    Reaching 20% in cities as the CCP plans to send them back to work in the fields. How long can Xi hold the house of cards together with that kind of youth unemployment and manufacturing decreasing?

    Hong KongCNN —
    As the jobless rate among China’s youth soars, the country’s richest province has offered a highly controversial solution: Send 300,000 unemployed young people to the countryside for two to three years to find work.

    Guangdong, the manufacturing powerhouse that abuts Hong Kong, said last month it will help college graduates and young entrepreneurs to find work in villages. It also encouraged rural youth to return to the countryside to look for jobs there.

    This is one of the reasons I think that China may invade Taiwan. It will distract the population and a war economy usually is stronger. It makes sense in no other way.

    Interesting, didn’t know that. High unemployment and a 40M shortage of women in China… sounds like a recipe for a disaster to send a bunch of horny unemployed young men to the fields.

    They want the educated youth to perform manual labor? The nerve.
