KK Park in Myanmar has been reduced to ruins, and the shockwaves are spreading far beyond the border. Nearly 1,000 Chinese nationals fled into Thailand as explosions rocked the Myanmar–Thailand frontier, triggering panic and confusion overnight. At the same time, signs of deepening unrest are emerging inside China, with citizens confronting officials and reports of a Chinese Communist Party cadre dying following a violent confrontation. Meanwhile, protests critical of Beijing have also erupted in India, drawing renewed international attention. You are watching China Insights Today, where we analyze China’s power, economy, and global influence as tensions intensify across the region.

China’s Flood Nightmare: Three Gorges Dam and Tofu Dams Trigger Disaster.

Heavy rain poured from the sky, flooding the southern provinces of China. The rainfall in Changsha, Hunan Province, within an hour, was enough to fill 54 West Lakes in Hangzhou. In Changsha, water reached up to an adult's neck in some areas; other parts of southern China, including Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou, Guangdong, and the Guangxi region, also experienced heavy rain and flooding. Guilin, in Guangxi, faced its worst flood in 30 years since mid-June, affecting over 180,000 people due to continuous heavy rain and upstream flood discharges, causing water levels to rise rapidly. At the hydrological station in Guilin, water levels peaked at nearly 149 meters at one point.
The rising river water flooded urban areas. Meizhou, Guangdong, also turned into a vast ocean. Residents in many parts of southern China reported never seeing such heavy rain and rapid floodwaters. Property losses, living difficulties, environmental destruction, and severe threats to people's lives were widespread. Centuries-old cultural relics were also destroyed in the floodwaters, such as in Anhui Province.

Beijing is facing a collapse no one expected. Weekends that were once packed with traffic are now eerily silent. Shopping malls stand empty at 3 p.m., escalators humming with no passengers, and whole districts feel abandoned. Residents film video after video, stunned at how quickly the capital has sunk into a deep chill. As 2025 approaches its end, people say doing business in Beijing feels like fighting a losing battle. Even housing prices—long considered untouchable—have begun to slide.
Stores that survived decades have shuttered overnight. Fangheng closed. Major 4S dealerships vanished. The once-famous Beijing Ocean Museum, packed on weekends for years, suddenly stopped opening its doors. Sanlitun, once impossible to find a seat in, is now dotted with empty restaurants, half-cooked noodles, and desperate discount signs: “Ten yuan group-buy, please come in.” Some streets in Wangfujing look like a weekday night during a blizzard—silent, vast, and echoing. Netizens ask: “Where did everyone go?” No one has an answer.

BYD’s profits collapsing 33% in 2026 is not just a number — it’s the moment China’s EV miracle begins to crack. And today on China Undercover, we’re pulling back the curtain on what state media refuses to admit: China’s EV empire is hitting its breaking point. BYD, Beijing’s golden child and the face of China’s EV rise, has shocked the world with a plunge no one saw coming. This isn’t a bad quarter. This is a systemic warning. The entire EV newcomer ecosystem — built on subsidies, hype, and unrealistic expectations — is now showing signs of collapse.

For years, China sold the world a narrative: unlimited growth, unstoppable expansion, and a future where Chinese EVs dominate global roads. BYD was the crown jewel, showcased as proof that China could beat Tesla, beat Japan, beat everyone. But behind the scenes, everything was propped up by cheap loans, government land giveaways, subsidies, and a domestic market that looked strong on the surface — but was quietly weakening. When China’s economy slowed, when living costs soared, when property wealth collapsed, consumer demand evaporated. Yet factories kept expanding, pumping out millions of cars that households could no longer afford.

China’s Collapse: Blocked Money, Massive Arrests, EV Nightmare & Housing Destruction
China is entering one of the most turbulent periods in its modern history, with multiple crises converging at once. New capital-control measures have tightened the country’s financial borders, leaving citizens unable to freely move money abroad and trapping families in economic uncertainty. At the same time, regional governments and international partners have launched sweeping crackdowns, resulting in thousands of arrests related to cross-border fraud networks. Meanwhile, China’s once-celebrated electric-vehicle boom is faltering, as factories overflow with unsold cars, dealers refuse new inventory, and frustrated owners report quality failures and sudden resale-value collapses. Adding to the turmoil, the housing market continues its downward spiral, with more than a million families losing their homes as unfinished projects and developer bankruptcies spread across major cities. What was once hailed as a rising economic powerhouse is now struggling through a deepening collapse that touches every sector — finance, law enforcement, industry, and housing.

Inside China’s failing buildings, a deeper crisis is unfolding. Aging towers and poor construction standards are now revealing long-ignored structural problems. As cracks spread and residents raise concerns, public trust is rapidly eroding. This video uncovers how weak oversight, rushed development, and safety failures are putting millions at risk — and why so many homes are becoming symbols of a system in urgent need of repair.
