"China's true youth unemployment rate could be 40%"

Posted by the resident turbolib in a group chat.

China's economy is just like that of Palestine before the genocide started. Everybody knows this.

There were more really informative links too and totally not at all just making shit up with imaginary numbers:

lol China’s TFR is 0.6. There will not be a Chinese century. There may not even be a Chinese decade

When I want unbiased information on Bad Country I always go to the Wall Street Journal, as they have no axe to grind as we all know.

I know a couple of people that are on this weird "China is secretly a failed state" shit, it's super delusional
- At least with this some part of their brain accepted that China is fucking awesome and the brain worm is fighting that with "That's has to be a lie"
  
  True

inb4 the chinawatchers cant read mandarin (and USAID cuts meant their translators were fired) so when the files moved to a new website they just declared them "vanished".
- The reds under my bed are hiding the soy sauce production figures 😱

wait until they hear about america's actual youth unemployment rate
- Western governments: Growth in Pokémon sales in china was not linear between 1990 and 2020 therefore the gdp statistics must be made up
  Also western governments: The unemployment rate should not include the long term unemployed and the inflation rate should not include the cost of energy & food or rent (90% of most people’s expenses)
  
  One of the Stalin-holodmor-starvation-spoon stats was a decrease in melon output in Ukraine. The thing that's definitely a staple in Ukrainian diet and also not a crop that gets immediately rotated out for something cheaper when a famine starts.

Most western countries use extremely warped methods for unemployment statistics to help pretend that it's an individual's fault they can't find good employment. The US frequently reports the U-3 category as 'unemployment', when U-6 is closer (and still underreported). The UK unemployment rate excludes people out of work for 4 weeks (and many other exceptions like 0-hour contracts, or outside circumstances obstructing them).
The true rates are almost always at least twice as high.

  Shit, that suggests 5-6x higher than reported in the US. Certainly believable.

China's doing the inhumane one child policy!! Vs. China's doing the inhumane not having babies I plan to use as slaves!!

Anyone who fuesses about birthrate I assume is a pedophile. While this is oddly likely to be true I am just doing it to be toxic.
- Might not be too far off. All these demented goblins who shriek about fertility rates want to use them as an excuse to rescind women's rights and bring back child marriage.

Steelmanning this by accepting it all as true:
God damn, witness the power of central planning to absorb shocks and shortages

china doesn't exist, i dunno why seppos get so mad about it. they live in number 1 country in the world and should tip their landlord and health insurance if they didn't use it that year
- The existence of China is just another one of those Chinese lies.

Lmao I love it when they don't have any proof so they just make shit up. It makes it so obvious to me who the correct side is.

  Unfortunately most people uncritically believe everything about China that is spread by western media/"independent" media
