China doesn’t have 1.4 billion people. The country is experiencing a sudden and severe population decline, which has devastated its economy. This demographic collapse is visible to ordinary citizens, as empty streets, deserted shopping malls, and struggling businesses reveal the reality of a shrinking country. The economic downturn is not just theoretical—businesses across industries are suffering from the disappearance of customers. To address the growing problem of hollowed-out communities, Beijing has begun merging villages as a first step in restructuring rural areas.1.

Recent discussions online suggest that China’s machine tool industry lags 50 years behind Europe, the United States, and Japan. While this claim may seem exaggerated, comparative data indicates a significant gap. In the 1990s, small workshops in Japan were already ahead of China, a country recognized for its manufacturing capabilities. The spindle speed of Chinese machine tools is only a quarter of that in other countries. In the field of advanced CNC machine tools, China has yet to develop its own version, while other countries have already introduced newer generations. This disparity has led to frequent online discussions about China’s machine tool industry. Two commonly cited arguments are the “manufacturing collapse theory,” which suggests that if China loses access to foreign machine tools, its manufacturing sector would struggle, and the “defense collapse theory,” which argues that without Japanese machine tools, China would face challenges in producing aircraft carriers and fighter jets.

There’s speculation that Canada and Mexico could join President Trump’s tariffs on China! That might let them off the hook with tariffs, but will this actually happen?

Let me zoom in and show you. Behind me, there are over 2,000 unsold vehicles packed tightly together. Most of these cars were repossessed from dealerships and 4S stores that went bankrupt. This is Liangshan, Shandong, and these are mostly new cars that have been sitting in inventory for about three years. But their prices are now much lower than brand-new models. Seeing so many unsold cars lined up like this isn’t a good sign. It means new cars are getting harder to sell and losing value faster. To me, this reflects the decline of the entire industry. Do you think there’s still a chance for a recovery?

Philippines Vows To Fight Against China’s Potential Air Defence Zone Move | Spotlight | N18GThe Philippine defence secretary said his country and its allies would take measures to counter any attempt by China to impose an air defence zone or restrict freedom of flights over the South China Sea. The country’s top defence official Gilberto Teodoro said that China’s increasing aggression in the region remains the greatest threat to the national security of the Philippines. Confrontations over the strategic waterway, which Beijing claims almost in its entirety, have spiked between Chinese and Philippine Coast Guard and Navy forces the recent times. Manila’s assertion of a united front against Chinese expansionism means the unfolding of existing and new defence alliances in the region. Apart from the Philippines’ neighbours, it also implies an even more significant defence role for Japan, Australia and the most important treaty ally of all, the United States.—The Philippines | China | South China Sea | Xi Jinping | Gilberto Teodoro | Philippines China Relations | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News#phlippines #philippinedefense #philippinesnews #china #chinanews #xijinping #firstpostspotlight #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews

The Chinese Communist regime operates within a totalitarian framework built on absolute control. Since the start of China’s economic reforms, the CCP has found itself in a paradox. On one hand, it had to loosen control over the private sector to stimulate economic growth. On the other, it could not afford to fully relinquish control, fearing that private ownership and property rights would politically empower citizens and threaten the Party’s authority.The rise of the digital economy has only deepened Xi Jinping’s anxieties, intensifying the CCP’s perpetual struggle to balance economic growth with authoritarian control. It’s proven to be mission impossible.

In China, gold has become a popular investment as shoppers seek safe havens amid economic uncertainty and global tensions, with prices hitting record highs. At Beijing’s Two Sessions meetings, officials expressed confidence in meeting the 5% GDP target by boosting domestic consumption and supporting the private sector, including a $138 billion fund for tech start-ups. The government is prioritizing future industries, highlighting innovations like DeepSeek’s AI chatbot, while financial markets show optimism with Hong Kong shares rallying. However, potential US tariffs pose risks, though Beijing claims readiness with ample policy tools. As economic challenges persist, gold remains a symbol of stability and security for many Chinese citizens.

China’s real estate collapse is killing the Chinese economy. And the CCP can’t fix it.

