Most striking in the data is that China has lost pride of place as the biggest exporter to the United States. That distinction now goes to Mexico. Most of this change is due to the independent efforts of American buyers to diversify away from China .. 数据中最引人注目的是，中国已经失去了美国最大出口国的地位。 现在，这种区别属于墨西哥。 这种变化大部分是由于美国买家在中国之外独立努力实现多元化
European figures are less complete, but reports from Berlin’s Statistisches Bundesamt show that German imports from China overall fell some 13% over the past year 欧洲的数据不太完整，但柏林联邦统计局的报告显示，过去一年德国从中国的进口总体下降了约 13%
Japan and South Korea have also disengaged from China, at least to a degree. The statistical interpretation depends on the complex nature of the relations between these two economies and China. Much of their trade revolves around Japanese and South Korean operations set up in China. Japan and South Korea export parts, components, and supplies to their China operations and import the finished products back to their domestic markets. The data on imports from China may not yet be readily available, but Chinese sources indicate that Japanese and South Korean exports to China have fallen, indicating a de-emphasis of their China-based operations. It is also telling that at the same time, Japanese and South Korean exports to the United States, according to Washington’s Bureau of the Census, have increased and now surpass China’s. 日本和韩国也至少在一定程度上脱离了中国。 统计解释取决于这两个经济体与中国之间关系的复杂性。 他们的大部分贸易都围绕日本和韩国在中国设立的业务进行。 日本和韩国向其中国业务出口零部件和用品，并将成品进口回国内市场。 来自中国的进口数据可能尚未公布，但中国消息人士称，日本和韩国对中国的出口已经下降，表明它们不再重视在华业务。 与此同时，根据华盛顿人口普查局的数据，日本和韩国对美国的出口有所增加，目前已经超过中国。
Investors, consumers and homeowners — and just about everyone in China — are making adjustments to what appears to be a “new normal” of slow growth for an economy that had been white-hot for decades.
Chengdu homeowner Zhong Weiyi, 58, worries whether his shrinking home value and pension will support the golden years he once envisioned.
The mass of Chinese youth who cannot find jobs — over 20% by most estimates — is more and more reducing their discretionary spending and making more purchases on secondhand or surplus-item platforms.
“It’s so easy to be fired these days,” said Guo Qingfeng, an IT worker at a large tech firm in Zhongguancun, billed as Beijing’s answer to Silicon Valley, in reference to the leverage companies have to hire and rehire because of the enormous labor pool.
The U.S. is considering slapping sanctions on Chinese companies it believes are helping Russia fuel its war in Ukraine, members of Congress told CNBC. Lawmakers may “very soon” follow similar proposals from the EU, in what would mark the first direct penalties against Beijing over its alleged military support for Moscow. “China has to understand that the same kinds of sanctions which are beginning to really take hold in Russia … can also be applied to China,” Senator Gerald Connolly said.
As China grapples with the fallout from a $7 trillion stock decline, officials are gearing up to brief President Xi Jinping on measures to stabilize the market. This move signifies Beijing’s urgency to restore investor confidence and halt the market’s slide, which has erased a significant value from Hong Kong and China equities since their 2021 peaks. The Shanghai Composite Index, for example, is down over 21% from its high in December 2021.
The downturn has been attributed to a variety of factors, including regulatory crackdowns, geopolitical tensions, real estate defaults and internal economic pressures, prompting a call for decisive action to prevent further damage to consumer confidence, especially as the country approached the Lunar New Year holiday.
No. The Biggest threat to China economics is You, Xi, not your spacegoat. Xi just fired China’s top markets regulator. It shows his focus is still on control above all else.
在经历了多年来最糟糕的一周后，中国大陆市场周一再次暴跌。上海和深圳市场有1800多只股票， Tens of thousands of people in China are flocking to an unusual venue to vent their outrage about the continuing meltdown in the country’s stock market.
