@@JUSTFORCAUSE I don't understand what you mean? It is either cheap labor from hundreds of millions of young youthful africans, or leave the jobs to China forever. Even if China increases the price of labor and products they sell to the globe or robotics will take the place of cheap labor.
It’s still truly impressive how China developed from an agricultural economy to a modern country in just 30 years. Just the idea of feeding, housing and employing over 1.4 billion people boggles the mind.
this is truly incredible thing, and only possible in socialist/communist countries, in capitalist countries even today so many people are jobless, homeless and declining in many areas. similar thing happened to ussr in early/mid 20th century, from nothing to super power in few decades
The problem is though is there comes a cost of having such dramatic urbanization in such a short time. The bad thing to is that culturally they have disregarded jobs such as Agriculture so now there is ahsortage on locally source produce because either the land was developed or the young don't want to do those jobs because culturally its taboo because it's a sign of being poor but you need all these different types of industries to keep your economy flexible.
As a Chinese person, I have to say your analysis gave me further insights into what i already know. The information and footages contained are also very relevant and timely 👍🏼🤓😎
Actually, it's really difficult to sustain a strong economy for more than 50 years. China is already hitting that threshold since Deng Xiaoping era in the 70's, but, I think China will ride it through and remained strong, although won't grow very fast and healthy as before. I think another country that has done well the past 100 years is USA and still doing well, that's why they are both close rivals now. I see both of these countries influence, economic prowess will continue to be very strong at least until 2040.
As a person who used to live and work in China for 3yrs (2016-2019) I absolutely agree. I was already aware of most of these facts, but it was very eloquently explained.
It is cool to know that there is some 27 year old in China that lives a completely different life than mine on the other side of the world, but they deal with the same problems.
1:06 - 1:13 That's happening in most countries now. Especially In east Asia and the U.S. I doubt I'll ever have a family of my own. It just doesn't seem possible or worth it.

Yeah no way it's gonna collapse in near future. They already built infrastructure that will promote internal business, besides that they already made world dependent on them by becoming world factory.
Something the video entirely misses is that China is still a developing country, not a developed one. That is big in relation to how it is deading with its issues.
It wasn't even developing but more agriculatrian. They lied and steal tech. A country or society like that would be doom for lack of innovation, other than how to steal better. The Chinese is like the Ferengi of Star Trek. Ferengi had one advantage.... no one knows where they live. China is one of the largest land mass and an easy target.
@Havokx18 That's not how economics work, the USSR also had a big economy, but it still remain quite poor. Most of China is very poor, but poverty in china is consider under 1.50 dollars a day, or something like that, which is lower than the world standard. I can see that someone is completely ignorant about economics when they say dumb shit like what you just mentioned. Most Chinese people are very poor, the country has a GDP per capita as te average argentinian, nothing to brag about.

I've been watching your series and it's been pretty interesting. I have a degree in economics and I learned how economic growth isn't a zero-sum game, it was a matter of right models and correct institutions, letting the market do its magic. But, nowadays, I'm really doubting if pursuing economics was the right call, because, in the development is impossible without exploitation. Creative destruction only works if the disadvantage bears the "destruction" while the privileged absorbs the "creative". The fact we rely in creative destruction to make humanity grow means that if it stops expanding humanity will decline and expire. Technological leaps don't really solve the fundamental problem of human nature.
The economic problem is satisfying the unlimited wants of humanity with the limited productivity. Perhaps development of the supply side has been very impressive but at the cost of the poor. An alternative solution may be to reduce the demand side. Lying flat and letting it rot may be a viable economic doctrine to improve the demand side. Who says that we need to develop supply exponentially forever?
@@davidyang102 that's true as well. Ever ending supply is one big problem that need to be solved but the lying flat theory fails as well as it would eliminate jobs during the downturn leading to bad economic inflow for people who depend on these jobs.
thats where socialism and communism steps in, whether u like it or not, it can fix these issues. Obviously not socialism like China, cause thats hardly socialist from an economic standpoint at least.
@@Alex-sr9pq it would be great if there were more successful socialist or communist countries that gave their citizens a good life. unfortunately communism has a really bad record and socialism has Europe which is slowly decaying. I'm not saying these methods don't work in theory, but it hasn't worked in practise yet.
