China’s economy is unraveling—and Shenzhen shows it best. Shenzhen, the country’s trade hub, reveals the full impact of the U.S.–China tariff war: exports collapsing, freight shrinking, investment plunging, and consumption falling—even with millions of shoppers crossing daily from Hong Kong. Local officials are finally telling the truth, while Beijing turns to harsh new taxes on consumption, e-commerce, rentals, and VAT. This program exposes the hidden reality behind China’s economic numbers.1. Shenzhen under siege: exports down, freight and investment collapsing2. Beijing’s tax bomb: squeezing citizens through new levies and crackdowns3. Local governments break ranks: truth-telling as soft resistance to Beijing

India claims the Chinese Foreign Ministry ‘misquoted’ Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar as saying “Taiwan is part of China.” India clarified that there was no change in its position on Taiwan. Our guests analyze the possible aims of this alleged misquotation.

China Furious As Trump Closes Tariff LoopholeTrump has officially ended the $800 tariff exemption that allowed Chinese goods to flood the American market duty-free. The White House confirmed this change took effect on May 2nd for China and Hong Kong, with the exemption ending globally on August 29th.The scale of this loophole was massive – over 1.3 billion small packages entered America tariff-free last year, up from just 125 million in 2014. Chinese retailers now face 30% tariffs or $25 per item, rising to $50 after June 1st.This policy change serves multiple purposes: generating up to $10 billion in tariff revenue, addressing security concerns (90% of illegal cargo seized last year came through these small packages), and protecting American manufacturing jobs.Twenty-five countries have already suspended mail to the United States in response, including major economies like France, Germany, and Japan. While critics question whether customs can handle the increased workload, the administration insists they’re prepared.Learn more: www.velocitynewsroom.com#TariffPolicy #ChinaTrade #TrumpTariffs #DeMinimisRule #TradeWar #GlobalCommerce #CustomsEnforcement #ManufacturingJobs #InternationalShipping #ConsumerPrices #HomelandSecurity #PostalServices #RetailDisruption #SupplyChain #AmericanWorkers

The calm waters of the Philippines are no longer just about beauty and beaches. They have become the center of global attention.In recent weeks, Japanese destroyers, American fleets, Australian ships, and even European navies have joined Philippine forces in the West Philippine Sea. Why? Because whoever controls this stretch of water controls one of the world’s busiest trade routes, vital energy reserves, and food supplies for millions.China claims almost the entire South China Sea, building artificial islands and heavily armed bases despite a 2016 international ruling against it. The Philippines, backed by allies including the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Australia, is standing firm.This is no longer a local dispute—it is a global struggle over freedom of navigation, sovereignty, and the balance of power in Asia.👉 Will the Philippines become the frontline of a future conflict—or the symbol of international unity against aggression?#philippines #southchinasea #china #westphilippinesea #usnavy #japan #australia #globalsecurity #geopolitics #economicpowerhouses #philippines #viral #video #travel #blowup #news #viralvideo

Recently, China’s aviation industry faced a major shakeup. The country’s top airlines are planning to order nearly 1,000 aircraft from Boeing and Airbus. The news inadvertently revealed the serious issues China is facing in manufacturing large civilian aircraft and instantly turned the much-hyped C919 into a joke.For many years, China’s state-owned aircraft manufacturer, COMAC, backed by the CCP regime, has invested over billions of dollars in an attempt to weaken the market position of foreign plane manufacturers and reduce China’s reliance on Boeing and Airbus. But what about COMAC’s production capacity? According to data from aviation consulting firm Cirium, COMAC planned to deliver about 75 aircraft this year, but as of mid-August, the company had only delivered 5 C919s to Chinese customers, far below the expectations of Chinese airlines.J

In this video I discuss the latest data and ongoing problems within the Chinese Economy. Chinese businesses are under severe pressure with producer prices falling, the economy has stalled and added to this the USA represents the largest single export market for China’s exports and those exports are now facing additional Tariffs and huge uncertainty. If the current trading conditions continue the Chinese Economy is at risk of imploding and will not come close to hitting the target GDP growth figure of 5.0% for 2025.

Why is a Ukraine-Russia ceasefire so difficult to achieve? The answer may lie in Beijing’s covert hand. According to Professor Yuan Hongbing, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin plotted to lure Trump with the Nobel Peace Prize as bait—hoping to secure U.S. concessions on Taiwan. At the center of the scheme was Liu Jianchao, Xi’s trusted intelligence and diplomacy chief, whose sudden downfall exposed the plot and deepened CCP power struggles with Wang Yi. This video uncovers the secret Xi-Putin bargain, the CCP’s internal rivalry, and why Ukraine and Taiwan are now bound together in one dangerous axis.1. Beijing’s strategy on Trump.2. Liu Jianchao’s downfall 3. How the Russia-Ukraine ceasefire ties into the three-way game between Washington, Beijing, and Moscow.

