Last year, under the pressure of the CCP’s brutal tech crackdown and ailing economy, big industry firms had no other choice but to cut the workforce and reduce operating costs.

Meanwhile, gaming giant Tencent laid off 7,300 staff between April and September. The outlet noted these layoffs took a toll on the expensive property market of Chinese tech companies. ——————- #

There has been a big movement in the investment world to screen investments based on environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. While it’s good investors that care about the impact of their investments, what’s not good is that those same “woke” investors are funding China’s human rights abuses and environmental destruction. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at the “responsible” investing strategy of some large investment funds, what Chinese companies those funds are invested in, and wh

After two-year of fighting hard against COVID-19, China failed to make the virus disappear from its soil. Instead, stringent lockdowns and other extreme anti-pandemic measures have taken a whack at the country’s economy. Companies became unstable, leading to massive layoffs and the state’s crackdown on the private sector. Bloomberg reported in July that China’s unemployment rate among 16-to-24-year-olds hit 19.3%. It means that 15 million young Chinese are jobless. The problem worsened as summer ended, and

Chinese emergency loans might seem like a good alternative to the IMF for certain countries—they don’t come with strings attached to clean up corruption, improve human rights, or change a country’s financial system. But what a lot of countries that have taken Chinese loans have found is that they do come with other strings attached, and it’s causing a debt crisis.

Protests erupted after people couldn’t get their money out of their bank accounts in China. The CCP found a way to prevent some would-be protesters from joining the protest and dealt with the others who did manage to show up. NATO could move to the Pacific to counter China’s growing threat. And Xi Jinping makes his first trip in years (spoiler: he doesn’t go very far). Watch this episode of China Uncensored for that and more of this week’s China News headlines.

China’s Economy Is Slowing Which Could Have Big Consequences for the World. Economic output grew 4 percent in the last quarter, a slowdown from the previous quarter. Growth faltered as home buyers and consumers became more cautious. Construction and property sales have slumped, as the country grapples with power shortages, Covid-related restrictions, a crackdown on a range of companies, and debt troubles in its property sector. Some of those pressures could ease, but China’s economy may be on the path to sl

Should the media boycott the Beijing Olympics in 2022?
