Okay, what's the issue here then?

How am I belittling China? By pointing out statistics that the government themselves put out that the economic recovery from zero COVID and the private sector crackdown is losing steam, and that unemployment is high?

As for the returnees? In neither my OP nor any of the messages that followed afterwards, did I talk negatively of people who decided to rerturn to Mainland China. And if you're referring to that one user who accused me of labeling returnees as "losers," I already addressed it so need to go into that.

Be that as it may, none of this detracts from the issue raised in the OP I was responding to today, from a user who is willing to admit now, that there are economic difficulties in Mainland China and to hope the government can fix it.
Just accept it, the US is turning into a dangerous shithole and people are starting to realize.

China warns chipmaking export curbs ‘just the beginning’​


The caution comes as Washington-Beijing tech war escalates

China’s export controls on key components for computer chip manufacturing are "just the beginning," an influential trade policy adviser warned on Wednesday.

Earlier this week China announced that starting next month, special licenses will be required to export gallium and germanium, two key metals used to make computer chips.

Speaking to the China Daily newspaper, former Vice Commerce Minister Wei Jianguo said that should Washington place tougher technology restrictions on Beijing, the government will escalate the countermeasures. The decision to restrict the export of industrial products and materials containing gallium and germanium was made after thoughtful consideration, he added.

The comments follow a report by the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday that the US plans to restrict China’s access to cloud computing to close a loophole that allows Chinese artificial intelligence firms to bypass the current chip export control rules. Cloud services allow customers to gain powerful computing capabilities without buying advanced equipment, such as chips.

Washington and Beijing have been involved in a dispute over semiconductors and other advanced technologies for several months.

Reuters reported in May that US officials were considering tightening a rule designed to slow the flow of artificial intelligence chips to China by clamping down on the amount of computing power the chips can have. Last October, Washington introduced export control rules, effectively cutting China off from certain semiconductor chips made with US equipment.

China retaliated in May, by banning memory chips manufactured by Micron, the biggest US producer.

This week, Chinese President Xi Jinping called for "stable and smooth functioning of regional and industrial supply chains” ahead of US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s visit to Beijing to discuss economic issues between the two nations.

It’s from SCMP and it’s source of information is from China’s CDC:

China has seen an increase in suicides among young people in recent years, prompting researchers to call for a special programme to help them deal with academic pressure.
The number of children aged five to 14 that died by suicide jumped nearly 10 per cent annually from 2010 to 2021, according to a recent study from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The figure for people aged 15 to 24 fell seven per cent through 2017 then posted a nearly 20 per cent increase the next four years.

So, yes, the information is legitimate.