Warren Buffett just made his verdict clear: America is king, Japan is a bargain, and China is a casino to avoid.At the Berkshire Hathaway meeting, Buffett praised Japan’s trading houses and pledged to hold them for decades. But when asked about China? His answer was savage: “Nothing.”Why? Because in China, rules change overnight, fraud is common, and Xi Jinping’s regime can wipe out trillions with a signature. Buffett’s philosophy is simple: don’t invest in what you can’t trust.Meanwhile, Ray Dalio bet big on China and lost. Buffett stayed away — and preserved billions.

In July 2025, China’s housing market faces a severe crisis, with Beijing leading a 1.1% month-on-month decline in second-hand home prices, followed by Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. The collapse of these key markets signals a broader real estate downturn, with transaction volumes plummeting up to 35%. State-owned enterprises are tasked with absorbing 408 million square meters of excess inventory, but the allocated 300 billion yuan falls short. This crisis, coupled with declining retail sales and industrial output, is eroding middle-class wealth, with 70% of household assets tied to real estate. The shift toward a state-controlled rental system raises concerns about deprivatization and political compliance. The collapse of Evergrande and widespread unemployment in construction signal a fracturing social order, as real estate, a quarter of GDP, impacts over 60 industries, threatening economic stability and social trust.Help me grow the channel by donating any amount through the link below—your support makes a difference!https://paypal.me/DonXiangEmail me: [email protected]:00 Intro0:07 The Shattering of a Stronghold1:33 A Market in Freefall2:23 The State Steps In3:32 A Drop in the Ocean4:45 The Wealth Reset5:21 Economic Ripples6:52 A Dire Predicament7:25 A Fractured Social Order8:34 Human Toll of the Collapse9:39 Dreams Turn to Dust10:48 The Rise of State Control11:30 A Frozen Economy12:44 A Loss of Faith13:32 Wealth in New Hands14:15 A Nation at the Brink

A nationalistic Chinese tourist recently starred in a squabble at the Chinatown in Yokohama, Japan. Apparently the visitor was mad at seeing row after row of Taiwan flags at a local restaurant, and went inside to demand they be taken down. Little did the traveler know that the owner of the eatery was Taiwanese and was not having any of it. Let’s hear more.Member of publicI think it’s a little unreasonable that this Chinese tourist thought to make demands while visiting Japan. They really have been brainwashed. What they need to do is learn to respect how different countries treat us.Member of publicThe restaurant is free to do whatever it wants. If they want to put up any country’s flags, so be it.Member of publicIt’s not surprising that a Chinese tourist would do that. Incidents like these pop up in the news every so often. We face oppression everywhere.Two years ago, a YouTuber featured the 30-year-old restaurant in a video. It turns out, that back then it was already flying Taiwan flags proudly. The eatery is located in Yokohama’s Chinatown, which even has a little stretch of road packed with Taiwan flags. The district was established 160 years ago, and now it’s catching headlines due to unruly Chinese visitors.For more Taiwan news, tune in:Mon to Fri at 9:30 pm on Channel 152Tue to Sat at 1 am on Channel 53

In Chinese politics, a military parade is not just a display of weaponry; it is a stage to expose the power structure. Every name selected as the parade commander is the result of strategic calculations at the highest levels of Zhongnanhai.

Astronauts revealed Life Inside China’s Space Station BETTER & ADVANCED than NASA & SpaceX===#spacezone #space #spacexstarship #starship ===Astronauts revealed Life Inside China’s Space Station BETTER & ADVANCED than NASA & SpaceXMore than 20 years younger, the Chinese space station is less than half the size of the International Space Station. But don’t let its modest size fool you—this modern station is incredibly advanced, both on the outside and within.We’re all quite familiar with life aboard the ISS, so we think we know what living in space looks like. But trust me—once you see how the Chinese crews live inside the Tiangong, it might just change your perspective entirely.Astronauts revealed Life Inside China’s Space Station BETTER & ADVANCED than NASA & SpaceXThe Tiangong space station currently consists of three interconnected modules arranged in a T-shaped configuration, orbiting approximately 400 kilometers above Earth. At its center is the Tianhe Core Module, which links two laboratory modules named Wentian and Mengtian. The cool thing is, although the external diameter of Tiangong’s modules is nearly identical to that of the modules on the International Space Station—about 4.2 meters—the interior of Tiangong feels noticeably more spacious. This impression comes from its modern layout and more efficient use of available space.So, let’s look at the inside of the core module first. The Tianhe Core Module, the first to be launched, forms the backbone of the entire station. It is divided into several interconnected sections. The node cabin serves as a central docking hub, while the life control cabin is split into a larger and a smaller segment. The smaller section houses the astronauts’ living quarters, including their sleeping and hygiene areas, along with fire control systems, onboard computers, and communication equipment. Connecting the living compartment to the rear docking area is the resource cabin, which supports various operational systems. Surrounding these internal sections is an unpressurized service area that contains the station’s main engines, propellant tanks, power systems, and parts of the communication network.Astronauts revealed Life Inside China’s Space Station BETTER & ADVANCED than NASA & SpaceXInside the core module, six zones have been set up for the astronauts – for work, sleep, sanitation, dining, healthcare, and exercise, all fully covered by Wifi.Like I mentioned earlier, one of the big differences with Tiangong is how modern the tech is. A lot of systems are wireless, so they don’t need to run a messy spider web of cables like you see on the ISS. Plus, a lot of the tech is hidden behind plain white panels when it’s not being used, which makes everything look super clean and sleek.

