2020, I realized covid would be a major issue about a month before most people in the west ever heard of it, and in 2022 as I watched Evergrande collapse, I told my friend who works as an executive in the Australian iron mining industry to get the hell out of dodge and walk away while they were still in the black. (they partially did, and recently told me they wish they had fully done so like I suggested, because not walking away fully cost them almost $1 million)
And all the news I've been seeing about China in 2023, there is only one word that comes to mind... Apogee, the highest point in an arc. With every new story, the more I am convinced that someone who is about 50 today will live to see the rise and fall of China in a single lifetime. Even if the CCP were to disappear tomorrow, their demographics and shoddy infrastructure has locked them into an inevitable collapse that will last decades at a minimum. Add in the global threats of climate change and AI, and frankly I just don't see China ever returning to growth and now simply wait for the day that India claims the title of "2nd largest economy in the world"... Which I imagine would be the greatest humiliation China will face short of losing a war to invade Taiwan and getting bodyslammed by the US in the process.
Climate change 😂
Why oh why do you trust anything Communist countries say . They lie, always have. sixty years that I have witnessed. The USSR was the past master at it. China growth rate 7.5 when the rest of the world was around 2 or 2.5. Utter rubbish China never managed that
India, (especially under Modi) is pretty self-sufficient and immune to economic sanctions, but they have their own issues including climate. It's hard to study India because you have to study it in parts that are sometimes independent of each other and sometimes integrated... in 12 dimensions.
On China, though, Matt made an interesting metaphor about China as a star that is imploding. The thing is that stars swell and expand outward and eat the inner planets before they collapse because there is nothing in the core to support it.
All National initiatives came from money raised by local governments. Local governments, to meet the needs of the National government, did schemes to raise money such as Development by Real Estate Developers such as Evergrande and Country Gardens. Twice per year, they raised money through development. This December: No credit and no developers.
The banks and the shadow banking system that depended on these schemes are doing their own schemes such as not allowing money to be withdrawn even for the simplest things... or, just stealing depositors' money. Finally, local governments are using illegal 'fines' ("You cut a cucumber the wrong way", "the tires on your truck are too muddy", "Your EMPTY truck is 22 tons over the limit", etc. I have terabytes of video with citations)

My issue with B.R.I.C.S is that they were pushing for a B.R.I.C.S form of currency, which to me, sounds like a wildly outlandish idea. So five countries, only three of which share a border would make their own money and expect the rest of the world to accept it? At this point in the game, currency only has value because we make it have value, no one is going to accept that form of currency and they'll be dealing with monopoly money at that point.

China has decided they want to take advantage of the Western-built post-WW2 business and political world system and western wealth to build up their influence, and then, having learned NOTHING, they want to break it down and make it more like their disfunctional selves. Unfortunately, much of the developing world has little experience with open markets, rule of law, and democracy, so the Chinese siren song resonates. The supposed "efficiency" of autocrats even attracts some political leaders in the US, (mostly in the Republican Party.)
The prospect of a world that morphs into the totalitarian, corrupt model of the autocracies is extremely depressing. I hope this generation does not ignore the lessons developed by blood sacrifice of the Greatest Generation.

I love that you and Winston have opened my eyes to the real China. Do you ever drop links to these Chinese propaganda videos so we can enjoy the comedy and desperation? LOVE your channel. I watch every video, it's fascinating!
they spread propaganda too..buddy...thats how they make a living
I used to live in China and it was a fascinating place. People were very nice. Then the govt started more control and shifted their propaganda to being anti western. The people are now suffering for it. I will not go back there. Sad.

