Depends where they are. I live here and I’m not sure where this is, I do know that way more than 50% of escalators I use in the country are just dead due to cost cutting measures.
Tell us what's going on there, is the economy really shit? Are the demographics as bad as they say? Are the EVs really cool like we've seen on YouTube? In general, are things looking up or down? How have the tariffs been recieved?
So hard to get a true sense of what's going on there.
Well reality is a bitch. China is about to fall off a demographic cliff. And their control economy means anyone with capital tries to get it out of the country.
No amount of CCP window dressing can square that circle.
Control economies have a better chance to prevent people with capital from going out of country with that capital.
With automation and AI population aging isn't gonna be a problem as it was in 1990s when Japan stagnated. Look at South Korea. There demographics is even shittier than China's. But their economy is in a much better shape compared Japan in 90s.
And China is better equip to do automation than US for example. Chinese government is already pouring billions on automation while US is cutting costs in anything science and technology related.
Ok what this has to do with Tianmenn square? This is like dragging Guantanamo bay and Patriot act to a conversation about Newyork subway's detoriating infrastructure.
