How might China achieve continuing useful, purposeful growth? Perhaps by shutting down what is useless and purposeless economic activity. Report: Over 140,000 Chinese Gaming Firms Shut Down in 2021
Computer Games count as growth, but some growth, measured in renminbi, isn't really growth. For example: Heroin. China is aware that Americans' Spending on Illicit Drugs Nears $150 Billion Annually; Appears to Rival What Is Spent on Alcohol

Excessive Drinking is Draining the U.S. Economy
The cost of excessive alcohol use in the U.S. was almost a quarter trillion dollars in 2010. $250 billion counts as economic activity, but does the American economy need more of that kind of activity?

China is also aware that American Video game spending hits record $56.9 billion in 2020

Report: Over 140,000 Chinese Gaming Firms Shut Down in 2021

China's government hasn't been issuing licenses for new games, and companies are shutting down as a result.
China's gaming market is getting a lot smaller.
South China Morning Post reports that the National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA) hasn't approved new games for release since the end of July 2021. That means small and large gaming companies alike haven't been able to introduce new titles for nearly six months.
Larger companies have been able to offset the financial challenges posed by this pause on game releases by laying off employees, according to the report, but smaller companies haven't fared as well. The state-run Securities Daily reportedly said 140,000 such firms have shut down.
South China Morning Post reports that the NPPA "has neither provided an official explanation for the latest suspension nor any hint on when the process for new video game approvals will resume." It previously approved somewhere from 80-100 new titles for release each month.
This ad hoc moratorium on new releases follows the introduction of stricter gaming regulations. Tencent started using facial recognition in July 2021 to stop kids from playing games at night, and that August, the NPPA said minors couldn't play online games from Monday to Thursday.
Similar restrictions were introduced for other services as well. Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, started limiting younger people to just 40 minutes of usage every day in September 2021. (And started to enforce five-second pauses between videos for all users in October.)

China's probably having second thoughts about releasing Covid with Fauci.

China's low death rate from Covid (4,636) probably has something to do with China's intolerance of crooked businessmen such as Trump. (Chinese acting like Trump don't get sued. Instead, a Chinese version of Trump would be shot dead.) The Chinese aren't any more tolerant of anti-vaccination than they are of a Trumpish conman.
Lai “endangered national financial security and financial stability,” said a commentary on the state TV website. The death penalty “was his own responsibility, and he deserved it,” the commentary said.

Make the Chinese GNP only 50% of America's rather than 120% of America's.
No, make it 25%.
It could be kind of the same as Trump's election. Trump arbitrarily reduced the number of votes for Biden and increased his vote count to declare himself the winner. You can do the same with China's GNP versus the USA's GNP. Or with the Covid-19 deaths! No matter what China claims, make your revised number for China twice as much as the number of American dead declared by the CDC.
There are so many problems that could be fixed by Americans using fake numbers!

China's death rate is a lie because nobody dies of Covid.
You should never believe anything that comes out of China's news, dummy.

Quote:There are news stories about Chinese big shots who act like Trump being executed. Chinese stories say the swift removal from power of greedy and dishonest businessmen was necessary for the Chinese economy to grow larger than the American economy. China is telling the truth.

China locks down city of more than a million people after 3 Covid-19 cases found
From CNN's Beijing Bureau
https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/omicron-variant-coronavirus-news-0

A city in central China has gone into lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19, according to local authorities.
The municipal government of Yuzhou, Henan province said all 1.2 million residents will be confined to their homes after just two asymptomatic cases were reported Sunday. A third local asymptomatic infection was identified Monday, the government added.
Barring essential services such as supermarkets, all public facilities including schools, public transport and shopping malls have suspended operations.
Those who work in essentials industries, including supermarkets, medicine production, and energy plants, are allowed to go to work after presenting a negative Covid-19 test, the government said.
China reported 108 new local cases across three provinces on Monday, including 95 in northwestern Shaanxi province, eight in southeastern Zhejiang, and five in Henan, according to the National Health Commission (NHC).
The country also reported 21 new local asymptomatic cases, including 19 in Henan and two in Shanghai, the NHC said. China counts symptomatic and asymptomatic cases separately.
Lockdowns: The Yuzhou lockdown mirrors the strict restrictions imposed on residents of the northwestern city of Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi.
Since December, the ancient city has been grappling with China's largest community coronavirus outbreak since Wuhan, the original epicenter of the pandemic.
To date, more than 1,700 cases have been reported in the city. While the number pales in comparison to those in many other countries, the outbreak pushed China's caseload in the final week of 2021 to the highest level since March 2020.
Xi'an's 13 million residents have been confined to their homes since December 23. Many are growing desperate as they run out of essential supplies, including groceries, and fall short on medical attention.
Zero Covid: Xi'an authorities launched a fifth round of mass testing on Tuesday, vowing to eliminate the outbreak.
But the frustrations of residents underscore the growing challenge facing China's zero-Covid policy, which relies on a playbook of mass testing, extensive quarantines and snap lockdowns to stamp out any resurgence of the virus.
While the stringent measures have largely shielded the majority of the country from the worst aspects of the pandemic, as local outbreaks continue to flare up, the outcry in Xi'an raises the question of just how long zero-Covid can be sustained before public support begins to taper off, with millions of residents trapped in an seemingly endless cycle of lockdowns.

Quote:There is part of China that never had Chairman Mao in control. That part, Taiwan, certainly outshines mainland China economically. Taiwan grows faster than China. America has had its own foolish little Chairman Maos, Trump and George Bush. Both of them managed to crash the American economy in the style of Mao Tse-tung crashing the Chinese economy. Trump literally had his own version of Mao's Great Leap Forward, Trump's Make America Great Again. What a pair of ill-planned economic fiascoes both were. Neither the Communist Party nor Republican Party want to talk about it.

The disconnect from reality is astounding.
Who's a cheerleader for censorship and tyranny in the 2020's again?
If you want to talk about an ill-planned economic fiasco, how about we address Joe Biden's* shit economy right now.
