Why China's Economy is Falling Apart

For a long time, the story of China’s rise was flawless. An incredible transformation of the whole country. A new economic model challenging the Western liberal capitalism. Hundreds of millions of people lifted out of poverty. And China becoming the new global superpower, with growing influence around the globe and on its way to replace the United States as the world’s biggest economy.
But lately, things have seemed kind of…different.

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

[@808INFantry11X]

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.

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.

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.

[@jeevan88888]

Very true, so what is the solution my friend?

[@davidyang102]

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?

[@jeevan88888]

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.

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.

Good quality vedios. Very impressive. I'm quite impressed by your insight of Hu Kou system in China.

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.

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.

@@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.

Hahah great video I do think he went a bit far in trying to predict what the end game may be, I may not necessarily like the present leader for China because of his imperialistic ambitions. But Chinese are a smart and discipline people. I think a bit more than us in the west.And because of the government structure they should be able to address a lot of these issues before they get to that level he is expressing.

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.

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.

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.

QUESTO È UN VIDEO ECCELLENTE! The video precisely summarizes the chronology of events that led to the current state of the economy of the People's Republic of China. That said, the mentioning of the growth of Hong Kong and Macau should be deleted. Comparing 1962 Hong Kong and present day Hong Kong does NOT contribute to your point about the growth of Communist China. Any growth in Hong Kong during that period likely occurred under British control; has nothing to do with the policies of the communist government of China

[@emmawang1999]

Sure, if the British control were so good, why would British itself be imploding? British, once the sun never set, is now degenerating into oblivion.

@@emmawang1999 read my comment carefully. I commented that the change in Hong Kong since 1962 (as shown in the video) has more to do with Great Britain than People's Republic of China.

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.