I read a news article that was talking about giving citizens up to a 80 year mortgage yet facing a massive economic instability as is our economic instability here in America. Now as Mortgage goes here in America it's a complete mess
Overall great Video. As an Expat living in China, I've actually seen a different side of it and this is my take on the issue. *Housing crisis, YES. As of developers over speculated on the continuous rise in prices. I totally agree that this is a major problem when the economy and as much as 1/5th of it is dependent on it. But let's bear in mind that we are talking about a developing country. *Housing costs? Unless you decide to live in the city center, like Shanghai or Guangzhou or maybe an exclusive private Fenced and guarded areas the overall prices are fairly low, just move further away from the CBD and the prices drop. *1 child policy and preference of baby boys has had a devastating effect. Now the government is encouraging its citizens to have more babies. Male to female ratio is way off too and some unfortunate ones resort to buying brides from other Asian countries. Also the expectation before wedding put pressure on young couples, such as the Groom needs to have his own house and so on, otherwise the brides family might outright refuse to let their daughter into this marriage. *Salaries are lower then in Western hemisphere but it's a wrong comparison as the cost of living is way cheaper too. *Education. I've seen it also in many European countries, I could claim that it's a world wide problem. Young adults after getting their degrees think that after graduation their life is set. Sorry kids, it doesn't work like that, to land a good job you actually have to put some effort into it, earn it. I've seen old retired guys and women here to hard manual work while their College/University graduated grandkids sit at home and play video games. They don't want to work in these jobs, they'd rather be a delivery guys ... easy work, no hard labour. The question remains, who's going to do these job say 10, 20 years from now? *Purchasing your first home. Same thing again, worldwide problem for anyone under the age of 45. I'm no exception to this, sadly. But it hasn't stopped me from from living in Nice places. Owning my own home that's still a dream though, maybe one day ... As a developing country China has yet to undergo many hurdles the West has gone through. I'm not going to bash it or start saying that the west is bad, all countries have their pros and cons. I know that people in the US in particular will start saying...Oh no, China is this Communist Utopia Jada Jada Jada... Well sure the governmental structure might be different to yours but the people are just people who want to live their lives in peace, no different from say average Joe from Colorado (by the way, I loved that place when I visited it a decade ago) I've seen many great developments in this beautiful country and there's still many things that ought to be improved, only time will tell. Don't make up your mind by watching your mainstream or even alternative new channels, it's all tailored by your governments to their citizens consumption. Don't even take my word for it, as it's my experience. You want to see a country any one in that matter, go there, meet the locals, see it for yourself and then make up your mind about it. Our eyes are windows to our world. A good advice to anyone whether in China or elsewhere around our Blue planet. If you want to improve your way of life, start by improving yourself. Don't sit on your Uni degree and wait, do something about it because No-one else will do it for you.
So you can't have an opinion about a country's economy unless you've been to that country? You don't have to actually go to China to know the economy is not in great shape.
I fully agree with this excellent video...No economy is ever too big to fail. The world will stop lending or selling unless you the equivalent in Gold. Will you work for free? Of course not. You need wages but if your wages are in a collapsing currency, will you still work or will you flee? Whether it is USA, Germany, UK or China, they all have to face the challenges.
It would be interesting if you make a video about countries who haven't got out of the third world country list yet even after a century of independence - like the Philippines.
@@mukhademonyo6449 you misread the sentence. I said countries who haven’t got out of the third world country list yet, meaning they’re still in the list.

Every country and its economy has got certain challenges. No-one is without problems. However, one must mind it's way and not mess with others rather than focusing on their own lives. That's what all superpowers do.
@@TheHolySpiritISgreat They always just print money like the Fed. But instead they are going for a controlled deflating of the bubble. It's quite an experiment.
@@TheHolySpiritISgreat No, it was possible to buy the whole of America before the housing bubble in Tokyo, Japan. And now, if you add up the real estate bubble in China's entire first- and second-tier cities, you won't be able to buy the entire United States.
Good video, a few gray areas missed , the eduction system in urban areas for FUTURE generations, appears very successful, it would be interesting to see if this has filtered into rural areas where uneducated Human Resources are returning as the construction jobs in urban areas are drying up and low repetitive manufacturing jobs are disbursed amongst other countries. Focus on rural regeneration is key, with equal focus on educating while rebuilding the rural sectors. It is the “ GAP “ that is the challenge it takes about 40+ years to bring in the new and out with the the old, and there is likely still 30 years on this time lapse, so filling the gap is key, and while better housing stock, regional employment,while re skilling is very doable, it will be interesting to see if the transition takes place, if China economy is strong the global economy will be better for it, as most countries are going through challenges of their own maybe different dynamics but a strong global economy hurts less then a weak and distracted one.
Far from perfect. It is a HUMAN society, bound to include defects and mistakes... Being a STATE controlled economy and given its millennial history of ups and downs and capacity to learn from so many mistakes, I believe they will correct most of current ones...
