Evergrande is just one single privately owned company, private sector itself all together doesn't affect much on mostly state owned industries of China. Same as Huawei and Alibaba and Tecent and Tik tok, China has so many these private companies. I know from Vietnam's perspective they may look massive, but they are nothing comparing to state companies in China.

But Evergrande is not the only one struggling

----------
However, "Evergrande is not the only one struggling," noted Christina Zhu, an economist at Moody's Analytics. Over the last few days, a slew of other developers have disclosed their own cash flow issues, asking lenders for more time to repay them or warning of potential defaults.

In a recent report, Zhu wrote that 12 Chinese real estate firms defaulted on bond payments totalling about 19.2 billion yuan (nearly $4 billion) in the first half of the year.

"This accounted for near 20 per cent of total corporate bond defaults in the first six months of the year, the highest across all sectors" in mainland China, she added.

And the truth still is CN economy is falling, not raising as u guys keep bragging day after day, or something so wrong in CN socieaty ( hundred millions CNese don't have enough money to buy house and raise kids) making birth rate keep falling .

CN economy is falling into middle income trap like Lybia-Argentina when reaching GDP per captia of $10,000. Companies/factories keep leaving CN to avoid high labor cost and 25% tariff. Companies thats still stay in CN mainly bcs CN is one of their biggest market and create just few million jobs.

It'd better for Cnese to stop bragging that if CN economy fall, then another ones will fall , too. No one wanna buy CN cars, even poor Taliban also don't buy CN cars, and 5nm chips is also not made by CN.

Any predictions abt CN fall before CN reach $10,000 are just jokes.

Even Lybia, Argentina also din't fall before their GDP per capita was from $10,000 to $12,000 bcs they failed to make high tech stuff like CN .

Old and new, typical and cosmopolitan, the City of Buenos Aires is one of the most dynamic economies in the region. With a population of three million, Buenos Aires is one of the cultural capitals of South America. The city’s infrastructure, its history and culture, and an architecture that combines the past with Avant-guard designs, are an invitation to the thousands of tourists that arrive all year round.

-----------------

What's wrong with the current debt plan?​

Argentina is due to start repaying the $44 billion IMF loan this year, but in March Fernandez said the debt was too high a burden. Some $3.5 billion is due this year, $18 billion in 2022 and $19 billion in 2023.

The president wants to push back payments for four years, when the economy should be in better shape. He also wants the IMF to cut the surcharges that are levied to encourage speedy repayment.

Looks like a third or fourth tier city in China, by the way
Even Urumqi city, which is a 4th-5th Chinese city in far western Xinjiang province, looks much more modern than this one.

So, what job u can do to get 1,000 USD per month to survive in third or fourth tier city in China as CN GDP per capita is $10,000 ?? food delivery again...and again and still 35 year old = Unemployable??


:LOL:

-------------

Coronavirus leaves China’s over-35s with uncertain job prospects​

  • Amid a tough job market, Chinese jobseekers above age 35 are feeling increasingly insecure about their future
  • Many firms are seen as favouring young and energetic graduates in China, where age discrimination is not illegal

This is true everywhere, in Vietnam bosses like to hire older people? you just become more and more desperate to prove that China is collapsing. China has been collapsing for at least 4 decades, many even wrote many books about it in the past several decades, so, what's new?

In VN, we still hire workers, sanitation workers, drivers even when they are 40, specially sanitation workers. can be at 50, as long as they can do the jobs bcs salaries in VN is just from 200 USD to 450 USD per month, not 1,000 USD like CN.

So, u admit that most of Cnese will become jobless after 35 bcs no one wanna hire 35 year old workers with 1,000 USD ?

U can't deny that even food delivery comapnies also don't hire Cnese after 35.

Lol, don't you know any Chinese who are at 35 without a job? I personally don't know any.

