First negative growth in 43 years
Chinese people’s income decreases by 1.7 trillion yuan, but savings increase by 1.6 trillion yuan
In 2020, people’s income in mainland China decreased by 1.7 trillion yuan, while savings increased by 1.6 trillion more, with consumption data showing the first negative growth in people’s consumption since 1978.
According to a survey conducted by the Family Finance Survey Center of Southwest University of Finance and Economics in the first half of 2020, low-income households with an annual income of less than 30,000 yuan and 30,000-50,000 yuan are expected to see the largest reduction in consumption, indicating that the low-income class has been hit harder than the middle and high-income classes in terms of income, according to Caixin magazine on the mainland. The survey also showed that 26.4% of the surveyed family members reflected that 26.4% of the companies had reduced hiring and 15.5% had reduced salaries.
The Leisure Green Paper: China Leisure Development Report 2019-2020, jointly released by the Institute of Financial and Strategic Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the Tourism Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Social Science Literature Press, shows that the average annual leisure spending of Chinese nationals within the past year was 5,647 yuan. A whopping 44.4% of people spend less than 1,000 yuan a year on leisure consumption. With a total population of 1.4 billion on the mainland, this represents 620 million people (44.4% of the population) who spend only $83 a month on leisure.
Wu Ming-ze, an associate researcher at Taiwan‘s WI Harper Institute, said that the 333 principle is the basic assessment guideline for a well-off society, which means that an average well-off family will spend one-third of its income on living expenses to maintain basic Food and clothing, another one-third on savings, and the last one-third as a source of spending on Life enjoyment and leisure and entertainment.
Wu Mingze said the poll shows that most Chinese people still focus on basic living expenses and spend less on leisure and entertainment, and the proportion of low-income people is still high, they are just living a subsistence life.
The poll shows that the majority of Chinese people are still focusing on basic consumption, but not on leisure and entertainment. CCTV’s “Plain Language” builds momentum
The Communist Party’s Central Television (CCTV) recently aired a special program called “PingYuanXinRen”, which scholars believe is a new round of “God-making” campaign.
On Feb. 18, CCTV aired a special program jointly produced with the Central Propaganda Department, “Ping “Words” Near People – Xi Jinping‘s Favorite Tropes” (Season 2), which was broadcast live on CCTV video, CCTV news client and CCTV.com.
Beijing scholar Ji Feng said, the Communist Party has all these propaganda in advance, all the things are to “unify the mind”. Now it is because there are different voices that Xi Jinping said there are ambitious people in the party, indicating that the party factional struggle is very serious.
Some scholars also believe that the party media’s high-profile propaganda about Xi Jinping is to build momentum for Xi’s re-election to the 20th National Assembly. This year marks the centennial of the Communist Party’s founding, and Beijing is preparing a series of commemorative and propaganda activities, with party, government and military organs around the country studying Xi Jinping’s speeches, among other things, to show their loyalty to Xi.
Current affairs commentator Wei Jin told Voice of Hope that this new wave of “god-making” in the CCP’s propaganda system is led by Wang Huning, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee in charge of propaganda, which is related to the internal and external difficulties of the CCP regime and Xi Jinping himself, and that the more crisis there is, the more it has to be done.
Ma Yun follows in his footsteps? Huang Guangyu is released from prison to talk about his love for the party, or become a model for “rehabilitation”
Huang Guangyu, the former richest man in China, who has been in prison for 10 years, regained his freedom on the 16th. He issued an internal letter to the group on the 18th, talking about corporate “love of the party” and the need to be “under the leadership of the party”, suspected of expressing loyalty to the authorities in response to the Ma Yun purge. Some analysts believe that the authorities may have arranged for Huang Guangyu to serve as a model for “successful transformation”.
According to pro-communist media in Hong Kong and the Chinese media, Huang Guangyu, the former richest man in China and founder of China’s Gome Group, issued an open letter to the group on the first day of work after the Chinese New Year, claiming that he “deeply understands the significance of corporate patriotism and love for the Party” and that the company’s development “should be under the leadership of the Party” and “assume social responsibility. “, “take social responsibility”, and so on.
Huang Guangyu also said that this year is the new start of the 14th Five-Year Plan, “the new era gives Gome new opportunities and new responsibilities”.
The public information shows that Huang Guangyu was sentenced to 14 years in prison in 2010 for the crime of illegal business, insider trading, and bribery of units. The prison authorities said that the sentence was reduced for the second Time due to good behavior during the sentence, and he entered the parole test period from June 24, 2020, and was officially released after the test period expired on February 16 this year.
The so-called new era in Huang Guangyu’s mouth is Xi Jinping’s new era. These words of Huang Guangyu are in line with the official propaganda caliber of the Chinese Communist Party, what with his love for the country and the Party and the enterprise under the leadership of the Party, which means that private enterprises are completely subservient to the Party, including the ability to surrender their assets at any time to save their lives.
According to Zheng Zhongyuan, with Huang Guangyu’s former status and ten years in prison, his remarks are easily reminiscent of Ma’s purge, and he is taking the initiative to show his loyalty to Xi Jinping. Afterwards, the authorities will use him as a model for private entrepreneurs who have been successfully rehabilitated to “convert” more thoughtful entrepreneurs.

Xi Jinping gives sudden green light that U.S. consulate property in Hong Kong will be available for successful sale
Reuters reports that Hong Kong’s Hang Lung Properties was forced to stop its acquisition of the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong’s Hong Kong dormitory property last year because of diplomatic affairs involving China and the United States. The company said on the 18th that the U.S. side has completed its diplomatic obligations and obtained the consent of the Chinese Communist government, and the buyer and seller are handling the completion of the transaction.
The deal was to be completed on Dec. 30 last year, but was halted 10 days before the deal was completed after receiving a notice from the Hong Kong government stating that the sale of the property involved diplomatic affairs between China and the U.S. The deal was halted in September last year when Hang Lung Properties won a HK$2.566 billion bid for the property located at 37 Shoushan Village Road in Hong Kong’s Southern District, which is now the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong.
Apollo.com chief commentator Wang Duran commented that before Biden took office, the Chinese Communist Party stuck the U.S. in the matter of this acquisition. Now that the Chinese Communist Party has released the deal, Biden may have made concessions and exchanged with the Chinese Communist Party in the middle. The Chinese Communist Party simply created this deal out of nothing to exchange terms with the U.S. in exchange for benefits, which is a replica of the Chinese Communist Party’s hostage diplomacy.