Real China my ass lol
I'm Chinese, he's talking nonsense
Contemporary China, is for all intents and purposes, is 'governed' by another emperor just like from the bad old days before the Xinhai Revolution. As history has shown consistently, absolutist regimes rise and fall with the peccadillos of the guy in charge. All that is different from the dynastic period is how the emperor is chosen (rising through the ranks of the CCP) and how one becomes a bureaucrat (CCP membership instead of the Keju & holders of a Jinshi).
i love how you worked in references and comparisons to Taiwan! I'd love to see how inapposite Taiwan is in other ways. Like if mainland uses gutter oil, show examples of how Taiwanese vendors don't go anywhere near gutter oil, or that mainlanders treat their disabled people like trash whereas Taiwanese have great social benefits for disabled people, etc.
To be fair, not using gutter oil to cook is something to be expected and hoped for, not a sign you're deserving of praise. Still, there are a ton of stuff Taiwan does right, some better than other developed nations like the US and Europe.
WTH is "inapposite"?

"China doesn't make anything the world needs with its own innovations. It was the world's factory." You took the words out of my mouth! My husband and I have discussed this many times and I have said exactly this statement. I had a college professor who spent time in China and he told me the most striking thing was how so much of China was a straight up copy of things in the US. For example, the highway system is exactly the same right down to the signage. China doesn't create things, it duplicates them effectively.
If that’s the case then it’s kinda sad how much better the copy is than the “original”
@@rax1899Is it????
@@ease_flow You can see a very big difference in the subways of the US and China
I doubt they copied the USA's public transport systems. There were definitely better options out there in other countries they could copy. Though honestly, if something someone else is doing works better, why wouldn't you at least try to learn from it and update your own equivalent?

Another ignorant dude who knows next to nothing about things in China and only based on either biased western media or simply blatant lies from haters like these laowhy86 & serpentza.

Laowhy86, thank you for providing us information about China. As a teenager, I used to dream of obtaining my English degree and moving to China to teach English. Now, I'm stuck with my Bachelors degree in English Literature, double minor in creative writing and business-finance concentration. Still living in the USA.
You ain't stuck! Go live in China!
13:07 Exactly. I'd imagine TSMC would become a dead shell company if China took Taiwan. Hong Kong is just a recent and very devastating example.
Good point

Especially since mainland China would not be able to take over the TSMC supply chains.

We’re witnessing the complete collapse of an advanced national economy on a scale we’ve never seen before. Various third-world dictatorships have blown up their economies, but they had no impact on the world as a whole. China is the second largest economy in the world and is deeply coupled to almost every other country. And they’re not just having a recession, it’s a total economic collapse.
There’s no precedent for this, no one has any idea how it’s going to play out, but it’s going to be ugly.

The internal market of a country of this size of population should be huge but it’s obvious that the average person has very little money to spend so without manufacturing they are well and truly buggered.
White male made China strong to counter India's infouence in south east asia. White male knows india is future and chinese economy is ponzi scheme run by mad communist supported by my white male who is an angel
Argentinian here. Yeah 100%+ of inflation sucks so hard
Don’t worry about China’s economic woes. It looks more and more ominous for the US too. A recession is very likely by quarter two of next year for the US, according to US economists. Unemployment is going to rise exponentially. Be prepared.
As far as the chip technology is concerned that is one of the reasons why Taiwan is so important because we have shared a lot of our advanced technologies with Taiwan. As far as I know China can not reproduce the microtechnology of most of our modern chips but Taiwan has those capabilities already and even produces some of our military components. Thank you for this video very good information and I will take a closer look at that browser app because I am trying to not be cornered into buy crappie Chinese junk even though made so easily available because of Amazon which quickly delivers to my door. I want to support Taiwan rather than China.
It is extraordinary that for all the technological achievements of the US, China is now seen as being ahead in this field almost across the board. According to the results, this is a view endorsed by a majority of the public even in the most devout allies of the US, including Australia, Canada, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden.

