#Chinadeepdive

Hello, this is China Deep Dive. We have all the information you need to know about China at present. Today's topic is:
Shenzhen, once the pride of China’s economic reform and Xi Jinping’s “urban dream,” is now facing decline. Qianhai, promoted as a “mini-Hong Kong,” attracted massive investment and visits from China’s top leadership. But today, skyscrapers are empty, shopping malls are deserted, and factories are shutting down.
As manufacturing relocates to Southeast Asia and real estate prices collapse, ordinary families in Shenzhen struggle with layoffs, shrinking incomes, and unaffordable mortgages. From deserted Wanda Plazas to urban villages full of closed restaurants, the dream city is turning into a cautionary tale.
In this video, we explore Shenzhen’s fall, Qianhai’s failed ambitions, and the human stories behind the city’s decline.
