China Insights delivers sharp, data-driven analysis of China’s politics, economy, and society.
We connect the dots behind breaking headlines — from Beijing’s power shifts to global market trends — helping viewers understand the real forces shaping modern China.
Stay informed. Stay ahead.
Today, we talk about a sign that looks calm on top, but really very strange.
In 2025, China's money income had negative growth.
This is not a normal change, but the first drop in 5 years.
If we look back longer, it is very rare in over 40 years since changes started.
By normal rules, this should not happen, because the official GDP growth is still steady at 5%.
The economy is called steady and getting better.
Recovery keeps going.
Growth is strong.
One side is steady and getting better growth.
The other side is clear shrink in money flow.
It looks like just a number fight, but it is like a lid lightly opened.
Below it connects the whole economy body.
Real data.
Local ways to live.
Even top leaders real worry.
Below, we start from the data officials said on January 30th.
Dig step by step.
See what this ice and fire split hides.
Rare warning.
40 years.
First money negative growth.
On January 30th, the money department said 2025 money income data shows
whole country total dropped 1.7% from last year.
Center level dropped more.
Down 6.5% from last year.
This is not normal numbers.
This is the first year drop since 2020 virus hit.
If we look back longer, this kind in CCP change open over 40 years history is very rare.
Last time year drop was 2020.
That year, world economy almost stopped.
China big lockdowns.
Company stop work.
Buy things freeze.
Money income drop had real hits.
Clear reasons.
That was a crisis you could see.
But 2025?
No full city locks.
No world supply stop.
No big outside hits like disasters.
Official story.
Economy is steady and getting better.
Recovery power building.
But in recovery story background, money income goes back.
This is not simple up down, but more like a body warning.
3.
Against normal details.
If total money negative growth is a warning, then more worth close look is some against
normal details.
This is also focus of many news like United Morning Paper.
We look one by one.
First, against normal.
Non-tax income big drop.
2025 non-tax income down 11.3% from last year became big pull down for whole money.
Official explain is, past years to steady money asks central bank,
smoke company etc.
big state places pay profits made base high.
Keep taking 2025 naturally can't keep up.
This sounds like reason.
But problem is, it can't explain all.
Money expert Liu Ting said, just base effect not enough for December changes.
Because at year end, tax and non-tax income drop together.
This is not one time profit pay problem, but deeper buy sell shrink.
Tax drop means company earn less.
Trade tax low means market not active.
Say it plain.
Companies can't earn money.
Government can't get tax.
Second, against normal.
Total tax almost stop, but person tax big jump.
Whole year tax income only up 0.8%.
Almost nothing.
But person income tax up 11.5% from last year.
And everyone income feel cold.
This number looks very sharp.
If income no big up, why person tax jump?
Answer not in income really big better.
But in collect powerful add.
2025 many rich people call it world collect tax first year.
CRS world info swap system full cover.
Oversea stuff info back.
Many past hide income now open.
At same time, internet places first finish all tax info send.
Live sell.
Online.
Buy full watch.
Just first 11 months, tax places check 18-18 stars net red etc.
Double high people.
Add tax over 1.5 billion yuan.
Say other way.
Not income big up.
But tax net tighter.
And with person tax big difference is company tax weak.
Value add tax only up 3.4%.
Company income tax only up 1%.
These two are real show economy life core tax.
Third, against normal.
Land money fall apart.
But local income up.
On top, local normal public budget income up 2.4% from last year.
Even better than center negative growth.
But if look deeper.
Find problem.
2025 whole country state land use right sell income only 4.15 trillion yuan.
Down 14.7% from last year.
With 2021 top 8.7 trillion.
Almost half.
Past 20 years, land money almost local government print money machine.
Sell land.
Do build.
Push house price.
Sell land again.
This loop.
Hold city grow.
Hold local money.
But when house land deep weak.
This loop break.
Land no more take money machine.
Then how fill whole?
Answer is.
Sell office building.
Give agency food place run right.
Sell roadside park spot special right.
Even sell view place long earn right.
These stuff sell income count as non-tax fill whole.
On book look income up.
Real is take future earn early.
5% GDP got slapped.
If put these things together.
All point same problem.
That repeat say 5% growth.
How much is real economy power?
Or it more like a careful keep number goal?
Wall street daily once tell a detail.
2024 end when so-called raw economy data sent to Zhongnanhai.
Xi Jinping got very mad.
Even after layers pretty up.
Data still make top mad.
Can think.
This shows CCP economy real feel low to what level.
This detail also leak China economy can make 5% wonder secret.
And now officer place.

2025 company close wave.
Very big.
Net spread number.
Say whole year business close high to 13.17 million.
