  1. The first woman saying those things while her child is watching from behind? Things look getting desperate for China. And Xi Jinping feels so generous as to give Africa $50 billion. Well done, Winnie.

  2. Winter wonderland scene is beautiful except that extreme cold can freeze crops and create shortages.
    54
  3. Moral of the story: Don't buy if you can't afford it. You can't afford it if you have to borrow or take out a loan to cover it. Seasons do have rainy days so save up during the summer as ants and bees do. And never, EVER, let other people's opinions push you into making decisions that you would end up paying for later. It's your responsibility, not theirs.

  4. Tofu military

  5. Laughable how he expected real beef and seafood for that low price. When a Chinese restaurant offer something that is too good to be true, there's always a catch somewhere. You get what you pay for.
    52
  6. China's bureaucracy is, and has always been, obscenely bloated, period. And it will get more bloated as the government has to absorb more jobless to relieve the pressure of unemployment in the country. The money printer will be very busy.

  7. If the product you're endorsing/selling is crap, expect returns from customers. Good thing returns are allowed.
    51
  8. You can have the biggest and most modern equipment and infrastructures, but if your customers don't trust your unpredictable government, you will remain a laggard.

  9. If you buy it ridiculously cheap, it's fake or substandard. Just consider your money as a donation to the online seller and he sent you a token of appreciation. But on the funny side, the products shown here were so hilariously messed up🤣🤣🤣🤣

  10. Not only do Chinese banks offer lower interest rates, the best deal-breaker is the possibility of your deposits unilaterally used to prop up the failing real estate companies in China.
    48
  11. Defense contractors: "Why use weld? We use glue made in China to build our ships and submarines. Cheaper and easier. More money." 🤣🤣🤣

  12. Playing in stocks is like playing in a casino: you can hit it big or you fall flat and lose your shirt in the process in a matter of hours.
    43
  13. The 2nd lady who reduced her expected salary to 5k yuan got blindsided by the prospective employer. The employer ditched her because another applicant agreed to a lower salary for the same post. A pity. There's a real cut-throat competition out there.
    42
  14. Ridiculous to require job applicants to go through such silly hoops like a bunch of army recruits for a position that barely pays enough-- if they get paid at all. Undignified & humiliating. Unfortunately, that 44-hour work weekly is mostly observed on countries where the rule of law is more than just lip service.

  15. If you don't have money to eat even a steamed bun, how can you have money to rent a place to stay?
    41
  16. The child's father on the first clip appear surprisingly calm as he took his child from that would-be abductor. No shouting, no rush, no confrontation of the woman. Like it was a normal occurence there.
    40
  17. Population control.

  18. Chinese shops are desperate for sales. They'd rather take a huge hit in their bottom line than be stuck with unsold inventories in their storages. What's notable is that these are food stuffs. Even as they struggle, people will find ways to scrape enough money to buy food even at higher prices as they need to eat. Deflation has now hit food.
    39
  19. Doing it right means less money🤑🤑😆
    38
  20. 3:58 Off-the-bat answer: Somebody has been manipulating the stock market. These investors should have figured that out by now.
    38
  21. The dirt-cheap prices alone is a giveaway. If know the price of a branded item and you came across a similar item priced way cheap, then it's either fake or a knockoff of the real thing which means substandard quality. You get what you pay for.
    36
  22. it's a badge of honor for them. Cheating for them is a norm. If you cheated, you are smart. If you got cheated, you're a sucker and deserve to lose money.

  23. Heartbreaking to see these young couple brimming with hope and enthusiasm as they begin their journey acquiring what every family dream of: their own home. Despite the unfortunate turn of events beyond their control, they still look at the positive side of things that one day, everything will turn out well for them. I wish them well.

  24. The store couldn't sell because Chinese window-shoppers turned it into a siesta area like what they did in Ikea.
    35
  25. "Pre-fabricated panels" Translation : concrete slabs without rebars Why China allows widespread use of pre-fabricated concrete when their country is prone to earthquakes is beyond me.
    35
  26. ​ @williss1192  Starbucks and IKEA must be regretting staying behind in China. The latter's display showcase became a free hostel and siesta center they must as well offer free meals-in-bed.
    35
  27. After "flexible employment", now comes "slow employment". Same dog, different collar. Go, go, China! 👏👏At the rate you're going with your euphemisms, you can make Webster adopt those in their dictionary😂😂
    34
  28. Funny how Chinese can be so gullible to buy something just because it was endorsed by their favorite influencers who are laughing their way to the bank.
    34
  29. That's the dilemma with these workers. They know the company was struggling and missed paying their salaries but instead of cutting their losses by quitting, they just prolonged their slavery.
    34
  30. Investing 200k yuan to establish a gaming arcade up in the boondocks where there are barely enough children or young people to patronize it. Yup, that's a brilliant idea.
    32
  31. Mention 'Made in China' and the words that usually accompany it are: fake, low-quality, tofu dreg, copied/pirated, adulterated, dirty, toxic. And that's being kind.
    31
  32. Food safety issues have been around in China for as far as one can remember. Manufacturers and sellers don't care as long as they make money, while the government just go through the motions of 'acting' on the problem. It will never end even in their own lifetime.
    31
  33. Give those African guys some slack. They don't want to go home missing one of their kidneys.
    31
  34. "It's your fault if your kids got crushed by our tofu-dreg railings".
    30
  35. Just invited her for tea, the police would say.
    30
  36. Those homebuyers should just save their tears begging Evergrande and their ilk to deliver their houses. They got scammed, and no houses nor refunds is forthcoming. Their government is complicit in this mess they are in.
    30
  37. Both
    28
  38. They have a good public transport system. That's another disincentive to buy a car.
    28
  39. They have to behave or they could be on the next deportation flight by ICE.
    28
  40. The era of spending more than you earn and living beyond your means are over. It's unsustainable and will just put you to misery when banks came calling.
    28
  41. Competing in an oversaturated business in a shrinking market is a sure-fire way to lose your shirt.
    26
  42. They already did. You just don't realize it.
    26
  43. They want more farmers to the rural areas.
    26
  44. Online influencers and their audiences are bound by one thing: escapism. Just as opium was in history, the audiences have a few hours to forget that they are unemployed, homeless and in debt. The influencers get to experience the high of being in charge of how their audiences think and act. It distracts people from making their lives better.
    26
  45. "It's not real communism."
    26
  46. A 4-day, 3-night tour costing 40 yuan was too cheap to be true and should have triggered red flags as a possible scam, yet suckers still fall for it. There's always a catch somewhere.
    25
  47. When even Russians themselves expose to the world your cheating/scamming of people with your so-called 'authentic Russian goods'😂is embarrasing.
    25
  48. You will fall asleep without ever waking up😁
    25
  49. Those two buildings' exterior are unique indeed, but inside? Ugly and looks claustraphobic.
    25
  50. Now this makes it clear why new graduates and the unemployed would rather take their chances on the shrinking job markets in the cities than go back to their hometowns to farm. It's a choice between the rock and the hard place.