China’s Belt and Road infrastructure projects have plunged some countries into deep debt, with many projects plagued by construction defects. Now, these affected nations have reached their breaking point.Ecuador’s massive hydropower plant, Coca Codo Sinclair, has become the center of a major structural defect scandal. The Chinese state-owned company behind the project will compensate the Ecuadorian government with 400 million US dollars for the damages caused by these defects.

China’s property giant Evergrande has been officially delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, closing a chapter on the world’s largest real estate failure. Once worth over $51 billion, Evergrande now has a value of just $282 million. Its collapse reflects years of reckless debt-fueled growth, unfinished housing projects, and a crackdown on excessive borrowing that has shaken China’s entire property market. With developers like Country Garden also facing liquidation, the fallout is far from over. Millions of homebuyers are left in limbo, creditors are writing off billions, and one of China’s biggest economic engines is broken. Evergrande’s fall is more than a corporate failure—it’s a cautionary tale about debt, regulation, and fragile trust in global markets.

Donald Trump has threatened a 200% tariff on China if Beijing curbs rare earth supplies again. Rare earths are critical for modern technology — from smartphones to electric cars — and China controls 90% of global supply. While Trump points to airplane parts as U.S. leverage, analysts say Beijing still holds the stronger hand.—

China’s economy isn’t just slowing—it’s rotting from the top. In this deep-dive, I unpack Nobel Prize–winning economist Daron Acemoglu’s argument (“China’s economy is rotting from the head”) and show how it’s playing out today: property implosion, local-government debt, youth unemployment, collapsing confidence, and a system that rewards loyalty over innovation. I draw on the Why Nations Fail framework—inclusive vs. extractive institutions—to explain why short-term “miracles” built on centralized power eventually stall.We look at how extractive politics + extractive economics (one-man rule, no accountability, patronage markets) choke risk-taking, freeze entrepreneurship, and turn banks into lifelines for zombie firms. From zero-COVID whiplash to tech and tutoring crackdowns to “common prosperity” squeezes, Beijing has prioritized control over growth—and the bill is due. We also dig into demographics (aging population, falling births), capital flight, ghost cities, and why “concrete ≠ prosperity.”This is not about lazy workers or weak founders—China’s talent is real. The problem is the operating system: innovation by permission slip, profits by proximity, and propaganda over feedback. I compare China’s path with South Korea/Taiwan’s transition toward inclusion and the Soviet Union’s double-extractive collapse to show the forks ahead: stagnation or crack-up.If you care about geopolitics, markets, and the future of Asia, this episode connects the dots—why the rot starts at the top, how it drips through the economy, and what it means for Taiwan, supply chains, and global risk.If this helped, smash like, subscribe, and share.

After vanishing from public view for more than 20 days, Xi Jinping suddenly reappeared in Tibet—but his “grand comeback” raised more questions than answers. Why did he wobble as he walked? Why was he in Lhasa for less than 24 hours? Why did key generals skip the trip, leaving only a disciplinary officer by his side? Do they have anything to do with the 4-point consensus reached by various factions at Beidaihe? In this episode, we break down seven strange clues from Xi’s Tibet visit—and what they reveal about his health, his power, and who really controls the Chinese regime.

China seized the Scarborough Shoal in 2012. Despite a ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague against China’s “nine-dash line” claims in the South China Sea, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy and Coast Guard continue to tightly patrol the area. How do China’s activities around the Shoal affect Taiwan? Our guests share their views.

On July 22, Mitsubishi Motors announced that it’s ending its partnership with Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi Motors Engine Manufacturing Co., and will no longer run the joint venture’s engine business. They’re selling their 49% stake to a company called Beijing SaiMuXu Technology. This officially marks the end of Mitsubishi’s vehicle production in China. After nearly 50 years in the country, Mitsubishi is pulling out completely.
