China’s Foreign Minister Qin Gang has been missing for 3 weeks. He is one of China’s rising top diplomats promoted on a fast track by Xi Jinping. His absence caused many speculations and rumors: from an extramarital affair to his mistress being a foreign agent to his political conflict with the top leadership. Beijing attributed his absence to health reasons. It seems that his disappearance is anything but health-related. It’s a sign of the CCP’s internal political struggle.

In many countries, local governments can technically declare bankruptcy, but this is not feasible in China. China’s executive-dominant social structure, in which central power dominates absolutely, would lead to incalculable consequences if a government runs out of money or faces problems. In recent years, we have often seen news about pay cuts or wage arrears for civil servants and teachers, but these are sectors that do not greatly impact social stability. However, if wages for city management and public

In China, electric vehicles aren’t a just a thing of the future. There are so many EVs in China, they’ve turned into a problem, with graveyards full of new EVs springing up all over the country. That’s thanks in large part to China’s car sharing disaster, which, as you can probably guess, was a government program gone awry.
