China’s lying about its crop yield again! It’s looking a lot like the greta leap forward!

One Douyin user claimed she spent 70 yuan on a mystery box of crabs, only to be shocked when the package arrived. Instead of receiving just one crab, there were 20! But when she opened the box, she found 20 tiny, dead crabs. The user said she was prepared for something like this, but couldn’t help but laugh at how ridiculous it was.

“President Trump talks about ‘drill, baby, drill.’ We’ve also got to mine, baby, mine. We’ve got to get back into this business,” says U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum.China has a stranglehold on rare earths and critical minerals, controlling at least 85 percent of the refining of the 20 most important rare earth minerals, Burgum says.As secretary of the interior, Burgum oversees nearly half a billion acres of federal land and plays a key role in the Trump administration’s energy dominance agenda.In this episode, we dive into what the Trump administration is doing to end America’s rare earth minerals dependency on China, accelerate energy production, and win the AI arms race against China, which will require major increases in energy supply.We also discuss the government shutdown and how it impacts the Department of the Interior and the American people.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Something eerie is happening in China. Once-vibrant streets are turning silent, subways are half-empty, and restaurants are vanishing overnight. This isn’t lockdown—it’s the collapse of China’s urban heartbeat. Behind glossy GDP figures lies a terrifying truth: China’s economy is grinding to a halt, and its cities are emptying out faster than ever before.Recent transport data exposes the real story—urban passenger trips across China have fallen by 27% compared to last year. Subways, taxis, and buses once full of commuters now echo with silence. From Shanghai to Guangzhou, city life is fading as unemployment soars and small businesses shut down.While Beijing claims 5% GDP growth, the numbers on the ground reveal a nation in crisis. Job losses, shrinking cities, and mass migration back to rural areas are all signs of an economy running out of steam. China’s “miracle growth model” built on infrastructure, cheap labor, and nonstop construction is now collapsing under its own weight.The question is no longer whether China’s slowdown is real—it’s how deep this collapse goes. The world’s second-largest economy stands on the edge of a demographic, financial, and social implosion. As skyscrapers shine brighter, the people who once filled them are disappearing.Explore the truth behind China’s urban decline, ghost cities, and economic unraveling—beyond the official numbers.#ChinaCrisis #EconomicCollapse #GhostCities
