"Facing financial challenges, these tech companies are opting for bankruptcy and liquidation before the year ends, while others still struggle to survive into the next year. Unable to pay some employee salaries or afford severance packages, and unwilling to lay off directly, these companies have introduced a "new model" of layoffs in China: not terminating employment, just granting long holidays."

"A research assistant at the Chinese Academy of Economic Research, Guochen Wang, stated at a seminar on "The Situation in Mainland China and Cross-Strait Relations Before and After the 2024 Presidential Election" held on November 30th, that the actual economic condition of China is more severe than it appears.
Using official data released by the Chinese government, he estimated the actual growth rate of the economy.
By calculating the difference between expenditures in fixed investment, retail of consumer goods, housing sales, goods and service trade, and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the first three quarters of 2023, he found a shortfall of 1 trillion US dollars, accounting for 7.9 percent of the GDP.
This suggests that the GDP figures have been inflated by as much as 10 percent.
The discrepancies in GDP figures are mainly due to local governments inflating data to enhance their political achievements."

"Recently, customs at Shenyang Taoxian International Airport discovered abnormal images in a passenger's luggage during an outbound flight to South Korea. Upon inspection, they found 1 million yuan in cash inside the luggage.
On November 3rd, as reported by Guangdong Zhuhai Airport, Gongbei Customs, which operates under the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Customs, caught a driver hiding two gold bars in his shoes, totaling 2000 grams and estimated to be worth about 900,000 yuan.
China's wealthy are rapidly moving assets out of the Chinese financial market.
They are transferring billions of dollars out of the country this year by purchasing gold bars, Hong Kong insurance policies, foreign currencies, and luxury apartments overseas.
Under the increasingly oppressive regime of the CCP, the rich are moving their assets both as a way to find solid investment options and to avoid becoming targets of the CCP's financial harvest.
According to a report by The New York Times on November 28th, about 50 billion dollars are flowing out of China each month on average, primarily from Chinese households and private businesses.
The report states that to circumvent the Chinese government's strict control over transferring funds overseas, some people are buying small gold bars and stuffing them into their carry-on luggage, including large amounts of foreign currency, or purchasing overseas real estate.

China’s Luxury Ghost Village Full Of Abandoned Mansions

In the foothills of Shenyang, an industrial city in northeastern China lies the mysterious State Guest Mansions project, a real-estate complex of more than 250 luxury mansions, all of which are abandoned.

The story of State Guest Mansions began in 2010, when business in the Chinese real estate sector was booming. Property giant Greenland Group bought up hectares of land in the foothills around Shenyang and began work on what was supposed to be a retreat for the region’s rich and powerful. 260 European-style villas began rising out of the ground, complete with marble floors and gilded chandeliers hanging from the ceilings, but for some strange reason that has yet to be revealed, development stopped in 2018 and the place has been a ghost town ever since.

Interesting post Bluegreen and the abandone/ghost cities aren't just confined to China; also Forest City in Malaysia and Kilamba (Quilamba) in Angola. There may be more.







The link below gives an explanation of why China has 50 ghost cities, but doesn't mention those in other countries. It'd be interesting to know how and why China was able to procure so much land in other countries and who did the actual building, ie. the Chinese themselves, or local builders.
