Guangdong and Shenzhen are collapsing. Jobs are disappearing, and businesses are shutting down across the city. Entire streets that were once packed with people are now silent, lined with closed shops and empty buildings. Factories that operated for more than a decade have suddenly gone dark. Office towers stand half-empty, and even small businesses can no longer survive. What was once one of China’s most prosperous cities is now showing clear signs of decline.
The environment is too bad. We can't find a job. The business environment is also very bad. This is Shenzhen. The commercial districts, once known as prime locations where every inch of land was worth gold, used to be extremely prosperous. Now the vacancy rate is rising. Stores are closing. Look at this entire street—almost everything is shut down. Businesses are gone. Such a large factory, which had been operating for more than ten years, is now closed. The factory offices in Shenzhen have also shut down. There used to be many people here, but now even after more than ten days, there is no one around. No one is managing or watching over the place anymore.

"After watching the footage of her final moments, it's hard not to feel shaken. She believed that working hard would bring stability, yet the long hours and intense pressure may have pushed her body beyond its limits. From calling for help to losing consciousness, everything happened within ten minutes, without even a chance to say goodbye to her family."
In the early morning of March 11, 2026, Wang Zha Jie from Shanxi suddenly ended her livestream. According to reports circulating online, from the onset of her condition to her passing, it took only about ten minutes.
"Many people today are under pressure—unemployment, debt, and constant stress. Hospitals appear increasingly crowded with patients suffering from strokes, cerebral hemorrhages, and heart conditions. Some people say they feel confused about the direction of life. Divorce, financial strain, and uncertainty seem more common than before. In this situation, health starts to feel like the only thing that truly matters. Some even wonder whether conditions like strokes and cerebral infarctions are becoming more common."

The crisis triggered by the war in the Middle East has escalated rapidly. A Chinese sailor livestreamed scenes from the conflict, showing hundreds of ships stranded as the Strait of Hormuz was effectively blocked. Beijing’s strategy in the Middle East has collapsed. Today, we take a deeper look into this issue.
On an early day of the month, a Chinese sailor was stranded on an oil tanker at Jebel Ali Port, the largest port in the Middle East. Using his phone, he livestreamed a shocking scene. “We are currently anchored at Jebel Ali Port. The ship has finished unloading, but because the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, we can only follow the ship owner’s instructions and wait here for further orders. Can you see the area over there? That is a U.S. military base, known as one of the safest logistics hubs in the Gulf region. What just happened? An oil tanker was hit by a missile. That ship probably tried to force its way through the Strait of Hormuz. The ship owner is likely American or Israeli, but the crew is certainly not. This is a disaster. Truly bad luck. But to be fair, our situation is not much better. The U.S. base nearby has also just been attacked. Ninety seconds ago, two projectiles landed. The explosions were extremely loud. It was attacked yesterday, and after firefighters had just put out the flames, now two more strikes have hit. I really don’t dare stand here anymore.

“Hey brothers, is today Saturday? There isn’t a single car on this road!” I have noticed for the past two days that Harbin has been completely empty, without a single car. It’s truly frightening. I told you before that this village was desolate, but you wouldn’t believe me. Everyone, look at this. The temperature is now below –30°C. And look over there—there isn’t a single plume of smoke rising. Not one. This village has already become deserted.
The Northeast region has now become desolate. Northeast China was once the backbone of China’s industry. The oil fields of Daqing Oilfield, the steel industry of Anshan, and the automobile industry of Changchun once created a glorious era. But that glory faded long ago. Today, in many cities and villages, a different and painful scene is unfolding. Nine out of ten villages are deserted, and some villages even have only a single resident left. Some netizens bluntly say that the current situation in the Northeast is the future of the entire country.

Hello. What we are about to share on our channel today is more of a warning than news.
Let us begin with a shocking allegation that has been circulating online. Someone shouted, “How can you do this?” The person yelling was not a bank robber. It was the customer who had been taken to the police station by the bank. In this vast city, a woman had gone to a bank. Her goal was simply to transfer about 200,000 yuan from her personal account. That was all. However, what awaited her was not assistance from bank staff but a report to the police.
She said she was taken into a police car and interrogated in a room where officers repeatedly questioned why she was transferring 200,000 yuan. A blogger pointed out that the bank kept repeating the explanation that it was “to protect the customer’s assets,” but that argument had already collapsed.

More than 1,000 households in this village have no one living in them. Look at this place—this one even has a big gate. This one is good, there’s a garage inside, and another one here too. There are two houses side by side. You can see they look wealthy and secure. The gate is huge, and there’s even a talisman hanging on it. But look around—this entire village, every house is empty. All empty. One after another. Hello everyone, welcome to the Kanda Road Show. I’m Meiling. The three northeastern provinces of Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang were once the industrial heartland of China, famous for steel, coal, machinery, and heavy industry. But as market reforms reshaped the economy and industrial structures changed, these traditional industries gradually lost their competitiveness. Many state-owned enterprises collapsed, local government debt rose, the real-estate market declined, and economic growth in the region has lagged behind the national average for years.
