That is bad if they're not even buying mooncakes. Jeez, I remember first arriving in 2012 right before mid-autumn festival and the supermarkets were packed and I received mooncake after mooncake as a gift. When I left in 2020 during the pandemic before it was still always packed at mid-autumn. I guess I'll reach out to friends and see how bad things really are.
Who would buy Mooncake when dogs won't eat them to them able to kill ants/repel them to teeth to bugs findings in them to them being harder than a rock!!?
let me sum it up, rich chinese leave the country, wether poor or educated people cant find jobs, looming real estate bubble, citizens unhappy about their goverment, foreign investors withdrawing, EV market goin down, people cut down spending, manufacturing trending down, chinese stock market as well...im really curious for CCPs annual economic report.
the CCP doesn't care about food standards and inspections, the CCP doesn't care about manufacturing quality, the CCP doesn't care about construction standards, but the CCP does care what you think of the CCP and if you think bad thoughts about the CCP they shall be there to correct your incorrect thoughts.
that empty store in the first clip is wild - I've only ever seen a store as deserted at like 2am, and even then there's still some people there. classifying cities as "1st tier" or "4th tier" is really weird. does any other country do that? what do the mooncake vendors do with the extra stock? freeze them for next year? make mooncake hooch? composting?
I was given one this year as a gift. I look at bottom it says Made in China. I thank them. And threw it away later that day. Don't know what it's made of. Not taking a risk
All of these videos about the bad economic state of china shows me one thing: no one knows what to do during a bad economic time. This is not a collapse yet. Don't try to produce in abundance when you know that the people around you can't buy it.
Indeed. Simple supply and demand. So much waste with homeless people allegedly everywhere. We are supposed to believe e they are a world leader now? Hmmmm
MAybe the low Mooncake sales are because of the plethora of reports about so many of them being made with poisonous, or inedible, materials? I have seen many vids about this problem. I know I would not buy any after those reports.
Mooncakes are one of the worst food malinvestments possible. Nobody eats them, but billions are spent buying them. Imagine growing beef to sell, but nobody ate beef. Or raising pigs, but nobody eats pork. There is video online of dogs refusing to eat mooncakes. This is mal-investment. It is a gigantic waste of resources. Rather than wasting all this food, the food should be made in such a way that people want to eat it. All this food waste is happening in a country that cannot feed itself!!!!!
@@chainsawplayin If you think these things are hard, try hardtack. They are so hard and dry that there are examples from the US civil war surviving today that are still technically edible (meaning eating it won't make you sick).
I was in Bengbu, Anhui, China ( I have been visiting this city for the last seven years) during mid Autumn festival 2024. This city was very busy, there were lines of people at all the mooncake shops for several days before the actual holiday. On the holiday itself the mooncake shops were empty, there were no mooncakes left. Every restaurant we went to for the six days I was there were busy. Like everywhere in China the older shopping centers are struggling(10 years old) normally because a newer larger one was built across the road. I realize this situation varies from city to city. These people are like everyone else in the world, if they want a good quality product they go to a good quality shop.
Yeah, I was going to say, even back from 2012-2019, I could always find some supermarket somewhere at some time of the day with absolutely zero customers. So, it's not difficult to fake. The shops closed could just be certain portions of the city too. Chinese always want to go to the new shop, or the new store. That being said, it's pretty obvious as a whole China is not doing well right now.
Physical stores add the product prices, workers' wages, delivery costs, and so on, which makes the prices too high. It is better to buy the product online.
I live in China and people did not travel much,and yes,stores were fully stocked even online.Usually I buy early to avoid being told everything is sold out.Not this year😮😮😮
Times change. Tastes change. I remember when all Hostess items, Twinkies, Cupcakes, Fruit Pies, Snowballs, were all I thought about for a delicious snack
@@Games4Kidz7 lol, you've never seen the Chinese internet sites. Good luck. And, you are missing the point. Residential RE is already down the drain. Adding commercial RE into the downward spiral is suboptimal.
How about the people who got into debt to buy the store that's been rented? -screw them Then they will default in their debts and the bank will have to screw everyone else or collapse because of all the unpaid losns
Sorry I meant to say, they are not shopping on line they are just not shopping. We have a similar situation in the UK just not even close to as horrendous as China. Online sites are also experiencing a massive decline on sales.
They need to lower the price. I saw a box of mooncakes at my oriental market for $50. The price even reach more than $60 depending on the brand and the type of moon cakes. There are 4 cakes in the box. Its just a regural looking box. Who want to spend that kind of money for a very sweet desert.
Don't worry the GDP will still be 5% But yeah, so many things are not looking up in china. So many economical factors. In the west we tend to be quite open about that and say "Yeah the economy sucks" And it is something to see that the people low down in china also are like, "Yup this sucks, this economy is bad"
Chinese people can thank Winnie the Pooh for this bustling economy. Like Putler in Russia, Xi is absolutely out if his depth. Stumbling around and destroying more and more every passing day. Man, what an amazing leader China has 😂😂😂
If relationships were really important and mooncakes were important to maintaining those relationships, the government should be giving them away for free.
What's 1 yuan now, like 13 cents now? And people can't afford to pay a single yuan for a moon cake? Of course I just another video where they put out a bunch of moon cakes and got a bunch of dogs, and not one dog ate a single moon cake. They all passed.
And how ignorant are the people there because... well ok. in the US there are entire segments of newscasts dedicated to just predicting what the turnout will be for certain events and certain cities and for holidays and how much extra shopping there's going to be around each Christmas like those types of things are predicted months in advance and then there's continual updates up until literally like the day of they're still making updates. And they're most of the time accurate. the types of things that affect that are just known. so businesses won't buy extra stuff if they see these predictions and go " there's not going to be a ton of people going out to eat" or whatever.
I had a mooncake made by an actual Chinese woman and she made it in her own house for her daughter and then her daughter's friend so me and a few other people. And she made us all this food and it was amazing and she didn't really talk to us much for some reason in Chinese parents don't tend to talk to their kid's friends, they kind of act like they would be bothering us and it's like no this is this is the United States like we we are here basically to talk to you until you thank you 5 million times and your daughter can fuck off like we'll hang out with her because she invited us but like it's just like a thing that you focus on the people who own the house and like making sure they're not like bored and feel appreciated or whatever and I'm pretty sure this is like countrywide cuz I've lived in five states and it's been like that everywhere But anyway point is if the mooncakes are made for you buy an actual Chinese person then it's good but I can't imagine like just buying them like she didn't even act like that was something you could do
Even if there are people to buy, one will question are those fake Mooncake made out of chemical substitutes. As such, it could produce extremely cheap. Note, in ccp's china fake food is common especially in cheap market places and cheap restaurants.
Seeing china doing bad is good news for the rest of the world, so it depends on your perspective. Maybe you are a sensitive or very pessimistic person? Or chinese 😂
Just imagine how bad it really is with all the manipulation of data. You can track the china economy by looking at pollution. That's a better way to see what's really going on.
Everything is deteriorating.
Chinese made products 🇨🇳
Not even China will buy Made In China 😂😂😂😂
Will be even better for international brands.
Nobody will trust made in China as they grow more desperate and cut more corners in food products. 😈
That's actually true
Truth
Watch out for the warning on the bottom of many moon cake boxes sold in the US.
Yeah, it's made in China but the warning is in English only.