The problem with China is that they'll have to admit they're wrong and give up power, they'd also have to Revive an industry that's moving tech to Japan and South Korea and mass production to Asean and India.
As a Chinese, I wants to tell you the Chinese problem is much more serious than you ever thought. You have no idea about Chinese people's respect for authority and money. Chinese people can never except from being judged according to wealth ,social status.When I was in junior school,our teacher huiliate one student's mother in front of all of us. He said that mother lives a poor life is because of her indolence on study and her son will lives sucking life like her for same reason. Also, he frequently beats students up and even caused permanent damage to a girl's face once. But,nobody dares to report his assaults ,because he is a teacher of ''rocket class''--the class with high enrollment quota.No parents wants their children lossing this way climbing to higher social ladder,then they pretend anything is not happend. Can't you imagine,he is just a teacher? Those simialr silence and indulgence to those with power result in extreme eagers to climb social ladder but also hates between people. Chinese are always natrually hostile to those better off than the and also humiliate those worse off than them.Enormous pressure has been on youngsters shoulders,and they literally are lying flat and unwilling to marry ever.
@@Klavier322 social credit will help the elderly population. Since China has a massive eating population, they are in need of social credits to monitor the elderly and examine and check out their health. At the end of the day social credit is not as bad as people think, if China had a young population then social credit would be terrible. But China does not have immigrants, instead they would rather have surveillance cameras and other than that medical devices and etc etc. Social credits or African immigrants to take care of the 600 million elderly.
Anytime there’s ever the slightest implication that China isn’t 100% perfect, there’s always a load of whataboutism people saying “well America this and that”, defence mechanisms of bruised fragile egos on full display
You're incredibly ignorant if you think China isn't dealing with huge debt and a banking crisis. I'm not sure why you're talking about the US anyway because this is a video about China's economy not America's.
Why don't you make dark side of western countries? Why your contents were ony dark side of Asian countries ? How about your country? It's really annoying me.
On the contrary, Chinese government were aware of the systematic problems of its economic development model years ago. The real estate bubble is the result of the problems, not the root cause of a crisis described in this video. They had plans to reform the economic model but had to postpone due to global financial crisis in 2008, followed by European debt crisis in 2012. China had to continue relying on the real estate sector to boost its economy. The reform resumed in 2015 but the accumulated problems had got much worse over the years. They had to do it gradually. In 2018, Trump started a trade war and in 2019 there came covid. Therefore the reform progress is really slow. But this time China have determined to solve the problems. The government put heaps of controls to regulate the real estate market. We must know this so called crisis today is a result of a reform planned for years. Not the same as the real estate bubble in the US back in 2008.
@@MrSky10101 Reasoning works better than labelling, so please don't spread the toxic culture commonly found in Chinese social network to the world or make it worse.
Wrong! Who made this mess in the first place? The greedy Chinese government, aka CCP, single-handedly blew up this enormous bubble. Now you are telling me, THEY are gonna fix the problem completely caused by themselves? As everyone knows, CCP is the only landowner and the only land supplier of China. You need land to build houses, right? Guess what, I will BORROW land to you, but you need to pay me, a lot - whatever I want! Of course they knew such kind of BUSINESS wasn't sustainable, of course they knew it wouldn't end well, from the very beginning! Yet how could they resist the temptation to make tons of money for nothing?
I mean, china is kinda a real estate Ponzi scheme tho. Just like america in 2006 (or 2022 but that’s a different story) Chinese buy up properties, sit on them for a few years and resell at huge profits. 1/3 of their economy is in the realty pyramid scheme and similar to the US in the mid 2000s (or the covid era) you can get really outta whack mortgages that don’t align anywhere near your income along with developers just slapping the things together (even more poorly built then the 2020-2022 American realty bubble homes). I mean hell Chinese homes are falling apart after 3-5 years. At least the crappier built American homes just have non right angled walls and poor insulation
This comes just as India is surpassing China in population too! By the time millennials are elders, we might be relying on robots for our care because the world population has peaked by then. Whatever happens in China next could be a repeating event in many large countries around the world.
@@emmawang1999 In terms of quality India's average age is fairly young compared to China and thus working potential is more. And such data for 'fairly educated' doesn't exists, only amount of skilled workforce matters, so don't make statements that don't make any sense.
Good quality vedios. Very impressive. I'm quite impressed by your insight of Hu Kou system in China. I think the desire for people to move to bigger urban cities and own their house is the major motivation for Chinese people to work hard in the past dacades. However in recent years, the young generations start to realize the impossibilty of owning houses in tier-1 cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, they are more willing to rent (the gross rental yield is not very high in China). This shortage of housing demand are pushing down the housing price. And you are right, the housing bubble is problematic in China and one of the biggest property developers (Evergrande Group) is facing bankruptcy.
