China’s Economic Situation Raises Questions Despite GDP Growth
A tweet by the China Research Institute (@Sino_Research) has raised questions about China’s economic performance. Despite a 5.2% increase in GDP, the tweet highlights the country’s declining exports, rising unemployment, a slump in the real estate market, financial crises, and the withdrawal of foreign investment. This situation raises doubts about the authenticity of the reported economic growth.
出口跌了
失业增加了
房地产熄火了
金融暴雷了
外资跑路了就这样GDP还能增长5.2%，
中共是不是把中国人当傻逼啊？
