Niluh Djelantik, a member of the Indonesian Senate from Bali, has consistently opposed the project. “Even if you give me $100 million, I would never ride that elevator,” she said. “The Elf Beach is beautiful as it is. For some people, appreciating its beauty means putting in the effort, walking to the base of the hill to enjoy the view. Beautiful sights must be experienced with the heart, not just by building an elevator.”Join this channel to get access to perks:

China is rearming Iran after Israel’s devastating bombing earlier in the year. And Shein is selling stuff that will get this episode demonetized!Operation Honey Pot: Paste this emoji 🍯 in your comment below.

Despite China’s stock market surge in 2025, BYD’s shares lag due to dismal Q3 results: revenue fell 3.05% to 195 billion yuan, while net profit plunged 32.6% to 7.82 billion yuan. Sales dipped 1.82%, with per-vehicle profits shrinking 33.7% amid easing price wars. Overseas volume hit 700,000 units (up 132%), but can’t offset domestic erosion in a 6-7 million-unit global market excluding the U.S.Balance sheet alarms include 31.8% inventory bloat, aggressive factory builds, and R&D at 7.72% of revenue—yet no profit uplift. Debt soared 641%, sales lean on budget models, and premium efforts flop. BYD faces five hurdles: forging brand premium, monetizing software/services, navigating geopolitical overseas risks, stemming used-EV depreciation, and scaling energy storage. Without solutions, its volume-chasing model risks collapse.

China’s population collapse is no longer a distant warning — it’s happening now, in plain sight. Hospitals are going bankrupt, marriages are turning into government campaigns, and love itself is being priced and measured. In this episode, I’ll take you through three true stories that capture the unraveling of a nation: empty hospitals closing one after another, marriage booths set up in nightclubs, and young couples breaking under the weight of tradition and money. Together, they reveal what it really means when a country begins to run out of people — and hope.

The boat collision still heard around the world and China’s still living in denial about it!

Recently China’s Tiangong space station had a space debris impact that damaged one of the Shenzhou spacecraft docked to it. This has delayed the return of the Shenzhou-20 crew, who were due to depart November 5th. They are now sharing the station with the Shenzhou-21 crew, making for potentially cramped quarters! I decided to listen to the telemetry signal from the station, transmitted at 2250.72MHz. Apparently the station also uses 2232.22MHz, although I didn’t look at that in this video.

Across China, a terrifying reality is unfolding. The promise of education — once the symbol of success — has turned into the greatest illusion of a generation. Millions of graduates are discovering that their degrees are worthless in a collapsing economy.China’s young professionals, once full of hope, now work as delivery drivers, scrap collectors, and livestreamers. In 2025, over 12 million new graduates entered a job market that no longer exists. From Beijing to Guangdong, despair is spreading as companies exploit desperate workers with offers as low as one yuan per month.Even top universities can’t save the youth anymore. Postgraduates are cleaning floors, PhD holders are becoming police assistants, and entire families are questioning why they ever believed in the education system.This isn’t just unemployment — it’s a collapse of the social contract.Experts blame automation, foreign investment withdrawal, and the exodus of Western firms. But behind the statistics lies a deeper human tragedy: a lost generation that studied hard, only to inherit a broken economy.As China’s population ages and jobs vanish, young citizens are turning into “full-time children,” living on their parents’ pensions while society quietly implodes. The nation that once promised a golden future through education is now facing a painful truth — the dream is dead. #ChinaCrisis #YouthUnemployment #EconomicCollapse

When Chinese fast-fashion giant SHEIN opened its first permanent store in Paris, it expected applause — not protest. Instead, France erupted. Demonstrators flooded the streets, unions called strikes, and government watchdogs uncovered illegal products on SHEIN’s platform — from banned weapons to child-like dolls. Within days, France froze the company’s operations, turning a retail launch into a diplomatic showdown. Behind the glittering façade of Paris fashion, a deeper battle is unfolding — between speed and tradition, profit and principle, China’s industrial might and Europe’s cultural pride. This is how the Red Dragon of Fashion met French resistance.

From a retail giant based on “channel dominance” to rapid “capital dominance” expansion, and now a “debt dominance” end, Suning has been dragged into a heavy debt spiral. Many are shocked at how quickly this once-thriving empire has collapsed—just ten years from its peak to its fall.

China’s Shenzhou-20 manned space mission is postponing its return to Earth indefinitely after their spacecraft was hit by what Chinese officials called a “small piece of orbital debris.” In a statement, China’s space agency says that safety checks are underway, but that they’ll hold off on their return which was scheduled for Wednesday. NBC’s Janis Mackey Frayer reports for TODAY.

An experimental reactor developed in the Gobi Desert by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics has achieved thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion, paving the way for an almost endless supply of nuclear energy.

China’s economy looks calm on the surface, but the numbers tell another story. By the end of September 2025, Beijing’s fiscal deficit had soared to 45 percent — nearly 9 trillion yuan against 19 trillion in revenue — and it’s on track to break 50 percent by year-end. To fill the gap, the government is raising taxes, squeezing citizens, and quietly printing money through “outright reverse repos.” This episode breaks down the data, the debt machine behind it, and why these policies could push China’s economy past its breaking point.
