Tell us about your good experiences.

Pretty basic really; I think there are heaps of AN threads addressing your probing question.....but..... good long term wifey & family.

50/50 split between city & village life. Beautiful country & people plus a fresh challenge most days.

Try not to overthink your dislike of things that you do not understand or maybe haven't experienced.

Comprende?🙃🙃

What CIA.gov propaganda site did you get that number from?

 

40% unemployment?

 

Try 5%.......

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109881/surveyed-monthly-unemployment-rate-in-china/

It's 21.3% for 16-24 year olds and 5% national average. In March 46.5% of 16-24 year olds were neither employed or at school, which means the figure for youth unemployment is probably higher in truth, but the qualifying criteria of "unemployment" is designed to push it down.
Whichever way you look at it, that's quite troublesome for the economy.

So where are all the Chinese going?

Do the Chinese still poo in the street?

Cool beans.  The national unemployment rate is not 40%, it's about 5%.

 

I'll go on the assumption that anonymous guy who registered for an account and whom's first --- and only --- post is felon gang propaganda is, you know, the thing.

 

Thanks!

40% is likely excessive, but stats provided by the Chinese government have never been reliable and are influenced by political concerns. It is very likely much worse than 5%.
