      The people are only three meals away from rebelion. Maybe 6, if they are made of sterner material. Pretty much holds true in any country. When the ammount of hungry/cold/destitute people reach a critical mass, they will, even unconciously, collectively revolt.

    I am from a third-tier city in China. I was born in a rural area. The local per capita income is very low. Without the help of my parents, I cannot afford a house and a car, and it may take 10 to 20 years to repay the loan.

All guests were suddenly escorted onto a coach and whisked off to the countryside. A week later they returned to the same hotel and all the staff had been replaced. Everyone. None of the new staff had any idea of what had happened a week earlier.

    Hawaii was starting to get riddled by massive multi-unit and multi-story homes developed by Chinese investors that pushed beyond zoning limits, and took up every inch of a lot. These homes were abhorrent and were designed basically as rental mills, inflating real estate market prices, blocking precious views of the beaches and city for other neighbors, completely defacing middle-class neighborhoods with ugly crackerbox homes. The local community had enough and pushed for enforcement of zoning laws causing many of these projects to halt in their tracks, and making the investors sell off their properties or pay huge fines. They were like pest infesting a beautiful hibiscus flower 🌺.

Twice the population of the US ie 800 million has been lifted out of poverty! How much is the poverty rate of his own country? Which country is more disappointing? At least he shows that China isn’t as controlled as the US. People are normal & they still have rooms to protest. In some countries, people can’t even gather together. For example - the Capitol riot takes only a few days whereas protesters in Tiananmen and Hong Kong had months to voice out before they were suppressed

    When mentioning the property buying abroad by corrupt and criminal Chinese, I recall the onslaught of buyers from China in Australia who snapped up so much premium properties, outbidding everyone else. It caused huge resentment from local Australians and got to a point it was almost pointless going to auctions at all. The only Australians smiling were the greedy real estate agents.
    To think there are now so many of these properties, often sitting empty that are the spoils of massive amounts of laundered money.

    I am currently here in Shanghai. We were locked down for 60 days. It’s hard to imagine how an economy could recover from that. This video was good. I would add that China also has a serious birth rate and aging population problem as well, which is why they increased they have increased the amount of children people can have twice now in the last five years. There is also the double reduction policy, which I guess is intended to reduce stress on parents and children as well as a decreased financial burden. The idea is that will free up married couples to have more children. However, it also really acts like way to minimize outside information and increase the amount of propaganda to children.

I hope the Chinese people find a way to communicate and organize to start a cultural and political change, though I recognize the challenges are many due to governmental grip and misdirection. Thinking it's a local problem is part of the problem.

In 2022 he and his wife are millionaires that own their own farming company import and export and they are both US citizens.

    People stopped paying the mortgage when they found their apartment was falling apart before they moved in. Often concrete was inconsistent and weak causing holes to develop in floors and ceilings. The builders were too busy building new developments to make repairs. Would you pay mortgage on a unit that is likely to be condemned or you need to place buckets to catch rain water or risk injury with foot falling through floor. Many high rise had to be totally demolished, and confidence in these investments has gone south. In some cases corruption and graft accounted for 30% of the costs and corners were cut to make up for those costs. The cover-up of this means complaints will not be processed and trust is lost.
