Mate, I’m sending up your solipsistic comment that everyone you’re taking issue with online can only exist in that online space, and that they’re only “communist” when you can identify them as “being obnoxious”. We’re still communist even when we’re not engaging in internet shit fights.

I saw a person doing a thing. This must be the only thing they do, since I haven’t seen them doing other things. I am very smart.

Oh damn is that a nafo pfp dude your off.the chain please give me mlre.of.yojr opinions

Thank you for the citation. The issue here is that ‘out of work’ is not a very useful phrase. Taken at face value, it just means not working and is not necessarily synonymous with unemployment in the way economists use it (i.e. actively looking for work but unable to find it).

This is possibly why queermunist expressed confusion about whether it included students. At first blanch, a ~20% unemployment rate does sound high.

I did turn up a useful SCMP article which highlights:

Since 2018, China has used a monthly survey-based unemployment rate as its main indicator. The data captures all regular urban residents, does not include an upper age limit and the [National Bureau of Statistics] claims it also includes migrant workers…

… to be considered unemployed, a worker needs to have been actively looking for a job in the past three months and be able to start work within two weeks; otherwise, [they are] not counted as employed or unemployed.

I’d like to refer back to the CNBC article (also using a 21.3% unemployment rate for 16 - 24 bracket) which notes that the unemployment for the graduate cohort appears to be temporary rather than structural. It’s not an enviable position to be in, definitely, but I wouldn’t say it’s at the point where students will demonstrate en masse like you suggested.

Who cares about China anyway?

Yeah, I mean, who cares about roughly one sixth of the people who share this planet?

The sources OP is likely citing, such as this one from CNBC (not an archived link, sorry), say it’s the youth unemployment rate, which I would assume does not include students or individuals not actively seeking work.

OP if you’d like to link your own preferred sources please do.

Remember when the USA experienced two consecutive quarters of negative growth (commonly recognised metric for a recession) and then they just said “Ope, sorry! It’s not recessionary enough for us to call it a recession”

We’re all concerned about cross-straits stability and peace, and we all have varying stakes in it. That does not detract from the point that the original article is misleading at best.

Your original comment addressed neither the topic, nor those of the linked thread.

Rather, your original comment bemoaned ‘brigading’ (a non-concept on a federated site) and then provoked respondents with ‘You seem upset’.

This isn’t ‘wrongspeak’, this is no zuo no die. You demonstrated from the outset that you weren’t willing to sincerely engage with any replies, and the replies matched your tone and manner accordingly.

I’m gunna go trim my pubes now, have a good day.

GarbageShoot appears to have gone to decent lengths to respond to your comments in good faith, including linking to threads that address your questions. Instead, you reply you’ve ‘glanced at it’, then divert back to moaning about how people are dog piling you. Then, you close your most recent comment by saying you’re ‘engaging earnestly’ with OP.

We didn’t come down in the last bloody shower mate, you deserve every drop of the PPB.

Um, they did contribute? Didn’t you see the
