  1. Gives a boost to "working from home" perhaps?

  2. Be good to see embedded dates in the images on all of these doom & gloom reports. There is too much stock footage of dubious source.

  3. It's a sign, sure enough . . . . not a good one.

  4. Talking about RMB (renminbi) is utterly meaningless to anyone not Chinese, few of whom I suspect would listen to a programme in English.

  5. More examples of people wearing heavy coats indoors . . . . never any mention of this phenomenon . . .

  6. A lot of Chinese 'tourists' are crossing the U.S. s/w border too . . .

  7. Indeed - they were there in small numbers at the start of WW2 when production was ramped up. WW2 experience though was very extensive and intensive. Chinese have yet to come to terms with all that is involved in operation, let alone combat.  @MMOStein

  8. Yuan and Yen are meaningless to most of us - quote in dollars and we can comprehend.

  9. They don't realise how bad it once was and presume the good times will continue to roll.

  10. Yes, most of the world drives on the "wrong side of the road" . . .

  11. Government funding to Country Garden, Evergreen and Vanke, plus others, will see excess supply continue. What can go wrong?

  12. Very impressed by those cars ploughing through deep water, at some speed too. Any of them EVs do you think . . . ?

  13. They know nothing else.

  14. We’ll all be looking "over there", when disintegration will happen "over here". The “West” as we know it is disintegrating; slowly for now, then very quickly.

  15. All the economic videos have this feature; it's weird . . .

  16. If real estate is no longer a good investment, foreign travel and genuine quality items will be the way to go.

  17. A lot of the clips here have been used in other videos, more than once. Credibility is now becoming seriously eroded . . .

  18. Shipping EVs may prove problematic, expensive too . . .

  19. He reels off a string of names that are meaningless to most of us! Plans for massive drainage infrastructure investment would be worth relating.

  21. That happened in Europe in the early 1940s - why not in China now?  @charlebrownga

  22. You're suggesting they care - they don't.

  23. Working so far, but give it time . . .

  24. Lots of concrete being poured . . . . how long before the failures begin . . . ?

  25. Shipping them from China to €Urope may be problematic. Someone will probably try to do it, so watch this space . . .

  26. * Xi wants to drive economy with cutting edge technology * In mid-1960s UK, the PM spoke of "the white hot technological revolution" which, like all socialist ideas, ran out of money.

  27. "Water level reached 17.44 metres" . . . . as spurious data goes, this is right up there with the best.
    2
  28. Many mentions of water shortages . . . . none about floods . . .
    2
  29. All over China there has been much construction of buildings, but little of it devoted to drainage. Too much paving, preventing soaking into subsoils . . .

  30. Many in Tiananmen Square thirty odd years ago thought so, but tanks persuaded them otherwise.

  31. Just don't rely on any statistics coming from 'official' Chinese sources . . . . think of a number, double it and go on from there . . .

  32. Dumb people use smart meters. Smart people use dumb meters.

  33. Number one spot for what? Fraud?

  34.  @rymoremorris5287  If those huge trains are on high-speed tracks, the rail damage would be detrimental to fast trains.

  35. He answers prayers, but sometimes the answer is 'no' . . .

  36. Loading coal with buckets onto a passenger train?

  37.  @midwestmike613  Will those charges be paid off? A sale is not a sale until the cash is in the bank - same with fines and parking fees . . .

  38.  @Cryosxify  British will disagree with you on that.

  39. Chinese communists don't really understand capitalist investment principles . . . . who knew?

  40. * Grand Auto * . . . . or Grand Theft Auto ? It's not a game when trust is betrayed and you're substantially out of pocket.

  41. Socialism - the money runs out, eventually, as it always does; other people's money, of course . . . !

  42. Maybe the cops weren't getting the stipulated bribes . . . ?

  43. Everywhere - inflation is offically-sanctioned theft.  @georgeacun3619

  44. Yuan values are meaningless - please use U.S. dollar$.

  45. Drive very carefully . . . !

  46. Pointless telling us the names of cities and provinces; nobody knows [or cares] where they are anyway . . .

  47. That tractor and excavator bucket seem to have done sterling work all over China in recent months!

  48. Can the population migrate freely, or is it just those going home from the cities not returning to them? China is as free as USA for movement - really?

  49. I've seen the little girl in a yellow t-shirt at least three times, the young policeman too, one of the many everywhere . . .

  50. China is hell for sure - God is not in their lives. "Trust" is a word, but not a reality in China . . .
