We share the same direction of thinking.

I think China's greatest threat comes from within. And the brinkmanship is at supply-side structural reform VS unemployment.

The risk has never been this high, given

1. belt and road initiative is already half-busted

2. drastic drop of foreign demand due to pandemic

3. cry for decoupling from all wealthy nations

My point is: the Chinese government has been trying to tell people that they don't need to work in the city. They could work in a rural farm and lead a simple life, albeit earning close to nothing.
