China’s Economy Is Falling Apart! Millions Are in Poverty as Industries Collapse!

This year, countless business owners have gone bankrupt, and suicides are skyrocketing. Honestly, if things continue like this, China is heading straight for collapse. Ordinary citizens are barely surviving. College students are now delivering food, often exhausted to the point of death. In Nanjing, fatalities this year have hit alarming levels. September has been historically grim. Business owners feel the sky has fallen. Don't think it's just your business. Everyone is struggling. People's lives have deteriorated to unimaginable levels. In many areas, society is in total breakdown. People can't survive and are forced to give up. Many return home for the holidays because there's no other choice. Even delivering food now comes with taxes. Starting October 1st, anyone earning over 6,250 yuan will have taxes automatically withheld by platforms. There's no way around it. Business has collapsed so rapidly, it feels like everyone disappeared overnight. Even in first-tier cities like Shanghai, streets are eerily empty as October approaches. The situation is terrifying. In a few years, even finding work for ordinary people will be nearly impossible. I went to an interview today and broke down crying in the restroom. Some have ended up homeless with no options. I managed to find a catering job that provides food and lodging just to survive. But fear and uncertainty are overwhelming. I graduated in 2024 and have been at home for six months, sending nearly 200 job applications, most ignored, or offering only 1,500 yuan internships. Despite my experience, I can't find a job or even a place to live. Beijing's employment environment is brutal, especially for those over 30, and catastrophic for those over 35. It's not a matter of ability. Often we're not even given a chance. The contradiction is obvious. The government wants us to work until 65, yet companies refuse to hire anyone in their 30s. Even people with master's or doctoral degrees can't find work. Many can't survive six months, let alone live a normal life. Families struggle just to put food on the table. Ordinary citizens can't afford medical care, housing, education, weddings, or raising children. Everywhere, money is scarce. Companies, institutions, bosses, employees—all are financially strained. China's economy is collapsing on all fronts. Industries are in depression. Foreign investment is fleeing. Factories are closing. Physical stores are shutting down. College graduates, masters, and doctoral students are delivering food because there are no jobs. Ordinary citizens can't pay mortgages. Defaults are rising. And trust in the system is collapsing. Increasing numbers of people can't even afford food, ending up homeless, sleeping in parks or under bridges, facing life-or-death survival crises. Meanwhile, state media claims prosperity. Only by looking closely can people see the grim reality under the government's control. I'm the only one working like a beast, yet the patent is mine. This test is bound to lose money. A crew member cleans nearby. I've been in clothing for over ten years and never seen a September this bad. September gold, October silver, November gold. Where are the customers now? No one is in the stores, no purchasing power. Business is dying. Today is September 21st. Guangzhou's streets are silent, streets that should be bustling. Without competition, nothing moves. Bosses, September is almost over. How's your business? It feels like a cruel joke. There's no peak season this year, only a never-ending off-season. I don't know how much longer I can survive. Even ice bars aren't selling. Everything is so expensive I don't dare restock. Prices for each item are one or two yuan. Once this batch is gone, I won't replenish. Look, entire streets are deserted. Before they said there were gaps in the area, now all parking spaces are empty. What's wrong with September? How can business be this dead? Every day we make only a few hundred yuan, never a thousand. Only one day this month did we exceed two thousand. In all my years, I've never seen September this poor. Sister Tang said she once sold a thousand yuan, but even that's rare now. You're saying you don't want this location anymore? I don't want it either. Even losing the deposit doesn't matter. I've given up hope. Rent and utilities alone eat seventeen to eighteen thousand yuan a month. Stock piles up unsold. I can't understand how business can be this bad. The streets are full of delivery riders, couriers and errand runners, but no customers. It's surreal. Yesterday, I didn't even open. Today, at this hour, the store is still closed. Neighbors are debating whether to pay rent. Is September always like this? I saw a job seeker comment. This year's hiring market is brutal. Those looking for work can't find jobs, and employers can't find staff. If you fried fries but didn't do it continuously, your experience