I think your overworking point is important. I will also add cost of living. As earlier if a person worked more he would buy house,car etc more fast but now it will take many years no matter how much you work thus overworked body with high cost of living will be disastrous for future
Cumulatively, car sales in China, from January to April 2024, reached 6.3 million units, reflecting a 5.5% YoY increase. The production side has shown even more robust growth, with a commendable 9.0% YoY increase, amassing 7.6 million units over the same period.
I enjoy your videos and main reason is you bring up some balanced view that does not contain politically motivated agenda on either side. Please do one on dark side of US as our crap smells just as much as other countries. US is on track on demise of any other empires that have existed in the history of mankind based on common symptoms.
While America does have problems, they are nothing serious as this. The main problem in China stems from economic issues, whilst its social issues in the U.S. Surprisingly, social issues and political division can easily be fixed as opposed to catastrophic economic issues that China is currently experiencing.
@@sxrkar_usa The key here is how the Chinese fix problems. Whereas the US uses broad measures to fix problems like interest rate cuts, the Chinese can fix problems on case by case, family by family level. As such, they can be much more targeted in their response. This is why you have been hearing about their collapse for twenty years, but yet they never seem to collapse and instead show growth YOY.
I'll make a 10k dollar wager with anyone. All these youtubers are trying to be the next sage of economics and finance by predicting the Chinese economic collapse due to failures in the housing market and culture. None of them understands any of the fundamentals that the Chinese system is built on and why it won't fail. Disagree with me? Think I'm some Chinese bot? Then take me up on my wager. Watch this video again. Then watch the dozens others just like it. They all use the same stock footage of isolated incidences as if it's some country wide epidemic plaguing the country. Any brave gamblers out there? I will be happy taking your money. We can decide a time frame and play it like shorting a stock.
Another sad reality is China's one child policy. Read a book on this written by a Chinese American female news reporter who traveled to her ancestral home and spoke to people. They felt the dissonance of a one male who has to take care of his aging parents all by himself, there aren't enough women to marry, etc. Also found a vid produced by BBC about the one child policy and there would be women doctors in villages who would monitor the women residents as to how many times she became pregant, when they missed their periods and how many these women doctors performed abortions.
It’s interesting but you forgot to mention about the massive amount of foreign investments and business partnerships that China is expanding around the world. China is also the biggest trading partner of more than half of the countries on earth. And of course, US exports ideologies and wars, meanwhile China exports consumer goods.
China also exports police stations to other countries because the CCP needs to oppressive its citizens even when they're not in China. There's nothing special about the Chinese economy. It's just like any other middle income country and that's an odd thing to brag about.
i would say that japan will slowly move on with new reforms also after covid more foreigners enter japan and people also slowly move to countryside while korea is still falling off
USA also faces an unemployment crisis. To be more accurate, it's an *underemployment* crisis. While USA has relatively low unemployment, many jobs are very low-wage and do not provide a "living wage." So many Americans are very unhappy.
You didn't even mention the serious demographics problem, the fleeing of wealthy people to other countries and western businesses leaving. At the same time new western businesses are no longer coming to china for cheap labor. India, Vietnam, Indonesia, even the US (due to productivity and automation) are cheaper. China will no longer be a unified country by the end of the decade.
they made transition from low to mid and high income job atm . the demographic is part of it , too much people for cheap labor labor wont do it in the future . "China will no longer be a unified country by the end of the decade" why do you guys love to see other people split up ?

The IMF left unchanged its forecast for China's 2024 growth to fall to 4.6% from 5.2% in 2023, with a further drop to 4.1% for 2025. But it warned that the lack of a comprehensive restructuring package for the country's troubled property sector could prolong a downturn in domestic demand and worsen China's outlook
You missed the investment aspect of the housing market. Given the high rate of scams, real estate was considered the safest place to keep your money, especially because the housing market had never crashed, so no matter how Terri me the property was, you would turn a profit. Home ownership is also considered a prerequisite for marriage. This is part of what allowed the flourishing of the tofu dreg construction and ghost cities.
Asia's story is always on repeat. From incestuous companies in Japan to Chaebols in South Korea to China's CCP destroying the economy for fear of losing control. It appears they all have the same trend. That is, not allowing the proper free market systems to weed out the bigger failing companies or how structures of control either out of a rigid Cultural structure perspective or from a rigid government perspective. These factors prevent them from properly moving these economies forward.
Jp Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon: we may be headed something worse than recession....We are living in the early stage of economic impacts of superpower rivalry.
