But the truth is this: it hasn’t collapsed completely… yet. A housing bubble that swelled for ten years in Shanghai’s core districts is now bursting at the speed of three. Whoever bought at the top? They’re finished. I’m finished. I can’t hold on anymore. Prices are falling nonstop. Over the past two months, Shanghai’s second-hand market has frozen—homes can’t be sold, listings keep piling up, and selling prices are being slashed everywhere.

Yesterday, we finally managed to unload a tiny 69.9-square-meter unit in Songnan, Baoshan District—5th floor, sold for 1.7 million yuan.
But here’s the shock: it was bought for over 3 million. That’s how desperate the owner was. Why not copy the Century Park strategy—list the old price and let buyers choose to buy or not? In fact, I’m telling all owners now: since you can’t sell anyway, raise your prices. Add 10%. If buyers don’t want it, that’s their problem.

"Sisters, this flu is no joke; you all need to take precautions. Our whole family of four has caught it and is still in the hospital. My husband said it's mostly bacterial and viral infections happening simultaneously, and the emergency rooms are packed. This is really serious; apparently, many people have no immunity to this flu."
Recently, the epidemic in mainland China has become increasingly severe, with the flu spreading rapidly across the country and reaching its peak. Children are the primary affected group. Schools across the country are frequently closing due to students developing fevers, and pediatric hospitals are overflowing.
Doctors warn that children's conditions often deteriorate rapidly after infection, potentially worsening dramatically within hours or days. Beijing, Tianjin, Guangdong, and other areas have entered the peak season for respiratory infectious diseases.

China’s Economy Is Crashing, Millions Factories Gone, Citizens Pushed to the Edge of Survival
China is entering one of its darkest economic periods in decades. Across the country, millions are losing jobs as factories halt production, businesses collapse, and youth unemployment reaches historic highs. Housing prices in many regions have plunged by 30–40%, wiping out family savings and triggering a surge of mortgage defaults. Local governments drown in massive debt, manufacturing orders decline month after month, and consumer spending shrinks sharply as households tighten every expense. Once-busy industrial zones are silent, malls are empty, and entire cities show signs of hollowing out. Ordinary people struggle to survive through wage cuts, unpaid salaries, rising debts, and the collapse of small businesses. What was long portrayed as a booming miracle now reveals itself as a fragile shell—an illusion shattered by recession, corruption, and structural decay. China’s economy is not simply slowing; it is unraveling, with society bearing the full weight of the fallout.

Millions at Risk: China’s Fragile High-Rises Sway and Crack Under Simple Storm Winds
In recent weeks, Chinese social media has exploded with two shocking storylines. Overseas, large numbers of Chinese travelers report being denied entry in so-called “visa-free” countries, including airports in Singapore and Malaysia. Many were ordered to return home immediately, while others were held for hours of questioning. The incidents have fueled growing anxiety: is the Chinese passport quietly becoming a “high-risk document” in the eyes of the world?

At the same time, inside China, a relatively mild typhoon has exposed the deep structural weaknesses of thousands of “tofu-dregs buildings.” Concrete peeled off in sheets, walls cracked open, and entire sections of buildings crumbled like biscuits. The scenes sparked nationwide outrage and raised serious questions about corruption, substandard materials, and the long-term safety of millions of residents living in these fragile high-rises.

This isn’t just brick—this is the shocking face of collapsing construction. The steel here has been exposed under the sun for three years, rusted, weakened, and crumbling with just a light kick. The anti-seize coating has completely failed, leaving metal that literally decays to dust. And yet, this is the material used to build homes, bridges, and public infrastructure. It’s the first warning sign of a system in deep crisis.
Who could imagine steel advertised as “environmentally friendly” being ignited by a small flame? But flames race across these bars like they’re soaked in fuel. This is the notorious tofu-dreg construction appearing everywhere in China—corners cut, safety ignored, and quality abandoned. It’s no longer an accident but a trend. And it’s becoming impossible to hide.

China’s New Age of Fear Over 10,000 Protests in 1 Year, Hidden Cameras Everywhere
China is entering a period of accelerating instability marked by spreading local rebellions, a suffocating surveillance regime, deep economic decline, and rising geopolitical tension. Violent incidents such as the Beihai government compound crash and mass resistance to forced cremation policies illustrate growing rural anger and the authorities’ fear of large-scale mobilization. At the same time, hidden cameras in toys, chips in children's shoes, and smart-uniform tracking reveal a surveillance network exceeding 700 million devices by 2025, eroding any sense of privacy. Economically, nearly 80% of citizens fail to reach basic income levels as industries collapse, unemployment soars, and even PhD graduates compete for entry-level jobs. War rumors with Japan intensify public anxiety, though travel patterns show widespread distrust of state propaganda. Typhoon Yagi further exposed fragile “tofu-dreg” construction, while global tech supply chains continue to move out of China. Together, these crises form a dangerous convergence threatening China’s long-term stability.