Do you want to buy a poison mooncake or the explosive one? 😁😆😅🤣😂This may be your last cake you eat on earth. 🤣🤣🤣
No mooncakes for me this year - scared of them.
that empty store in the first clip is wild - I've only ever seen a store as deserted at like 2am, and even then there's still some people there.
classifying cities as "1st tier" or "4th tier" is really weird. does any other country do that?
what do the mooncake vendors do with the extra stock? freeze them for next year? make mooncake hooch? composting?
People donate to charities and these days the majority shop online
First tier means it’s a high business area … it’s not seen as a disrespectful term
"Maybe it's because the kids are back in school..."
Oh wait, there are no kids.
Thanks CCP.
There are almost more children under the age of 14 years old in China than the population of the USA
I was given one this year as a gift. I look at bottom it says Made in China. I thank them. And threw it away later that day. Don't know what it's made of. Not taking a risk

Things will get better under your great leader Xi Jinping.
Is it worth risking your health by eating 1-yuan mooncakes?
for chinklets, yes.

In the country side are the farmers going broke? Or what happens out there?
How much is a yuan, enough to buy one beer in China? Or a cup of tea?
Chinese economy in free fall
Chinese consumer lost confidence in their financial future. They feel grim future instinctively. So they save up money instead of spending it.
It's OK, sell it next yr or within next decade. They last forever.
Like McDonald’s 😂

People are giving different gifts now and taking friends out instead of
Maybe China will learn to respect its neighbors now. No more bullying!! Money just made you arrogant towards SCS neighbors!!!
China should not follow the american bully tactics at the end of the day both loose everything.
How Long can this bubble hold on to such madness? Its like we live in different realities in comparison to this folks 💀