copium bro, eventually China will be Top 1 and you will be crying hard
Rick was apparently just heard to exclaim "Wow!...So bad!"
Even subway wonderman looks deflated 😞
In manufacturing its quite bad because they've purchased the same staggering high quantity of raw materials with a fraction of the business. So shops are standing still when they're generally non-stop busy, and there are massive freak outs happening internally not knowing where to turn to next because outside sales generally never existed in China manufacturing, it wasn't ever needed.
I've heard they're collapsing for like 5 years I'll believe it when I i see it
Remember that an economy dying doesnt mean the country will. Take Iran and North Korea for example. If anything, it might make it easier for the CCP to fully turn it into a bigger North Korea. The only problem for them is that China is a very large center piece of most third world countries economies and if that completely goes under, so will these other nations eventually. Not to mention how much this will affect western economies as well.
China won't disappear...it's lasted in some form for thousands of years. The issue is 1) will the CCP promote war to retain power. 2) Will this cause an economic depression around Asia and the world and 3) Will this cause another tsunami of mass migration that will finally destroy the West culturally and economically.
@@reekinronald6776 Saying China has lasted in some form for thousands of years is like saying Rome has lasted to this day, you're technically not wrong, but the people and ideologies are wildly different between those groups, the only thing that lets people claim China has lasted that long is that its dynasties and rulers owned the same definitive plots of land, which even then that land has a different role today than it did 5 thousand years ago. Also "finally destroy the West culturally and economically." ? Do you think the West is so weak that getting more people would destroy it? How many people are we talking? If you suddenly teleported 400 million Chinese people into America then yes I'd say culturally we'd be a lot more shifted towards Chinese and Asian roots, but that's such a wild and obscene scenario.
the people who watch this channel have a elementary shool level understand of world history. everything has to be painted in a broad brush. either china is on the rise or it is hopelessly fucked, no in between for some reason...
@@ness6099It's feasible, as the l e f-t would support this cultural shift to a more authoritarian system, especially as they already hate the US led West anyways and love of country.
Honestly I’ve thought of China as a larger, less poverty stricken, more skilled at lying version of North Korea for awhile now.
Summary of China's economic future:
1. Property/construction was an unsustainable 30% of GDP. The big infrastructure projects are finished, residential construction is way overbuilt, and debt financing is restricted. Property/construction ranges from 10% to 15% of GDP throughout the developed world. Assuming China's ratio is forced down to 15%, that's a 15% loss of GDP.
2. Industries related to property/construction (including steel, transport, heavy equipment manufacturing, sales & leasing, and support services like uniforms/clothing & food) will also shrink. The assumption here is an additional 5% of GDP.
3. China's exports to Europe and America are down 12% and 16% respectively. Total exports were recently reported to be down 14%. Because exports contribute 40% of China's economy the export drop represents a 5% loss of GDP.
15% + 5% + 5% = 25% decline in GDP, same as America in the Great Depression.
There's a lot of other data supporting the China Depression thesis:
1. CCP has greatly reduced published economic metrics.
2. CCP is attempting to rig the Shanghai stock market by intimidating short sellers.
3. FDI is down.
4. Several major Western institutional investors are leaving.
5. Thousands of closed factories & many reports of factories moving to Vietnam, Thailand, India, and Mexico.
6. Age 16 to 24 unemployment officially reported at 21% is in reality 45%.
7. Blatant and pervasive age discrimination towards people over 35 years old.
8. Cash shortages at banks.
9. Provincial government running huge deficits and resorting to extreme measures for financing.
10. Bankruptcy of China's largest property developers.
11. Many thousands of closed shops and restaurants and empty shopping malls.
12. Major Western brands leaving eg Carrefour.
But how china gdp growth 5% almost than
I think Xi Jinping hoped all the unsustainable "time to pay up" downsides would happen outside of his lifetime, so he'd have some sort of false "legacy."
@@RG-iw4c It probably didn't grow 5% annually in the past couple years. The numbers coming from the Chinese government are incomplete, suspicious and not transparent and China is known for inflating their economy with real estate for example.
Most people aged 16 to 24 are still students. Why should this be included in the unemployment rate?
"Although widely regarded as the "powerhouse of manufacturing" or "the factory of the world", exports contribute only a comparatively small proportion of the Chinese economy, at just 18.5% in 2020. Of the world's 500 largest companies, 142 are headquartered in China."
Like... seriously. Directly from wikipedia.
Its a shame the common Chinese suffer
Im sorry, but its ridiculous that they are using chop sticks for the grapes😂😂😂
Is a weak and diminishing China better? I'm kinda scared of what they might do when their back is against the wall.
The back against the wall narative has been used so many times to justify violence and keep dictators in power.
China, when backed to the wall, will need to face it’s people, those people that the CCP has been defrauded for so long
Nah. Their military is "made in China." How good do you expect it to be? How bad has Russia's turned out to be?
China inevitably will slowly revert back to 1970s-early 1980s china. Back then china was all smiling and accommodating to even the smallest investors. I had a copy of their trade magazine from the early 80s. The products they were advertising in that magazine were paint brushes made from pig hair, tennis shoes with designs that looked like from the early 1970s, frying baskets made from galvanized chicken wire and bamboo, woks of different sizes and 10 more black and white ads for paint brushes made from pig hair. I can remember I felt sorry for them looking at their products they were desperately selling at the international market.

