China Update #3
Auto market crash in China, over 4000 auto dealers out of business. Dealerships regularly charge 400-600% more for services to fleece the customers. In one case they charge 5000yuan for a 5yuan part.
CCP runs out of money, sells confiscated e-bikes to Pakistan and Africa. Most people cannot afford a car and their e-bike has been taken and now they cannot get to work or do their deliver job. The real story is e-bikes and motorcycles were banned in 2016 in many cities because they caused massive slowdown of traffic and now China is cracking down on them. People turn to electric wheelchairs in droves because they are exceptions to the law.
Since people will no longer be able to work, they won’t be able to pay their mortgage, or taxes, which will hasten the collapse of the CCP, with the Chinese people right in middle of it all. Several provinces and cities are completely out of money, in some cases city workers haven’t been paid in 9 months. But the people fought hard for communism. What can one do?
What is the average wage in China?
