Is there anything more authoritarian than a government forcing you to fund services you neither want nor use?
Never mind, I take it back.

China's economy is losing momentum:
Fixed-asset investment in China fell -1.6% YoY in the first 4 months of 2026, slipping back into contraction territory.
The decline was driven by a -13.7% year-to-date drop in property development, building on an -11.2% decline in the first 3 months of 2026.
Furthermore, industrial production rose just +4.1% YoY in April, the weakest reading since mid-2023.
At the same time, retail sales grew just +0.2% YoY, the worst reading since China's economy reopened after the pandemic in December 2022.
This comes as car sales dropped -15% YoY, the steepest decline since mid-2022.
Meanwhile, gold, silver, and jewelry sales collapsed -21% YoY, reversing sharply from the buying frenzy seen earlier this year when surging precious metal prices drove speculative demand.
China's economic slowdown is broadening.

They drink less, go out less, and live less.
Milestones like driving, dating, and independence are delayed.
More screens, isolation, and anxiety.
Maybe the “they just don’t to be recorded doing stupid things” crowd are onto something.

Why is everyone freaking out over data centers, I think they look sick. Hell, I’d live in one if they cut my rent a bit.
The vibes would be amazing. I’d feel like a techno-monk.