This is something that some of us saw coming. I lived in China for close to 12yrs and still in and out till now. I first lived in Handan a small city near Beijing when I was teaching english, then moved to Gz the 3rd largest city in China. I like it a lot there, thou nowadays I prefer to stay in 3-tier cities not the big ones like BJ, SH, Gz & Sz which are too crowded. You can clearly see the kind of pressure the society goes through. The cost of living has skyrocketed and has forced some factories to move operations to cheaper countries like Vietnam, Laos etc. Owning an apartment reached another level and young people have a lot of pressure, studying too hard to get high grades, job hunting, then marriage in itself is another one. It gets difficult if you don't have a good job, business or own an apartment. Then there's a new class of ladies who have lots of money and don't wanna get married coz it's hard to get men of their class/ status and by the time they want to settle down it's a little late. I actually see life going back to the countryside, where the pressure is less.
Your analysis of China’s economy is up to points, but you did not mention the cost of official corruption that has drained the economy, some estimated to be 25% of GDP.
I am seriously not surprised what is happening to the Chinese economy. Even when China was "booming" you could see not all was not right; it just required a bit of investigation.
At least China does not provoke wars globally, helps other countries with their BRI projects, carry out regime changes.......but helps its people out of poverty. A good tree produces good fruits.

Bali now owned by China 😂
Ahh yes Bali is now rightful Chinese territory since some Chinese fisherman visited there in 2000 BC or something
Morale of the story: There is always a dark side for each country in the world
They're saying that China is collapsing every year tbh and most people don't understand the way China's system is structured.
i wear i heard these claims that china will fail and collapse for few decades now... but as we look at statistics they are climbing up and up, now becoming new superpower, leading world in so many tech and megaprojects thats its not even funny anymore, total dominance in many fields. this aging populations is problem in most countries today, and corruption etc are even higher in other countries.
Yeah no way it's gonna collapse in near future. They already built infrastructure that will promote internal business, besides that they already made world dependent on them by becoming world factory.
Something the video entirely misses is that China is still a developing country, not a developed one. That is big in relation to how it is deading with its issues.
It wasn't even developing but more agriculatrian. They lied and steal tech. A country or society like that would be doom for lack of innovation, other than how to steal better. The Chinese is like the Ferengi of Star Trek. Ferengi had one advantage.... no one knows where they live. China is one of the largest land mass and an easy target.
@Havokx18 That's not how economics work, the USSR also had a big economy, but it still remain quite poor. Most of China is very poor, but poverty in china is consider under 1.50 dollars a day, or something like that, which is lower than the world standard. I can see that someone is completely ignorant about economics when they say dumb shit like what you just mentioned. Most Chinese people are very poor, the country has a GDP per capita as te average argentinian, nothing to brag about.

U r wrong. China is taking over
I've been watching your series and it's been pretty interesting. I have a degree in economics and I learned how economic growth isn't a zero-sum game, it was a matter of right models and correct institutions, letting the market do its magic. But, nowadays, I'm really doubting if pursuing economics was the right call, because, in the development is impossible without exploitation. Creative destruction only works if the disadvantage bears the "destruction" while the privileged absorbs the "creative". The fact we rely in creative destruction to make humanity grow means that if it stops expanding humanity will decline and expire. Technological leaps don't really solve the fundamental problem of human nature.
Very true, so what is the solution my friend?
The economic problem is satisfying the unlimited wants of humanity with the limited productivity. Perhaps development of the supply side has been very impressive but at the cost of the poor. An alternative solution may be to reduce the demand side. Lying flat and letting it rot may be a viable economic doctrine to improve the demand side. Who says that we need to develop supply exponentially forever?
@@davidyang102 that's true as well. Ever ending supply is one big problem that need to be solved but the lying flat theory fails as well as it would eliminate jobs during the downturn leading to bad economic inflow for people who depend on these jobs.
thats where socialism and communism steps in, whether u like it or not, it can fix these issues. Obviously not socialism like China, cause thats hardly socialist from an economic standpoint at least.
@@Alex-sr9pq it would be great if there were more successful socialist or communist countries that gave their citizens a good life. unfortunately communism has a really bad record and socialism has Europe which is slowly decaying. I'm not saying these methods don't work in theory, but it hasn't worked in practise yet.
I'm loving this series. Please continue with Singapore, UAE, Israel also in Asia. From India.
I read a news article that was talking about giving citizens up to a 80 year mortgage yet facing a massive economic instability as is our economic instability here in America. Now as Mortgage goes here in America it's a complete mess
Overall great Video.
