China’s Factory Apocalypse: Workers Threatening Suicide, Homes Demolished, Jobs Gone

320,000 jobs vanished. Entire production lines dismantled. Foxconn leaving China, taking 80% of a city’s export volume with it. Workers standing on rooftops threatening to jump for unpaid wages. Families in Shanghai evicted for 20 years. Microsoft China laying off staff by AI voice message.

This is not a prediction — it’s happening right now.

In this new investigation from China Undercover, we expose the silent but accelerating collapse reshaping the lives of millions across China. From Hunan to Guangdong, from Zhengzhou to Shanghai, factories are closing, foreign capital is fleeing, and ordinary citizens are sinking under the weight of unemployment, housing crises, and broken promises.

Now even the banks have lost control. They are frantically rushing to unload their housing stocks, triggering a flood of price cuts that shocks everyone. Families involved in these sales noticed something unprecedented: banks slashed prices immediately—a blunt, unapologetic downgrade. Buyers are still paying tens of thousands of yuan, yet banks cut prices by 27% right from the start. About 75% of these homes aren’t rare, and even small counties are offering discounts. The banks that once lent money for mortgages have now become the country’s largest landlords overnight.
The housing market in Beijing, Shanghai, and other major cities is collapsing at lightning speed. Homeowners are rushing to sell, cutting prices drastically just to escape losses. Apartments that once sold for millions are now offered at half the price. Banks are joining the frenzy, unloading thousands of units in massive discounts. Even prime locations are no longer safe—buyers are hesitant, fearing further drops. Streets are quiet, commercial areas empty, and ghostly buildings dominate the skyline. Developers are caught in brutal price wars, unable to stabilize the market. The era of skyrocketing property values is over—panic and desperation now rule China’s real estate.

Tesla's Great Escape Pul Out of China to Secure the EV Future, 700,000 Tons of Unsold Tomato Paste

China's tomato industry faces crisis as 600,000–700,000 tons of unsold paste from Xinjiang stockpiles, triggered by Italy's rejection over forced labor allegations. Exports to Europe plummeted 67% in Q3 2025, with Italy's imports down 76%. Production may halve to 3.7 million tons. Scandals involving Uyghur detention and "origin-washing" in Italian products, exposed by BBC, fueled backlash. Broader food safety issues plague Chinese exports, including contaminated honey, eggs, and seafood. Meanwhile, Tesla accelerates decoupling, ordering suppliers to eliminate Chinese components for U.S. vehicles within 1-2 years, citing lockdowns and tariffs. Shifting to Samsung batteries and domestic production, Tesla's China sales dropped 36% in October, while exports surged. This reflects U.S.-China tensions, with GM, Ford following suit in supply chain diversification, impacting jobs, tech, and EV innovation in China. Global decoupling extends to tech and consumer goods, raising costs for Chinese consumers.

China’s economy is spiraling into a severe and terrifying recession. Factories are shutting down, shopping centers are deserted, and unemployment is spreading at an alarming rate. In major cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen, heartbreaking scenes of homeless people sleeping across sidewalks and parks have become tragically common. The human toll is staggering.
The garment industry—Guangzhou’s pride and the heart of China’s textile and apparel sector—is suffering the most. Workshops that once operated 24/7 to meet international demand now face production stagnation, plummeting orders, and massive layoffs. Many large garment companies have been forced to shut down entirely. Workers who were once essential contributors to the economy now face unemployment, no income, and no clear way to survive.

Across China, a terrifying wave of crises is unfolding all at once, shaking the nation to its core. A mysterious illness is spreading rapidly, overwhelming hospitals and causing people to collapse suddenly in schools, workplaces, and on the streets. At the same time, poverty is exploding to levels unseen in decades—families are skipping meals, cities are filled with the unemployed, and entire communities are slipping into silence. Even more alarming, unexplained deaths are rising sharply among children, young adults, and the elderly, with no clear cause and no official answers. Videos of overcrowded clinics, empty store shelves, and grieving families are flooding social media before being swiftly censored. These are not isolated incidents but signs of a society under immense strain—where disease, hunger, and fear combine into a nationwide emergency. As China tries desperately to hide the truth, the question grows louder: What exactly is happening behind the curtain?

Here comes the next shocking turn in the Yu Manglong story—one that many viewers will find deeply unsettling.
Today, commentator Limyang shared new claims circulating online, suggesting that before his death, Yu was told the exact day he would die. According to these posts, he spent his final moments trapped in fear, counting each day like a ticking clock. When the moment finally came, the people targeting him allegedly carried out their plan without hesitation. Many netizens noted that the entire ordeal eerily resembles the mysterious passing of actor Chiao Renlian nine years earlier.
A self-proclaimed paparazzo also wrote that during Yu’s 12 years at Tanu Media, he had multiple chances to rise to fame—but each time, the company allegedly blocked him. According to this post, whenever one of his dramas began gaining attention, instead of supporting him, the PR team reportedly pushed negative stories and sparked online attacks. This strange pattern led many to wonder: why would a company undermine its own artist?