They’ve been posting comments on a Chinese-language social media account of the US Embassy in Beijing expressing anger and frustration with the market rout.
Chinese nationals detained trying to cross the U.S-Mexico border.
why so many of Chinese are want to leave their “Heaven of the Earth” under Xi jinping’s Country ? Huge numbers of Chinese illegal border crossings have been caught by border patrol of USA and South Korea. 为什么这么多中国人想离开习近平统治下的“人间天堂”？ 美国和韩国边境巡逻队抓获了大量中国非法越境人员。
A lot of North Korean escape North Korea and doing risky running to South Korea. Now, The same to Chinese. 许多朝鲜人逃离朝鲜并冒险逃往韩国。 现在，对中国人来说也是如此。
Migrants, undeterred by policies designed to reduce illegal entries, have been crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in unprecedented numbers. Last year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection recorded two-and-a-half million instances of detaining or turning away people attempting to cross into the United states from Mexico. One man, a college graduate, said his trip from China took 40 days. He said he had traveled through Thailand, Morocco, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua on his way to the U.S border.
The gap is a global destination, littered with travel documents from around the world. With the help of a translator, “60 Minutes” met some of the Chinese migrants coming through, including a teacher, a banker, some small business owners and a factory worker.
Unlike the migrants who make the grueling journey through Central America, some middle class migrants from China arrive with rolling bags. Some said they took flights all the way to Mexico.
Many flew from China to Ecuador because it doesn’t require a visa for Chinese nationals. Then they flew to Tijuana. The migrants said they connected with smugglers and paid $400 for the hour-long drive to the gap at the border.
The migrants knew about the hole because of TikTok. Posts on the app reviewed by “60 Minutes” featured step-by-step instructions for hiring smugglers and detailed directions to the border gap.
Once through the hole, the migrants walk about half a mile down a dusty road and wait in line for U.S. Border Patrol to arrive so they can surrender.
Why more Chinese migrants are turning to the U.S.-Mexico border For years, millions of Chinese entered the U.S. with a visa that allowed them to visit, work or study. But in the last few years, those visas have been increasingly difficult to secure as tensions between the two countries have grown. In 2016, the U.S. granted 2.2 million temporary visas to Chinese nationals. Just 160,000 were granted in 2022.
With visas more difficult to acquire, many are turning to the U.S. southern border, where they cross illegally, then wait to be picked up by Border Patrol agents.
Popular Chinese outlets have been suggesting that events in Texas have led to deep divisions in the US widening to a point where unrest has become a stark reality. More than 6.3m migrants have crossed into the US illegally since the beginning of 2021 – record highs that have intensified a standoff between President Joe Biden and Texas Governor Greg Abbott. As part of his Operation Lone Star, Mr Abbott has sought to block or deter entry into his state, including by installing about 30 miles (48km) of razor wire barriers along the city of Eagle Pass. …..
Here are China’s Fake news through their internet.. (All China’s Internet services are under control of governement. So,, All these kinds of Fake Newsin China could be think that it has beem released by China Givernment.
…..A Voice of America journalist Wenhao, who specialises in Chinese online disinformation, posted on X that the “biggest US related news on China’s internet for the past few days is Texas governor declaring war with the federal government, which did not happen in reality”. “Netizens are cheering for what they call America’s self destruction,” the post added.
Social media users in China on Friday, for example, were able to read reports that Florida’s Republican governor Ron DeSantis is sending up to 1,000 members of the National Guard to Texas.
China often publishes such reports as a response to Western governments issuing critical comments on China’s handling of issues in Xinjiang, Hong Kong or Taiwan. It’s a way of saying: focus on your own backyard, instead of telling us how to run our country.
U.S. charges Chinese companies, executives with fentanyl crimes The official also said that Beijing in November submitted 145 drug-related incidents to the International Narcotics Control Board Database — a tool used to share information internationally about suspected trafficking activity — the first time since 2017 that the Chinese government had done so.