As an Expat living in China, I've actually seen a different side of it and this is my take on the issue.
*Housing crisis, YES. As of developers over speculated on the continuous rise in prices. I totally agree that this is a major problem when the economy and as much as 1/5th of it is dependent on it. But let's bear in mind that we are talking about a developing country.
*Housing costs? Unless you decide to live in the city center, like Shanghai or Guangzhou or maybe an exclusive private Fenced and guarded areas the overall prices are fairly low, just move further away from the CBD and the prices drop.
*1 child policy and preference of baby boys has had a devastating effect. Now the government is encouraging its citizens to have more babies. Male to female ratio is way off too and some unfortunate ones resort to buying brides from other Asian countries. Also the expectation before wedding put pressure on young couples, such as the Groom needs to have his own house and so on, otherwise the brides family might outright refuse to let their daughter into this marriage.
*Salaries are lower then in Western hemisphere but it's a wrong comparison as the cost of living is way cheaper too.
*Education. I've seen it also in many European countries, I could claim that it's a world wide problem. Young adults after getting their degrees think that after graduation their life is set. Sorry kids, it doesn't work like that, to land a good job you actually have to put some effort into it, earn it.
I've seen old retired guys and women here to hard manual work while their College/University graduated grandkids sit at home and play video games. They don't want to work in these jobs, they'd rather be a delivery guys ... easy work, no hard labour. The question remains, who's going to do these job say 10, 20 years from now?
*Purchasing your first home. Same thing again, worldwide problem for anyone under the age of 45. I'm no exception to this, sadly. But it hasn't stopped me from from living in Nice places. Owning my own home that's still a dream though, maybe one day ...
As a developing country China has yet to undergo many hurdles the West has gone through. I'm not going to bash it or start saying that the west is bad, all countries have their pros and cons.
I know that people in the US in particular will start saying...Oh no, China is this Communist Utopia Jada Jada Jada... Well sure the governmental structure might be different to yours but the people are just people who want to live their lives in peace, no different from say average Joe from Colorado (by the way, I loved that place when I visited it a decade ago)
I've seen many great developments in this beautiful country and there's still many things that ought to be improved, only time will tell.
Don't make up your mind by watching your mainstream or even alternative new channels, it's all tailored by your governments to their citizens consumption. Don't even take my word for it, as it's my experience.
You want to see a country any one in that matter, go there, meet the locals, see it for yourself and then make up your mind about it.
Our eyes are windows to our world.
A good advice to anyone whether in China or elsewhere around our Blue planet. If you want to improve your way of life, start by improving yourself. Don't sit on your Uni degree and wait, do something about it because No-one else will do it for you.
Great and organised point of view, hats off!
So you can't have an opinion about a country's economy unless you've been to that country? You don't have to actually go to China to know the economy is not in great shape.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the 25-30% GDP number also includes residential real estate investment rather than just real estate development.
Wrong only 12% is contributed to GDP growth not the entire GDP 😂
I fully agree with this excellent video...No economy is ever too big to fail. The world will stop lending or selling unless you the equivalent in Gold. Will you work for free? Of course not. You need wages but if your wages are in a collapsing currency, will you still work or will you flee?
Whether it is USA, Germany, UK or China, they all have to face the challenges.

Every country and its economy has got certain challenges. No-one is without problems. However, one must mind it's way and not mess with others rather than focusing on their own lives. That's what all superpowers do.
China's crash is different, even worse than 1990 Japan.
@@TheHolySpiritISgreat They always just print money like the Fed. But instead they are going for a controlled deflating of the bubble. It's quite an experiment.
Ok show me a superpower nation in history that only minded their own business and never gets involved with other countries
What a pointless statement
@@TheHolySpiritISgreat No, it was possible to buy the whole of America before the housing bubble in Tokyo, Japan. And now, if you add up the real estate bubble in China's entire first- and second-tier cities, you won't be able to buy the entire United States.
Good video, a few gray areas missed , the eduction system in urban areas for FUTURE generations, appears very successful, it would be interesting to see if this has filtered into rural areas where uneducated Human Resources are returning as the construction jobs in urban areas are drying up and low repetitive manufacturing jobs are disbursed amongst other countries. Focus on rural regeneration is key, with equal focus on educating while rebuilding the rural sectors. It is the “ GAP “ that is the challenge it takes about 40+ years to bring in the new and out with the the old, and there is likely still 30 years on this time lapse, so filling the gap is key, and while better housing stock, regional employment,while re skilling is very doable, it will be interesting to see if the transition takes place, if China economy is strong the global economy will be better for it, as most countries are going through challenges of their own maybe different dynamics but a strong global economy hurts less then a weak and distracted one.