doesn't count. Over thirty-five? Forget it. McDonald's wants someone from KFC. KFC wants someone from Decos. Matching experience is everything. They even prefer males who can make egg tarts, fry snacks, prepare kids' meals and sing birthday songs. Two years ago, I already sensed this. But it's gotten worse every year. It's tragic. How can anyone survive? An eighty-seven-year-old man is still selling vegetables. He has no choice. He works just to spend. Older workers aren't needed anymore. Clothes are worn out, even torn inside. No money. A few days ago, a company contacted me to hire an accounting assistant for 1,500 yuan a month, no meals or lodging. Rent 800 yuan, utilities at least 150, even eating two instant noodles a day costs over 300. After expenses, 1,500 yuan isn't enough to survive. This isn't working. It's paying to work. I asked HR if the salary could be increased. They said, fresh graduates should be grateful to have a job. If you don't want it, plenty will. When do we retire? Work until you can't, then retire. On September 28, the National Bureau of Statistics released a report claiming China had 857.98 million people, aged 16-59, 60.9% of the population. Mainland cultural worker Mr. Long said these numbers are for show, deceiving domestic people into thinking China's economy is strong and giving foreign investors false confidence. Industrial growth, military, economy, politics, culture, everything is unreliable. Everything is fake. Even graduate employment numbers have stopped being published. This is an evil regime. This is an unreliable regime. Filthy, shameless, beyond words. Nobody cares what you eat or drink. But if you speak, they care. If you listen, they care. If you feel, they care. Even when you share your happiness, someone pays attention. Yesterday, I worked 12 hours and was exhausted. If there's a next life, I would never let anyone force me to climb this high again. Life is too hard. I'm hungry. Honestly, I keep working because if I don't, I won't even have food. Farmers cannot change their fate. In the 21st century, hard work barely feeds us. As long as I can survive, it's enough. But life is unbearably difficult. I have a three-year-old child at home who can't feed himself. I must feed him. Next life, if I can choose, I would never come here. It's too exhausting. Everyone is forced to go to the construction site. I don't even know what happiness means anymore. I started working at 15, doing backbreaking labor, always exhausted. At Zhonghua Garden, 80% of the people are young workers like me. Drained, desperate, broke. At first, the cost of living seems low, but every day it adds up. A typical day costs at least 50 yuan. And when you run out, you're forced to take night shifts just to survive. Night shifts in Kunshan pay 10-15 yuan per hour, slightly more in logistics. But it's literally risking your life for money. Most people can't handle it. Here's a real story. An older sister stayed at the animation park for months. With no money and no one to borrow from, she had to take day shifts. 12 hours for about 140 yuan. Night shifts were slightly easier, allowing secret phone use. Meals were included, but conditions were so harsh, even a dog would shake its head. Yet she signed up anyway. The first shift was full, the second, they counted faces, and she still didn't get in. 12-hour shifts for 140 yuan. Who would choose this life? I'm from a small county in Shanxi. I started working in 2014. Over 11 years, my salary went from 1,000 yuan to barely 2,300 yuan. Not from ambition, just from changing jobs. Had I stayed, I'd still make 1,000 yuan. Many local public kindergarten teachers live like this, earning only 1,300-1,400 yuan after insurance. Life in small towns is harsh. Only civil servants escape it. The rest just survive. Daily work wears you down. My body suffered just to go to class every day. The People's Daily says we shouldn't lie flat, but I've been lying flat at home for nearly two months. I graduated from Shenzhen University seven years ago, and now, unemployed. My last job, a school dorm supervisor paid just over 3,000 yuan per month after social insurance. A year passed. I saved nothing. Expenses consumed everything. Transportation, food, social needs, nothing left. I had no choice but to resign and lie flat. At home now, my costs are low. No mortgage, no car loan, no children. Hardship surrounds everyone. People wait hours for work, exhausted, hoping to survive. Many say, we are supervisors, we don't fear hardship. But the truth is undeniable. Through bypassing the firewall, Chinese citizens see the CCP's corruption firsthand. Economic depression stems from this corruption. Many now formally renounce CCP organizations. A mainland citizen using the name Zhongyuan Caiyun says, Today's domestic market is bleak. Supermarkets are empty. Ordinary people are struggling. And it's all tied to CCP corruption. Believing in karma, he also renounces CCP organizations.
