In that case, I suppose China will certainly go into outright collapse, balkanize, and plunge the entire population into yet another Century of Humiliation soon - Or worse, the ultimate destruction of the entire Chinese civilization.

Am I right? Especially @ChongqingHotPot92 and @FairAndUnbiased.

In reality, China is turning from a supplier to western companies into a direct competitor. The days when western companies could use cheap Chinese components, and its hyper-competitive factories, to lower their costs and fatten their profit margins are long over. Instead, they face increasingly brutal competition from aggressive, well run Chinese rivals now moving into mainstream consumer markets.

Am I correct? Especially @ChongqingHotPot92 and @FairAndUnbiased.

I'm serious here.

1. Middle class Chinese are now spending massive amount of money to try to cross into the U.S. via Mexico, risking everything despite absolutely no guarantee of being able to find a job in the U.S.
2. 996 work culture persists despite labor law clearly making it illegal. With the 996 work culture, employees are burnt out and have no family time at all. In other words, both employers and employees are violating the labor laws just to squeeze the last bits of pennies in cut-throat competitions. Current labour laws are literally impossible to implement since EVERYONE is violating them.
3. Toxic competition and back stabbings in both academic and professional settings called 内卷.
4. Urban young Chinese women (mostly daughters of well-to-do elites) refuse to marry and have babies with Chinese men. When they marry foreign men, they demand no bride price, but when approach by their Chinese counterparts, they demand exorbitant bride price in the name of "feminism". This social phenomenon (call it gender war, if you like) is arguably impossible to fix.
5. While the government hopes to resuscitate the collapsing birth rate, there are little mechanism in place to support pregnant women, and single mothers and fathers. Of course this can relatively easy to fix by increasing welfare coverage.
6. All of these problems, along with others, are making people extremely social darwinian in their beliefs. If you lose your job or your company get driven out of business, nobody would sympathize with you since it is "natural selection" of the fittest.
7. The richest people all try to transfer their assets abroad with the hope to tax avoidance. If you think American companies and Wall Street are kings of tax avoidance, you need to travel to Shanghai and actually talk to Shanghai business elites.

Is that is the list of your problems, I don't think you really have problems at all. Like, wow, you have to deal with toxic people that are willing to backstab you push their own careers? In real life? Yeah. welcome to the real world, kid.
A lot things you posted like #1 and #7 is has being greatly exaggerated by Western mainstream garbage media or a basically your own bias and have nothing government, like why is Xi responsible for who a young woman want to marry?

There are some criticism to Xi like there is a lot to give him credit, personally I think he was slow to predict and act when the US Washington D.C. stooges tried to kill China semiconductor industry.
For years he caved in too much to the Chinese liberals that wanted to keep China semiconductor industry dependent on a few US and European monopolies only because they wanted China semi industry to be more like Taiwan or Korea, newsflash, the US would have NEVER allow China semiconductor industry be so big no matter who is in power in China. Given this threat, localization should have been enforced sooner rather than later and more when government money was involved.​

I used to scoff at all the Xi praise. I thought it was just some meme shit like how Indians try to make Modi seem like some complete visionary leader when only Indians themselves care about him.

But after seeing some recent senior party members getting fired for having an affair with a spy or letting their family members sell state secrets, I kinda get why China needs Xi. As someone who lived through the worst of the cultural revolution, basically Xi is a tough personality and is willing to go all the way to see it through without major compromises.

The other leaders especially the younger leaders don't have what it takes. They are mentally weak who would give in to corruption, liberalism and whatever because the path otherwise is too tough for them. I mean it's pretty obvious how the west is trying to screw all of China over yet they are still doing this stuff? How on earth does that help especially when it's your turn to be dealt with? They grew up in better times, they don't really know what true hardship is. Maybe they are smarter coz they didn't have their education interrupted but what's the point if you're just going to be a lib who gives in to the west coz you can't tough it out? That's probably why Xi still has to stay on coz whoever is going to replace him afterwards hasn't shown that toughness yet. If he was leader right now, he probably would have already made dumb compromises.

I previously spoken on LKY being tough and how the subsequent leaders were weak. China better pay attention.
