China’s internet regulator on Monday launched a sweeping two-month crackdown targeting “malicious” social media content, including pessimistic economic commentary and posts promoting “negative outlooks on life,” as concerns mount over widespread youth disillusionment amid the country’s economic struggles.
The Cyberspace Administration of China announced the nationwide campaign will target content deemed to incite “violent or hostile sentiment,” including posts that spread claims like “hard work is useless” or “studying is useless”. The initiative comes as China faces record youth unemployment of 18.9% in August 2025 and persistent economic headwinds.



Nah China is another level entirely. During covid people were litterally locked in their homes and screamed through their windows for hours at a time while drones were flying around telling everyone to shut up. The rest of the world still has a lot of work to do.

That’s harrowing.
Collective stupidity has to reach unimaginable depths in order for this to ever be deemed acceptable.
I feel when you raise people in that idealogy they stop being critical thinkers.

Fucking lol
I do.
China doesn’t allow freedom of speech or freedom of the press, so anything negative about them is true until proven false.

Turns out it was true, so hopefully you can learn something here.
I doubt it, though. You seem pretty average to me.

You need to brush up on your reading comprehension, then.
