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.

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.

Sony Precision, a reputable factory that had been rooted in Huizhou for 29 years, could no longer hold on and chose to withdraw. More than 30,000 people instantly lost half of their livelihood. This is not just 30,000 jobs—it is the economic lifeline of 30,000 families and the complete collapse of an entire commercial street. Once a place full of opportunity, it is now deserted. Look at the empty storefronts one after another—this is the raw aftermath of a major factory leaving.
When such benchmark companies withdraw one after another, we must ask: where should ordinary workers go? Why is the road to employment narrowing with each step? Which city will be hollowed out next? This morning, I woke up feeling like the sky had fallen. Even Baidu and other major companies are laying off people—tens of thousands at a time. It seems… JiaNeng’s entire factory has shut down. Where will so many people go in the future? China’s economic downturn has affected every industry. Business is worsening. Recruitment has plunged. Many people have no choice but to return home early. In many day-labor markets across Guangdong, crowds gather daily searching for work. Many people are unemployed, unable to pay rent, and without travel expenses to return home; they can only sleep on the streets.
