  1. Oh, no! The police will start arresting these cheapskate youths for 'malicious non-spending'.🤣🤣 How dare you save for your future!

  2. How hypocritical of China to accuse Japan of harming humanity by allegedly polluting the oceans when their own fishing fleet has been damaging the environment by destroying sea corals and overfishing the oceans bare?

  3. CCP : "No permanent friends nor enemies, only permanent interests."

  4. "Did I just buy a bag of bread or a bag of fertilizer?" got me laughing hard😂😂Not only is China notorious for its questionable food safety standards (or lack of it) but also for allowing child labor that exploits their young bodies. I expect to hear more disgusting stories as more unscrupulous merchants cut corners to save costs to survive the increasingly cut-throat environment.

  5. Living day-to-day is not exactly what you call 'living', but this is what these guys have been forced into, either by choice or whatever. A harsh environment and exploitative system that rob people of their dreams and motivation to the point that they just float with the current. Despite his hard life, the drifter guy sounds content with his adopted lifestyle: no responsibilities, no commitments, nothing to care for but himself. He's free.

  6. She put an end to her nightmare. In her own terms. That was a middle finger to an oppressive system that she was forced to endure.

  7. The "cobra" shower heads, the "illiterate" calculator, the "wailing banshee" car horn, and the horizontally-plugged electric water heater were the funniest😂😂😂
    303
  8. "If you spend money, you're a god. If you don't, you're nothing." Pretty much sums up the Chinese culture. Money is god. Woe to the indentured peasants.

  9. But, but I have a degree in Gender Studies! 😁I can help your company create a code to avoid misgenderism in the workplace🤣

  10. Buyers' remorse again. Lesson: Don't buy anything from any company owned or controlled by a Chinese. It's more likely a scam. Spare yourselves the grief.

  11. When your government has zero credibility that even a reassurance from the government itself triggers more panic.
    195
  12. If their underwater tunnels leak days after being opened to the public, what's the guarantee that their submarines will be any better?
    180
  13. Considering the quality of typical Chinese-constructed buildings, expecting high-rises to last even 10 years without issues would be nothing short of a miracle.
    171
  14. "He is no longer delivering food but is now delivering cement at a construction site". Wow! That's an upgrade🤣
    164
  15. Old habits die hard. For more profits.
    160
  16. Things are really serious when the government relies on fines to operate.
    159
  17. It must be so difficult putting up a facade just for the sake of appearances. Those "new" poor pretending to be rich have adopted a dual identity because losing face would be worse for them. A hollow existence that hinges on how much money you got.
    155
  18. These scamming compounds will never be eradicated as long as officials from countries involved receive 'incentives' from those running them. Nothing gets done because nobody does nothing. If there's a will, there's a way.
    140
  19. So essentially, if you eat those pre-packaged meals in a regular basis, you get a lesson about the Periodic Table as well as pickling your own body with preservatives.
    124
  20. Fake gold in China? But Chinese don't cheat and scam. I'm really shocked. You must be mistaken, China Observer.
    122
  21. "A dozen government departments come to collect money". Translation : "Corrupt officials show up randomly to collect their bribes." No wonder businesses are failing. Every bureaucrat wants to have a slice of the pie even as businesses lose money. It's like squeezing blood from a stone.
    120
  22. In ancient Rome, it was called, "bread and circus". State-funded spectacles with free bread to distract the masses from the toil of their everyday lives. In China, it's all circus without the bread.
    119
  23. They never really wanted to study nor explore life abroad. They went abroad to escape the stigma brought about by being leftover women. Chinese culture is harsh for women who chose to remain unmarried.
    115
  24. From zero to 100 kph acceleration in just 2 seconds? Did that first lady driver buy an F1 car to drive on a highway?
    111
  25. That scene of the old guy drinking like a dog from that roadside puddle was downright dehumanizing. I've seen many beggars but not one of them did what this guy did.
    111
  26. China : "Cost of living has become prohibitively expensive. It's ridiculous!" Rest of the world : "First time?"
    106
  27. Those "urban management police" a.k.a. Urban Bandits have definitely perfected the art of robbing even the lowly street vendors by force of numbers🤣🤣
    106
  28. Government treating its own citizens like they are criminals, scammers, and dummies. "Know your client" has become "Troll your client" 😂😂😂
    104
  29. His efforts may have been a drop in the ocean in a cesspool of corruption like China but at least this guy is doing something and not just ranting on social media.

