“Western Countries still have a long way to go in seeing through the CCP” – Voice of America: Renowned sinologist Lin Peirui believes that since Xi Jinping came to power and abandoned the policy of hiding capabilities and biding time, Western countries have gradually come to understand the true nature of the CCP, but they are still far from seeing through it. He said, “There are still quite a few people in the political and business circles of the United States who have naive ideas, thinking that the Communist Party is also composed of people, we can cooperate with them, and they can be a responsible stakeholder. For example, in the recent debate about whether to ban TikTok, many well-meaning Americans say that TikTok is something that many young Americans like and can use to express their opinions, it is a tool of freedom of speech, and so on. They do not see the specific role of TikTok, because ByteDance is owned by the Communist Party, and its algorithms naturally steer many news headlines towards pro-CCP positions, causing disruption in the Western world. Some people do not see this, which is a bad thing… Has the thorough understanding of the CCP been achieved? There is still a considerable distance.”
“People not only lack confidence in the housing market, but also lack confidence in the overall economy” – Li Qiang rolled up his sleeves and personally directed the “clearing inventory” of real estate. The recent National Development and Reform Commission meeting has identified “clearing inventory” as the core of market rescue, because the “clearing inventory” led by Liu He in 2015-2016 was a great success. Not only were the unsold houses all sold to the people, but they were also sold at higher prices. Can Li Qiang succeed this time? Impossible. This time, people not only lack confidence in the housing market, but also lack confidence in the entire economy. – @ltshijie
“Who is truly living a happy life?” – How does this country achieve such a high standard of living, where from children to teenagers, from young people to the elderly, everyone seems to be living in such exhaustion? Who is truly living a happy life? – @YunaOnO_2001
“Ceasing loans while not taking back properties, where is the bottom line of financial security?” – Ruling by exhausting the last bit of resources is self-destruction. According to Caixin Net, several banks quietly only require interest payments for mortgage loans, with the principal to be repaid later. Housing loans are the most important assets of banks. It is truly unprecedented that loans are being ceased without taking back properties (presumably unable to sell), where is the bottom line of financial security? During the graduation season of college students, rents in Beijing’s largest community, Tiantongyuan, have plummeted by 500-1,000, a decrease of 10-20%, which is quite surprising. – @chinayvan
“My Most Hated Day” – Although the terrifying memory of the college entrance exam has faded from my body, only leaving behind cognition, I can finally view it with the perspective of an adult, no longer with the near-desperate determination of a high school student facing death, but it is still my most hated day.