In November, Beijing also issued a public notice, warning domestic producers of more than 50 precursors that they face potential legal action in sending the chemicals abroad. They also warned of possible “entrapment” by foreign authorities and said exporters should exercise caution when shipping items to countries including the United States and Mexico.

In Henan, thousands have gathered to protest the death and possible gruesome murder of a 14-year-old student, as well as the government’s apparent complicity in helping the school cover it up. According to reports from “Li Laoshi” (@whyyoutouzhele) on Twitter and the “Yesterday” (@YesterdayBigcat) protest-tracking account, the student’s family was notified at 6am on December 24 that the deceased died in an “accident” at school, but was not allowed to see the body until late afternoon, when they discovered that the student bore signs of torture.
Because the school refused to release video footage or any other evidence, and because of suspicious circumstances related to the timing of the death, the family believes that the school was attempting to stall and hide what really happened. On December 27, ….

China’s economy has been struggling to recover post-pandemic, and its real-estate crisis isn’t helping. President Xi Jinping’s administration is now looking at other industries for growth.
But the real culprit of China’s arrested development is likely the fact that after aborting a generation of its baby girls, its women today are protesting motherhood accordingly.
In the past five years alone, births have fallen by 40%, and for the first time since Mao’s Great Leap Forward caused the deaths of 50 million people, China’s population contracted in 2022 to the tune of 850,000 people. In 2023, births dropped by another 1.7 million, or 18%, according to leaked population data. Given the deaths of 11 million people, the data, which Chinese censors tried to memoryhole, mean that China’s population shrank by a staggering 3.12 million last year.
Beijing has tried to beckon its women to close their eyes, think of the Chinese Communist Party, and push out babies nine months later. Chinese women aren’t having it.
“Molly Chen, 28 years old, said the demands of caring for aging relatives and her job as an exhibition designer in Shenzhen leave no room for kids or a husband,” Liyan Qi and Shen Lu report from China. “Chen followed the story of Su Min, a retiree who video-blogged about her solo road trip around China to escape a bad marriage. Chen said that the story, as well as online videos that women post about their lives, have deepened her impression that many men choose wives mostly as caretakers — for children, husbands, and both sets of aging parents.”
Zhongzhi applied for bankruptcy on the grounds it could not pay its due debts and its assets were insufficient to pay all its debts, a court in China’s capital Beijing said in a statement on Friday.
The court said it accepted Zhongzhi’s bankruptcy liquidation application in accordance with China’s enterprise bankruptcy law.
The worsening woes at Zhongzhi, a major player in China’s $3 trillion shadow banking sector — roughly the size of the French economy — add to worries that the country’s property debt crisis is spilling over into the broader financial sector.
The company, which has sizable exposure to China’s real estate sector, apologized to its investors in a letter in November that said it was heavily insolvent with up to $64 billion in liabilities.

China claims to have eliminated poverty, but the figures mask harsh challenges
中国声称已经消除了贫困，但数字掩盖了严峻的挑战
the country’s poverty alleviation campaign dominated headlines posted on social media, with some discussions censored after Internet users questioned the figures. “Can someone tell me what the official standard is for eliminating poverty? Why can I still see people on the street begging?” one asked on the microblog Weibo. Another joked, “China has eliminated absolute poverty. That’s right. Everyone is just relatively poor.”
It is important to clarify that our findings refer only to extreme poverty, defined as the inability to purchase essential food, shelter and a few basic necessities.
China’s impressive industrial development has, of course, led to substantial improvements in access to modern appliances, information technology and other goods. But when it comes to access to basic nutrients and housing, a large share of China’s population appears to have suffered during the move to a market economy.
Our findings have important implications. They suggest that although industrial development is an important goal, it can’t be relied upon to cut extreme poverty in and of itself, at least not in the context of capitalist reforms and social policy retrenchment.
Public ownership, price controls, and universal access to social services, of the kind advanced in China before the market reforms, can be at least as effective, especially at low levels of economic development.
