Here is an excellent video about poverty alleviation program by CGTN It has segment on Minning. You see in this video many SOE get involve in poverty alleviation program. So they have social function and not only profit that is why their profit margin is low compare to private company

Fourteen cities in nine eastern Chinese provinces have paired with 14 underdeveloped cities and provinces in the central and western regions. Another 343 developed counties in the east and 573 poor counties in the west have also entered a partnership. Victory in the poverty alleviation campaign can be guaranteed by everyone working together.

I am puzzled why unbalanced focus towards Chinese debt, when US splurge on stimulus and QE to the point that financially conservative ideology is almost dead.

The BIG difference is that the US govt debt is in US$, while other countries also mainly in US$, not their own currency, except perhaps Japan and somewhat China. So technically the US govt could just print the $, while other countries couldn't print the US$ ;)

First, they said people can't get married due to the high property price. Now, they said people can't get married due to the low property price. It is always doom and gloom when it comes to China.

But but, think of the LAndLordS, think about the bIG comPaNIeS, how could they ever recover back their investment.

Property prices should absolutely go down. And if any bank or local gov depends on infinite house price increases then their financial system/model is broken.

Houses are for common people to find a place to live not for investment.

Yes, it sounds a bit suspicious when the article quotes someone from Tianjin who’s paying two mortgages simultaneously complaining about declining property prices.

Seriously, Chinese government debts are predominantly internal debts (rmb denominated). Why does this "somewhat" come from?

Tencent's R&D workforce accounted for 68 percent of the company's total in 2020, up 16 percent from 2019, according to a report released by the Chinese social media and gaming giant on March 18.

Wow. Did Xi just gave a call to Tenscent's CEO to start making real innovation or he will shut them down? Lmao.

I mean look at these numbers, this is such a dramatic increase, there is no way it is solely market forces. Not.complaining though lol.

Now the rest of the industry better follow up or...
