Description
China keeps reporting economic growth. But behind the official numbers, a very different picture is emerging.
Youth unemployment climbed so high that the government stopped publishing the original figure. Property developers accumulated enormous debts. Housing prices began falling. Foreign investment moved in reverse. And one of the world’s largest economic engines started showing signs that official statistics could no longer hide.
This documentary examines the numbers behind China’s economic slowdown—from youth unemployment and politically managed growth targets to Evergrande, the property crisis, deflation and capital leaving the country.
The real question is no longer whether China’s economy is under pressure.
It is how much damage has already happened—and why the true scale remains so difficult to see.