China has been divided longer than it was unified under one authority. I think this is the start of a secession movement in China
The problem with China is that they'll have to admit they're wrong and give up power, they'd also have to Revive an industry that's moving tech to Japan and South Korea and mass production to Asean and India.
+ social credit
As a Chinese, I wants to tell you the Chinese problem is much more serious than you ever thought. You have no idea about Chinese people's respect for authority and money. Chinese people can never except from being judged according to wealth ,social status.When I was in junior school,our teacher huiliate one student's mother in front of all of us. He said that mother lives a poor life is because of her indolence on study and her son will lives sucking life like her for same reason. Also, he frequently beats students up and even caused permanent damage to a girl's face once. But,nobody dares to report his assaults ,because he is a teacher of ''rocket class''--the class with high enrollment quota.No parents wants their children lossing this way climbing to higher social ladder,then they pretend anything is not happend. Can't you imagine,he is just a teacher? Those simialr silence and indulgence to those with power result in extreme eagers to climb social ladder but also hates between people. Chinese are always natrually hostile to those better off than the and also humiliate those worse off than them.Enormous pressure has been on youngsters shoulders,and they literally are lying flat and unwilling to marry ever.
@@Klavier322 social credit will help the elderly population. Since China has a massive eating population, they are in need of social credits to monitor the elderly and examine and check out their health. At the end of the day social credit is not as bad as people think, if China had a young population then social credit would be terrible. But China does not have immigrants, instead they would rather have surveillance cameras and other than that medical devices and etc etc.
Social credits or African immigrants to take care of the 600 million elderly.
USA is currently facing a *huge* debt and banking crisis. China isn't.
Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank are just the beginning.
Anytime there’s ever the slightest implication that China isn’t 100% perfect, there’s always a load of whataboutism people saying “well America this and that”, defence mechanisms of bruised fragile egos on full display
You're incredibly ignorant if you think China isn't dealing with huge debt and a banking crisis.
I'm not sure why you're talking about the US anyway because this is a video about China's economy not America's.
The Chinese. A great bunch of lads.
Why don't you make dark side of western countries?
Why your contents were ony dark side of Asian countries ?
How about your country?
It's really annoying me.
The "lying flat" movement is highly exaggerated. It's a relatively small movement with no significant social or economic impact.
On the contrary, Chinese government were aware of the systematic problems of its economic development model years ago. The real estate bubble is the result of the problems, not the root cause of a crisis described in this video. They had plans to reform the economic model but had to postpone due to global financial crisis in 2008, followed by European debt crisis in 2012. China had to continue relying on the real estate sector to boost its economy. The reform resumed in 2015 but the accumulated problems had got much worse over the years. They had to do it gradually. In 2018, Trump started a trade war and in 2019 there came covid. Therefore the reform progress is really slow. But this time China have determined to solve the problems. The government put heaps of controls to regulate the real estate market. We must know this so called crisis today is a result of a reform planned for years. Not the same as the real estate bubble in the US back in 2008.
Here you see a little pink in the wild of the Internet.
@@MrSky10101 Reasoning works better than labelling, so please don't spread the toxic culture commonly found in Chinese social network to the world or make it worse.
Wrong! Who made this mess in the first place? The greedy Chinese government, aka CCP, single-handedly blew up this enormous bubble. Now you are telling me, THEY are gonna fix the problem completely caused by themselves? As everyone knows, CCP is the only landowner and the only land supplier of China. You need land to build houses, right? Guess what, I will BORROW land to you, but you need to pay me, a lot - whatever I want!
Of course they knew such kind of BUSINESS wasn't sustainable, of course they knew it wouldn't end well, from the very beginning! Yet how could they resist the temptation to make tons of money for nothing?
Let’s hope you’re right 🤞
I mean, china is kinda a real estate Ponzi scheme tho. Just like america in 2006 (or 2022 but that’s a different story) Chinese buy up properties, sit on them for a few years and resell at huge profits. 1/3 of their economy is in the realty pyramid scheme and similar to the US in the mid 2000s (or the covid era) you can get really outta whack mortgages that don’t align anywhere near your income along with developers just slapping the things together (even more poorly built then the 2020-2022 American realty bubble homes). I mean hell Chinese homes are falling apart after 3-5 years. At least the crappier built American homes just have non right angled walls and poor insulation
This comes just as India is surpassing China in population too!
By the time millennials are elders, we might be relying on robots for our care because the world population has peaked by then.
Whatever happens in China next could be a repeating event in many large countries around the world.
It is the quality of the population that matters. Only about one percent of the Indian population is considered to be fairly-educated.