On March 2, a large-scale protest broke out at the Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP), the country’s biggest nickel industrial zone. Indonesian workers went on strike after the management forced them to take company buses to enter the park. The protest turned violent, with workers setting vehicles on fire, attacking Chinese employees, and clashing with the police.Join this channel to get access to perks:

China’s BYD, the world’s largest electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, released the AI on-vehicle drone system “Lingyuan” in collaboration with DJI, the country’s top drone maker.The drone system, which consists of a docking station on the roof, enabling the drone to take off, charge and track EV travels, can be integrated into all BYD’s EV models. It is now available in Chinese mainland, priced at 16,000 yuan (2,195 USD). And BYD’s Bao8 SUVs integrated with the “Lingyuan” were also launched at the event, with different specifications priced at between 395,800 to 423,800 RMB (about 54,300 to 58,145 USD).

China’s defence budget has grown annually since 2013, reaching $245 billion this year, second only to the US Its military expansion includes the world’s largest navy, with aircraft carriers, assault ships, and advanced submarines. The air force has developed stealth jets and AI-powered unmanned fighters to enhance combat capabilities. A fourth aircraft carrier, expected to be nuclear-powered, is in development. President Xi Jinping emphasises military readiness, aiming not just to prevail but to win future conflicts. Advanced AI and drone technology remain key focuses in China’s military strategy.

Chinese researchers claim they can now detect even the stealthiest submarines—posing a new challenge to U.S. naval supremacy.China has shifted the game by exploring new methods that focus on magnetic detection—an area where submarines cannot easily hide.As a submarine moves through water, it produces a V-shaped surface disturbance known as a Kelvin wake. This disturbance generates a faint magnetic field when ions in seawater interact with the Earth’s geomagnetic field. A revolutionary method for detecting submarines involves analyzing the magnetic fields created by submarine. Other breakthroughs include electromagnetic wave detectors and even airborne “ghost radar” technology capable of emitting low-frequency waves to penetrate seawater and detect submarines hundreds of meters below the surface.

Starting in late 2022, China renewed its construction of its highly capable air warfare destroyers, the Type 052D and Type 055. This is expected to substantially expand its destroyer forces.

On the U.S.-China Relations overview page of the U.S. State Department, every instance of “the People’s Republic of China” was changed to “China.” Moreover, the overall wording in the introduction has become more assertive. How significant are these changes for U.S.-China Relations? Our guests, Chong Ja Ian and Wen-ti Sung, take a deep dive.

China revealed details of its response after the US imposed new tariffs on Chinese exports on March 4, 2025. Beijing has added a group of US firms to its export control list, slapped additional tariffs of 10-15 per cent on selected American goods and announced plans to bring a related case to the World Trade Organization over the matter. China’s actions came a day after US President Donald Trump reaffirmed that he would raise tariffs on all Chinese imports to 20 per cent from 10 per cent, allegedly to punish Beijing for failing to halt shipments of chemicals used to make the drug fentanyl.Supp

Over 1.3 million worth of gold has flooded the market, with buyers cashing in on large quantities. The haul includes massive gold bars—1,000 sourced from industry and commerce—along with an additional 20,000 grams of smaller pieces, fueling a surge in transactions. This gold rush comes as the yuan faces mounting pressure.

China’s demographic crisis is heading to zero births. Is China going extinct?

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has invested billions in building a powerful navy, but its efforts are now under global scrutiny. U.S. intelligence has fully exposed China’s Type 093 nuclear-powered attack submarine, revealing critical details—including its unique acoustic signature, which now serves as an “underwater fingerprint” for tracking. At the same time, China’s military-industrial system is facing internal turmoil. In one case, a senior scientist compromised national security by leaking classified information on laser transmission, electromagnetic catapults, and stealth materials— just for the sake of paying off a 1,000 yuan (137 US dollars) gambling debt.

China’s true population is far lower than the official 1.4 billion. The most devastating factor has been the massive death toll from COVID-19, which the Chinese government has systematically covered up. But now, the truth is becoming undeniable—streets are empty, and people can see with their own eyes that the population has vanished. Across China, one question echoes: Where did everyone go? When the truth about China’s population crisis is finally exposed, it will reveal one of the greatest deceptions in history—a lie that involves the life and death of hundreds of millions.
