@westplanpoint This is a historical meme that circulates within China. Mao Zedong once assessed Stalin as being 70% good and 30% bad. After Mao’s death, Deng Xiaoping characterized Mao himself as 70% good. To some Chinese people, this represents a subtle, recurring cycle.
@Geposterling As the nation faces mounting economic pressure, rising unemployment, and an increasingly difficult job market, issues that were once concealed have begun to surface, becoming all too apparent.
@Geposterling@what1ty@KTPLeGallois By first manufacturing obstacles and then cornering you, they effectively turn you into a victim of the credit system. Throughout this entire process, no laws are explicitly broken, and no direct, actionable harm is inflicted—leaving you with no one to hold accountable.
@Geposterling Rather than taking direct action, these officials exert their influence through the banks they control—tightening credit or pressuring the company where you work. They might orchestrate workplace difficulties to force your resignation, or maneuver to drive you into bankruptcy.
@Geposterling Initially, this system was intended to prevent people from defaulting on loans—a positive objective in principle. However, the encroachment of bureaucracy has opened the door to abuse, as the authority to designate someone a "deadbeat" rests entirely in the hands of officials.