Chinese labor cost have increased 14 times with worker productivity increasing 100% in that same period. China is no longer the low cost manufacturer it once was. The CCP covering company loses is yet another expense that bankrupt the government. Just waiting for the first domino to fall and the rest will play itself out. Will be a very scary time. That’s why the US has record factory construction happening today.
China’s economic and demographic problems are bad and getting worse but it is always surprising how well decrepit systems can limp along with the odd uptick now and then.
The USSR was expected to fail soon for decades before people gave up and decided that we would have to learn to live with the USSR existing for another 70 years-only then did it fall. The “rise” and fall of the USSR and “rise” and fall of the Russian Federation can be seen as waves of ups and downs that occur as an empire (like the Russian empire) decays and stabilize then decay again over centuries. Like when the Roman Empire in the west fell and people thought the rise of the Byzantine empire was a restoration when it was just a temporary reprieve and part of the process of the end of the entire Roman Empire, so the Soviets and Russian Federation represent stages in a long decline and the Chinese Communist era represent a stage in the decline of the Chinese empire. But these declines can be long processes.
Countries like Cuba, Iran and North Korea manage to make imminent and active failure an ongoing status quo for decades despite people forecasting collapse within months, constantly. Failing systems often can be very successful at drawing out their failures, leaving people divided as to whether they will fail in months or if they are actually succeeded and growing.

I keep telling my Taiwanese wife to stop buying cheap Chinese crap... but she tells me that it is so cheap, with free shipping. & that opens up anther conversation about developing countries getting free shipping with the rest of the world paying for it. If I could only insist on buying only U.S. made goods, but they are hard to find. Even my favorite Pen, a U.S. made Parker, now all I find are U.K made junk. What happened to U.S. quality? With the 1/4ly report, the baby went out with that? When I was young, Made in America or Made in The U.S. of A. said something, quality; now it says junk. On the flip side, Made in Japan had said junk, but that had changed to Lasting Quality you can count on. Ford, Chrysler, GM, how to you compete with Toyota, Honda... ? you gave up... The Mustang, SUS's & Pickups are it. You quit, didn't you. My SUV is an MDX, & sure my wife drives an Accent, her first car was a GM, & broke with in hours of her first day driving it. She will NEVER buy any American car. Now, Made in America says Junk. What happened to The American Business? It is so sad.

The company that I work for has been importing from China for decades. We are now moving away and looking for manufacturing in places like Vietnam and Mexico. All because of China's actions and aggressive stance and treatment of their minority populations.
don't know are you so really care about the minorities in China or just want to make more money to escape the 20% of tariff sanction on made in China.
Basic common sense: if a company leaves you to do business in another country, it's because that country is better than yours...don't hire someone to act like it isn't the case.
For many months now I keep seeing videos saying how terribly china is doing, and how it's about to collapse. Yet China somehow continues to exist. Either those videos are wrong, or China is the most resilient country ever. I'm definitely not moving to China any time soon, but it's also probably not "worse than I thought".