“I’m almost 50. Am I going to look for jobs? No. There’s nothing for me out there. Finding jobs is too difficult,” Huang said. “Just look at how bad business is in those clothing retail shops in Guangzhou, you will get an idea how bad wholesaling and manufacturing garments is at the moment.”
On Zhihu, China’s version of the American question and answer website Quora, a discussion thread called “How does a 40-year-old unemployed individual live on?” has clocked up more than 27 million views since 2019. In post after post, users share their frustration about trying to find work in their middle age.

And the situation only appears to have deteriorated with the pandemic.
-------------------------------------
Tang Ying, 36, has found herself in the grips of insomnia and depression lately while grappling with the possibility of losing her job as a front desk administrative employee at a small tech firm in Guangzhou.

The past year has been a nightmare for Tang: her marriage fell apart and she contracted tuberculosis, an infectious disease affecting lungs.

When she went back to her job after recovering, the company gave her more work than usual, something she perceived to mean they wanted her to quit.

Many places only want people under 35. I have been battling with this thought a lot

Tang Ying

Yet, she has stayed on, concerned her lack of a university degree will mean she is unable to find work elsewhere.

“I’m scared. I don’t have confidence in sending out resumes,” said Tang, who worked at a call centre as a customer service operator previously.

“Many places only want people under 35. I have been battling with this thought a lot. All I think of is trying to hold on to this job.”
-----------------------
A graduate school degree and work experience for some of the nation’s biggest tech companies does not necessarily give you an edge either, said 38-year-old Jim Yang, whose position as a former salesman at telecoms giant Huawei was ended by the firm three years ago.

-----------------


As a consequence, nearly half of the job applicants above 35 fell from middle or high-income groups to low income because their earnings had dropped, according to the study.

More than 70 per cent said they face pressure meeting mortgage payments and other costs, such as children’s education and medical bills. The study also estimated a third of them could only survive at current spending levels for 3 months.

Age discrimination is illegal in many countries, but not in China, which is facing a rapidly ageing population and shrinking workforce after more than three decades of the one-child policy.

Master's dergee in China is ridiculed for being a motorbike taxi driver

October 17, 2021 20:04 (GMT+7)

When the English center was closed according to the government's ban on tutoring, Du Yang was not discouraged, decided to drive a technology car to have more life experience.
Du Yang (38 years old),
a technology driver in Changsha city (Hunan province), is famous in the media and social networks for having a master's degree in international economic law from Sun Yat-sen University.

CCTV reported that Du started driving a motorbike taxi full-time last month when the English center he opened had to close due to the Chinese government's ban on tutoring.

The story of a master as a technology driver quickly attracted public opinion in the land of billions of people. Many people praised Du's positive and realistic attitude, but also commented that this man "wasted talent".

Du Yang considers driving technology as a temporary solution when teaching work has to stop. Photo: The Paper.
His family is also not satisfied with the decision. Du's mother, who values social status, asked him to stop driving a motorbike taxi because he felt "humiliated". His son also advised his father to stop working after being rumored by his classmates.

"I don't see this job as inferior. An educated person can work in any field. I'm having a down time in my career, driving technology is the solution to help me get through the period. this part," Du told CCTV.

Speaking to CCTV, Du said he came up with the idea of running a technology car at the end of last month while waiting to pick up his son at school. At that time, a person mistook Du for a driver and asked him if he would accept passengers.

When he returned home, he decided to choose this profession to earn a living for a while.

"Anyway, riding a motorbike taxi is still better than staying at home. I want to try this job, this will probably be a new experience in my life," Du said.

Du Yang rented a motorbike, bought 2 helmets to go to work. After the first week, he realized that this job did not provide a stable financial source.

"I can earn almost 100 of yuan a day if there are enough guests, but only a few yuan if there are no people that day. I don't expect to make a lot of money from this job, it is just a temporary solution during the transition period. continue," he said.

In the near future, Du plans to return to teaching English to adults, making videos with language topics on social networks.