  30. Feel sorry for her and her child. She was sold a lie that spending a fortune in a top university is a sure-fire guarantee to improve her status. I hope she gets back on her feet for the sake of her daughter.
    97
  31. They should have installed solar PVs on the cars' roof for backup power. If no sunlight because it's cloudy, install a windmill at the hood.😂😂
    93
  32. Just don't put your money in the banks to save yourselves from grief.
    85
  33. After luring farmers to move to urban areas to buy overpriced houses that they can't afford, now they are being duped to become stock market players. Poor farmers.
    84
  34. Whether the reduced fleet was due to electric batteries, lower revenue due to lower ridership, or lack of funds for drivers' salaries, one thing is certain: the government is broke and is into drastic cost-cutting measures to delay the inevitable economic storm. Grim days ahead for the people. Not a good sign to the CCP.
    83
  35. The audacity of the restaurant to claim that the leftover rice collected from the tables will be fed to the staff was so appalling. Treating their staff like dogs. I want to see the owners eat it in front of their customers.
    78
  36. Scammer gets scammed. That's priceless.
    75
  37. Scamming, cheating and shortchanging is normal in China, not the exception. They think that they are entitled to. do it to others, especially to foreigners.
    74
  38. When even the so-called "iron rice bowls" (civil service jobs) are increasingly becoming "clay rice bowls" because the state's coffers are depleted, you have a very serious problem, indeed.
    72
  39. BYD = Burn Your Driver. How very apt.
    71
  40. The lady at the end of the video gave a level-headed concise summary of what ails the Chinese export-oriented economy. For decades, China relied and basked in "Made in China" exports which were cheap and made with low labor cost. They neglected innovation, the bottomline of which is research and development. Instead of making their own brand, they focused on stealing copyright and IP theft. Instead of investing in high-technology, they settled with reverse-engineering and the like. Now their short-sightedness is showing. That lady should give this lecture to those "patriotic" Chinese who thinks that dogma can feed people.

  41. "China has the world's strictest food regulatory system". The most understated joke of the year🤣🤣
    71
  42. There is a saying: "The probability of getting struck by a lightning twice is higher than winning the jackpot in the lottery". Don't tell me that some guy with a hundred thousands of yuan decided one day to bet on random set of eight numbers but, with a sudden episode of seeing the future, bought the same number combinations 50,000 times, and actually got it right?? Is he a Nostradamus or something?
    68
  43. And the pro-China shills are even trumpeting that the yuan will replace the greenbuck as the world's reserve currency😂🤣
    67
  44. I can only imagine the mess inside the trains the Chinese left: spitoon, poo, vomit, plastic and paper wrappers, used diapers, leftover food, spillages etc.
    67
  45. Why do Chinese moviemakers believe people with short disposable income would patronize theaters when they can barely scrape enough to buy basic necessities?
    65
  46. Chinese : "Hi there, officer!" Cop : "Talking to a police officer without any reason is fined. That's 20 yuan". Citizen : "I just greeted you with sincerity. It's illegal now?" Cop : "Talking without being asked to is an offense. That's additional 20 yuan from you". Citizen : "This is fu**ing ridiculous! Why don't you just rob me outright?" Cop : "Swearing and accusing an officer of the peace is a serious offense. You get another 100 yuan fine for that."
    62
  47. I feel bad for them. They deserve their hard-earned money. Unfortunately, they will never see their deposits again. The CCP has re-channeled those to the BRI dole-outs.
    61
  48. Hotpot uses rocket fuel while rockets use gutter oil as fuel😁😁😁🤣
    59
  49. Chinese banking system is a dystopia. If they lose your money, they deny responsibilty. Try to deposit your money, and you get interrogated like you are a criminal. Why bother dealing with such aggravation?
    57
  50. The risk when a sector makes up 40% of your GDP is in display in China's current predicament. With banks heavily-exposed in the collapsing real estate, it had no choice but to take drastic measures to keep itself afloat like fiscal consolidation, pay cuts, and lay offs. More jobless and underemployment mean less consumer spending which means weak domestic economy. The dominoes are falling one by one.
