These reports are the best. Much appreciated.

The enforced forgetting is becoming too burdensome on the public psyche. To prosper moving forward, they must simultaneously develop an information and ideas based economy and strictly police thought. This is an impossible tightrope to walk.

Thank you for valuable insights., Tony

[raggedcritical]

That b-roll during the obesity section tho.😅

[karenlankford]

If training camps are compulsory, they are prisons.

[danielmcinnes]

Excellent if Tony, as always. Thank you!!!

High rents/mortgage payments in top tier cities limits consumption. Majority of residents do not have multimillionaire relatives to subsidize their lifestyles. Re links obesity, junk food and cancer one rarely sees any reporting on these subjects in the U.S. which is not surprising given corporate profit making that perpetuates these problems.

[raggedcritical]

I’m sorry. Consumption is slowing down “despite Beijing’s best efforts to stimulate it”? Were those really Beijing’s best efforts? If so China is in deep trouble.

I was first in China in 1993 and if you saw a fat child, it was a very rare sighting.

6:56 😂 too much bamboo! But oh So delicious… thanks for the laugh, Tony

I didn't hear anything in your obesity piece on the change in environmental conditions also having an effect on the rise in obesity cancers. The fact that fat can store free radicals from their appalling environment might be more of the issue than just being obese. As always thanks for the hard work, Tony

Wow! I was just thinking about obesity not more than a week ago. When I came to China back in 2011 I started teaching at one of the local universities of the city that I live in and students were insanely skinny, now they're all fat. And I mean a lot of them! McDonald's strikes again!

[johnnydawson]

Your name is Tony! Love your work, Tony. Thanks. Keep it up!

[KT-kinv]

Mmmm, so cooking oil pollution was not taken into consideration for cancer causes.

Good Morning Tony,

The desent report is been happening since January, what have you heard about, Goverment, and Banking sectors layoffs,

the unemployed people taking the food and running away. ?

[aaronmicalowe]

Only in China is the act of "asserting rights" considered a form of protest. In just about every other country in the world that is normal or even encouraged.

Lei's Real Talk spoke to the economy... Leadership don't really care... all defining indicators point to a wartime economy and if so then when framed thru this lens, it starts to make more sense the decisions the CCP are making.

[kateryan]

Great news. Let's all further help the Chinese out by reducing any Made-in-China purchases whenever humanly possible.
