Gao Zhibin and his daughter left Beijing on Feb. 24 for a better life, a safer one. By the time they touched American soil in late March, Mr. Gao had lost 30 pounds. The most harrowing part of their journey was trekking through the brutal jungle in Panama known as the Darién Gap. Mr. Gao said he thought she might have drunk dirty water. Dragging themselves through the muddy, treacherous rainforests of the Darién Gap, they took a break every 10 minutes.

When Zhang left his village in northeastern China a decade ago to work as a welder in a big city, jobs were plentiful. He pays $55 a month in rent for a tiny studio apartment but pinches every other penny. The morning we talked, he said he’d had a bowl of instant noodles, one of two meals he eats a day. Mr. Zhang’s family grows corn on a tiny patch of land, generating about $200 a year. At 28, Mr. Zhang, who asked that I use only his surname, is not married and does not plan to have children.

They posted videos on social media of the time he promised that China would remain open to the outside world. They even noted the economic growth target for the first year of his premiership: 7.5 percent. The death Friday of Li Keqiang, 68, prompted spontaneous mourning online. Mr. Li served as premier, China’s No. Among many Chinese, Mr. Li’s death produced a swell of nostalgia for what he represented: a time of greater economic possibility and openness to private business.

☆ China May Ban Clothes That Hurt People’s Feelings. People Are Outraged.
  + stars: | 2023-09-11 | by ( Li Yuan | More About Li Yuan | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In the 1980s, people in China could land themselves in trouble with the government for their fashion choices. Flared pants and bluejeans were considered “weird attire.” Some government buildings barred men with long hair and women wearing makeup and jewelry. Patrols organized by factories and schools cut flared pants and long hair with scissors. The Communist Party was loosening its tight control over society little by little, and the public was pushing the limits of self-expression and individualism. The battle over the height of women’s heels and the length of men’s hair embodied the struggle.

Two years ago, as she walked through a hospital hallway in handcuffs and shackles to get tested for Covid, Sun Junli felt ashamed and defeated. The poor village girl in northwestern China had become a successful businesswoman. In 2018, state-owned banks abruptly stopped lending to her business, a chain of cafe restaurants, and the pandemic destroyed her cash flow. By May 2021, Ms. Sun had lost her restaurants, and she was serving 16 days in detention for owing her employees about $28,000 in wages. “We all came from nothing and worked hard to create wealth,” Ms. Sun said.

☆ As China Falls Into Deflation, the Mood Turns Dark

Consumer prices in China fell last month for the first time in more than two years. Chinese banks extended $47.5 billion of new renminbi loans, tumbling 89 percent from June — and half the amount of a year earlier. China slipped into deflation after the government’s draconian “zero Covid” policy drastically suppressed consumption and business activity last year. With anxiety running high, people are already saving more and spending less. He bought apartments in two complexes in 2019 and the developers of both stopped building after running out of money.

☆ When Tragedy Strikes in China, the Government Cracks Down on Grief
  + stars: | 2023-08-14 | by ( Li Yuan | More About Li Yuan | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Many innocent lives were lost to tragic events in China in the past month. So far we haven’t learned a single name of any of them from China’s government or its official media. Despite an outpouring of public grief and anger around the country, the government never released their names. Social media posts sharing their names and tributes to their lives were censored. Then there were the people — probably dozens, possibly hundreds — who died in severe flooding in northern and northeastern China in recent weeks.

☆ What Cuisine Means to Taiwan’s Identity and Its Clash With China
  + stars: | 2023-08-08 | by ( Li Yuan | More About Li Yuan | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Taiwan is a self-ruling island of 24 million people that is officially known as the Republic of China. About only a dozen countries recognize it as a nation because China claims it as one of its provinces. Taiwan is called “Chinese Taipei” by international organizations and at the Olympic Games. The ambiguity of Taiwan’s nationhood contrasts with a growing Taiwanese claim of identity. For many people, it’s through food, one of the things the island is known for, aside from its semiconductor industry.

☆ Beijing Offers Love, but Chinese Entrepreneurs Aren’t Buying It

In the darkest moments of the financial crisis in 2008, former Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao lectured a group of U.S. government officials and business executives in New York. “In the face of economic difficulties,” he said, “confidence is more precious than gold.”The Chinese economy then was teetering. Today it’s sputtering, facing the dimmest prospects in decades, and China’s leaders are learning the hard way exactly what Mr. Wen meant. Beijing unveiled a 31-point set of guidelines on Wednesday to bolster the confidence of the private sector. But in private, others I interviewed dismissed the party’s pep talk in words that can be best translated as, “Save it for the suckers.”
