China’s Collapsing Economy: Youth Picking Leftovers, Closed Factories, Homes Abandoned

China’s economy is collapsing, and ordinary people are paying the price. Across the country, young Chinese are turning to “zero-cost survival” — picking through leftover vegetables at markets just to eat. What began as scattered videos on social media has become a nationwide phenomenon, exposing the desperation of graduates, unemployed youth, and families trapped by debt. At the same time, Shanghai’s largest real estate agency, Lianjia, has reportedly laid off nearly 8,000 workers, a shocking sign of the housing market’s collapse. Schools in Shandong have poisoned hundreds of children with unsafe food, while Hunan’s top university forces students to live in mold-infested dorms.

Behind every headline is a story of suffering. Families crushed by mortgages they cannot pay, workers left without severance, students betrayed by broken promises, and children forced to endure unsafe conditions. Yet, the Chinese Communist Party insists everything is “under control,” silencing voices, censoring the truth, and leaving millions without hope.

China’s Healthcare Nightmare Returns With Thunderstorm Asthma, Too Many Deaths, A Nation Dying

Hospitals across China are once again buckling under pressure, not from a new virus, but from an unusual and deadly outbreak now called thunderstorm asthma. On September 11, 2025, reports from Ningxia and Inner Mongolia revealed emergency rooms overflowing with patients gasping for breath, echoing the chaos of the pandemic’s early days. Videos shared online showed desperate families crowding hospital corridors, with many describing the same terrifying symptoms—tight chests, relentless coughing, and suffocating shortness of breath. Some young patients in their thirties did not survive.

Health experts warned residents to wear N95 masks as entire communities were struck down after ordinary thunderstorms. Witnesses admitted they could hardly believe what they saw: schoolchildren, factory workers, and shopkeepers collapsing at the same time.

This sudden health disaster exposes once more how fragile China’s medical system remains. The overcrowded hospitals, the shortages of care, and the deaths of otherwise healthy young people paint a grim picture. Just as the economy weakens, consumer demand collapses, and even the funeral industry plunges into its first-ever loss, China now faces a fresh medical emergency. The cycle of crisis—from life to death—has returned, and the system looks incapable of coping.

I’ve been unemployed for three months now, lying alone in my small rental apartment. After my shop closed, I desperately searched for a job, but rejection followed rejection. Every company I applied to turned me away because of my lack of education. I’m still young, but it feels as if my whole life has been put on hold. I’ve lost the courage to even try. My days have become a cycle of lying in bed, watching meaningless videos, sleeping for hours, and surviving on just one meal a day. When you stop working, you stop living, and every time I check my credit card balance and watch it shrink, the feeling of helplessness deepens. At 28, I feel like I’ve already failed.

Today marks my 229th day of lying flat in this rental apartment. Many people keep asking me, “Why don’t you just go back home? You wouldn’t need to pay rent. You’d have a warm bed, caring parents, and food on the table.” But they don’t see the hidden weight behind those seemingly kind suggestions. As an older, single woman with no job, returning home would only magnify the pressure. Every question, every comparison with neighbors’ children who are already successful, is like a sharp needle piercing my chest. Here in my tiny rental, as long as I pay rent, I can still breathe, still keep the last fragile piece of freedom that belongs to me.

In the summer of 2025, floods swept across China before the official rainy season had even begun. From northern factories to southern farmlands, rivers swelled beyond control—by July 4, over 300 had crossed the danger line. But this isn’t just about weather. At the center of the storm stands the world’s largest dam—the Three Gorges. Once hailed as a triumph of engineering, it now raises urgent questions: is it protecting the nation, or amplifying the crisis?
