Um, and do you remember how that ended?
Chinese Economics Thread

I'll just straight up say it in that you do have to remember many members here and other patriotic overseas Chinese in general found spaces like this through a certain rabbit hole known as Reddit.
So when it comes to issues like feminism and demographics, its not surprising to see some rather, colorful opinions to say the least.
To change the topic, analysis of July's economic data and investment activity has been relatively weak. I believe this is the result of the government's recent anti-involution measures in trying to curb unproductive investment and encouraging the leaving of bad/unproductive firms from the market. You can see there has been a meaningful drop in manufacturing investment to 3.9% YoY in July from 6% in June.
This means Q3 will most likely be a weak quarter for economic growth as the government is confident in trade talks with the US due to the constantly refreshing 90 day tariff deadline (so the macro external environment is more predictable) and strong H1 economic growth results (at 5.4% growth), so they want to pursue some of their anti-involution restructuring now. Property investment is still a drag on growth but has leveled out in the past few months, without an obvious rebound yet.

They get money from parents/grandparents anyway. Chinese boomers are a different breed. Reason so many people get to lie flat is because their parents bailed them out.

Yeah I think Chinese parents tend to spoil their kids more. Not only are they more likely to have an only child but kids are encouraged to stay at home, especially with boys as they keep the family name. Traditionally in China, girls leave the family when they marry, so they're pressured to be more independent than boys as they're expected to move out (i.e. creating mama's boys).
This is different than say Anglo-Saxon customs when encourage kicking out as their sons immediately when they turn 18, which pushes them to be more independent. It might be cruel but its much like with Lions, you have kick out the males and force them strong otherwise you won't have strong men to carry the rest of society. Its either sink or swim, you sacrifice many, so one can shine. It's really hard to replicate creating high quality men as opposed to women similar to wild horses. A wild/troubled men who experience hardship will nearly always be a stronger characters than domesticated/tame men are who grow in privilege and civility.

Even "Anglo Saxons" rarely do that nowadays due to skyhigh property values.
