For years, China's economy appeared to be a miracle. GDP surged, skyscrapers rose, and property prices exploded. But according to economist Zhou Qiren, the real story was something else: the cost of operating inside China's system was rising even faster than the economy itself.
In this video, we'll examine how land finance, hidden business costs, and state-driven investment gradually distorted China's economic model. We'll also look at Beijing's recent crackdown on Tiger Brokers, Futu, and Longbridge, and why authorities are now moving aggressively to stop money from leaving the country.
Are these simply regulatory actions, or signs of a deeper problem? As confidence weakens, capital flows overseas, and growth slows, some analysts warn that China may be entering a prolonged period of economic deterioration—not a sudden collapse, but a slow-motion crisis unfolding in plain sight.
