中国　経済危機が社会危機に転じる兆候が徐々に顕在化

Recently, a Chinese net user revealed to Taikigen that on September 20, at Kamishobashi, Kaiden-ku, Beijing, nine young people born in the 1990s jumped into a river and caused a tragedy. According to Taikigen's report, seven people were pulled up and all of them were confirmed dead, but the other two have not yet been found. The information of this incident is strictly blocked by the authorities, but Taikigen has confirmed that this incident is a fact from multiple sources. The specific cause has not yet been made clear. In the video provided by the net user, the police put up a warning line at the scene, and the scene of ordering the spectator to stand is shown. Near the bridge, police officers and emergency personnel were placed, and rescue personnel wearing life jackets were also confirmed to be monitoring the water surface. At the scene, many Beijing citizens gathered, and on the road, police cars and fire trucks lined up, creating a tense atmosphere. Some net users say that in recent years, young people have been killing themselves one after another. They lament that they have never seen such a tragic sight in thousands of years of history. In recent years, suicide cases have been rampant among young people all over China. It is widely recognized that the economic downturn, rising unemployment rates, and the collapse of the real estate market have brought despair to young people. Young people who have bought a house on a high-priced loan have often chosen the path of life in the face of strife and hardships. In May of this year, more than 20 suicide attempts occurred in Taigen. In Nanning and Jiuqing, a sub-district of Ji'an, suicide attempts from the bridge have occurred frequently. In the local government, they patrol the bridge every day to ensure that no one is killed again. On July 1, the anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, an incident occurred in which a female employee of a Chinese state-owned investment bank, Taishan, jumped off a skyscraper and committed suicide. In order to buy a 1,600,000-yuan apartment in Shanghai, Taishan took a loan of 5,000,000 yuan as capital, and with a loan of 11,770,000 yuan, she paid 5,700,000 yuan every month. The collapse of the real estate market and the company's large-scale pensions have piled up, and her economic burden has increased. She did not have hope for the future and chose to kill herself. On August 9, a net user posted that a friend born in the 1990s could not bear the heavy pressure of debt and jumped off the bridge. On the bridge, a friend's ID card and will were left. According to the will, my shop has gone bankrupt in the past few years due to the pandemic, and I have no place to go because of my huge debt. Every day, I get calls from banks and ice cream parlors. The fastest phone call does not stop, and I also made a loan to my best friend. I wanted to protect my family, but in the end I couldn't protect them. It is written that every day is painful and I can't see hope. The net user who posted this video himself has more than 4 million debt, and he sent a encouraging message to those who have the same debt that if they survive, they will have a chance to recover. In today's Chinese society, there is an overall pessimistic atmosphere. No matter how hard you try, life becomes more and more difficult. This kind of sentiment is not only spread among the Chinese, but also among the former elite. According to a net user, he works for a state-owned financial company, and received a notification that he would reduce the monthly salary from September to December of this year to the minimum standard in Beijing, which is 2,420 yen. In addition, according to a net user who works in a bank, he was notified that bonuses are not provided to the middle class, or that the salary is reduced, and now it is one-fifth of the annual income. As you can see from these examples, people who used to be the middle class and high-income people are now affected, and they are losing the power to repay their housing loans. Bloomberg News also reported this phenomenon on the 20th. According to the report, the 43-year-old Mr. Go, who is the executive director of the insurance industry, has reduced his salary to one-fifth. His two children go to international schools, and they are in a situation where they cannot pay their tuition. Mr. Go works hard, but there is no pay, and there is no meaning in his work. Even if the children study hard, they will not find a job. Mr. Go, who is the executive director of a fund company, has a pessimistic atmosphere throughout the industry. There is no hope. You can't decide your fate with your own ability. Snow's sleeping pills are now my best friend. Mr. Go sold his Porsche, and he said he almost stopped eating out. Some experts warn that this kind of economic depression may lead to a more serious social crisis. Professor Christopher Malkis of Cambridge University pointed out that people's despair, which used to be the driving force of the Chinese economy, has the potential to trigger a crisis that spreads throughout society. As you can see, the signs of an economic crisis turning into a social crisis are gradually appearing. Recently, there has been a rapid increase in Chinese officials' incomprehensible deaths. According to a report by the Chinese media Hohhai Newspaper, Liu Wenjie, the chief financial officer of Konan, jumped out of his house on the 19th and died. The Chinese authorities do not disclose the details of this incident, but some media have indicated the possibility that they are involved in a criminal case. The U.A.P. has spread the idea that this topic will be closed soon and that there is something hidden behind the incident. The police of the Shenzhen Provincial Office of Public Works announced the death certificate on July 19, and five people, including Zhao Shihuo, Fu Liu, Zhao Shunqi, Zhao Hongfei, and KAA, are under grave suspicion and have fled on July 19, 2024. The death certificate was released 49 days after the incident, and the details of the incident have not been made public at all. On the Internet, there is information that the five people who were identified attacked the house of the deputy mayor of Kanyang and killed all their family members. As economic pressure and social tension increase, such tragic incidents continue, and the future of Chinese society seems to be in a dark situation.