@@emmawang1999 In terms of quality India's average age is fairly young compared to China and thus working potential is more. And such data for 'fairly educated' doesn't exists, only amount of skilled workforce matters, so don't make statements that don't make any sense.
The lack of pauses between slowly enunciated sentences are extremely taxing on the ears. Great content tho.
Yay, My wish came true, you read my comment 😀, thank you, now I love this channel.
Good quality vedios. Very impressive. I'm quite impressed by your insight of Hu Kou system in China. I think the desire for people to move to bigger urban cities and own their house is the major motivation for Chinese people to work hard in the past dacades. However in recent years, the young generations start to realize the impossibilty of owning houses in tier-1 cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, they are more willing to rent (the gross rental yield is not very high in China). This shortage of housing demand are pushing down the housing price. And you are right, the housing bubble is problematic in China and one of the biggest property developers (Evergrande Group) is facing bankruptcy.
Keep up the good work 🙂☺️
I think your overworking point is important. I will also add cost of living. As earlier if a person worked more he would buy house,car etc more fast but now it will take many years no matter how much you work thus overworked body with high cost of living will be disastrous for future

You missed the investment aspect of the housing market. Given the high rate of scams, real estate was considered the safest place to keep your money, especially because the housing market had never crashed, so no matter how Terri me the property was, you would turn a profit. Home ownership is also considered a prerequisite for marriage. This is part of what allowed the flourishing of the tofu dreg construction and ghost cities.
Asia's story is always on repeat. From incestuous companies in Japan to Chaebols in South Korea to China's CCP destroying the economy for fear of losing control. It appears they all have the same trend. That is, not allowing the proper free market systems to weed out the bigger failing companies or how structures of control either out of a rigid Cultural structure perspective or from a rigid government perspective. These factors prevent them from properly moving these economies forward.

China is not a "very high tech country". All their technology is just copied from the West because they can't create anything on their own.
how about the dark side of US
Exellent video
Jp Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon: we may be headed something worse than recession....We are living in the early stage of economic impacts of superpower rivalry.
Informative
LMAO another silly “China is doomed” video. They’re all the rage in YT in August.
This is something that some of us saw coming. I lived in China for close to 12yrs and still in and out till now. I first lived in Handan a small city near Beijing when I was teaching english, then moved to Gz the 3rd largest city in China. I like it a lot there, thou nowadays I prefer to stay in 3-tier cities not the big ones like BJ, SH, Gz & Sz which are too crowded. You can clearly see the kind of pressure the society goes through. The cost of living has skyrocketed and has forced some factories to move operations to cheaper countries like Vietnam, Laos etc. Owning an apartment reached another level and young people have a lot of pressure, studying too hard to get high grades, job hunting, then marriage in itself is another one. It gets difficult if you don't have a good job, business or own an apartment. Then there's a new class of ladies who have lots of money and don't wanna get married coz it's hard to get men of their class/ status and by the time they want to settle down it's a little late. I actually see life going back to the countryside, where the pressure is less.
Yep, it's as accurate as you described here in China, but not nearly as bad compared to Japan yet lol.
Well-Done & ?hows-abouts a playlist pls?.
You forgot to explain that people were allowed to buy homes before they were built. 😅
It’s a great video but the map of China is incorrect😅. Taiwan is a neighbor country.
Everything too good to be true tend to actually be, to good to be true.
Next video: US: The declining corrupted system.
@@thomash9338 I know but facts.
Yea well it’s been a year since this video and I don’t thing China is facing its downfall and in fact it’s only getting stronger so yea…
I’m pretty sure Chinas economy is slowing down
lol this guy is so out of touch
Blame the Laying flat movement
Please make video on dark side of Canadian Economy
Your analysis of China’s economy is up to points, but you did not mention the cost of official corruption that has drained the economy, some estimated to be 25% of GDP.
Why is Taiwan on the Chinese map in the intro???
I am seriously not surprised what is happening to the Chinese economy. Even when China was "booming" you could see not all was not right; it just required a bit of investigation.
@@thomash9338 so just wait and watch, shall we?? Hahaha...hahaha...
Every country has its own issues and problems!! If you do a bit of investigations, no??? Nevertheless, it's better in booming economy, right??
gordon chang looking ahh
At least China does not provoke wars globally, helps other countries with their BRI projects, carry out regime changes.......but helps its people out of poverty. A good tree produces good fruits.
That's all China does is invoke wars😅. They try to bully other countries with their large useless military😅. Unlike other others. China economy is largely depentant on other countries economy😅.
Could u do one on Russia? Thanks
