China has the technology to power the whole world with solar energy for twelve hours everyday even without batteries. Just solar panels and inverters. Powering even just China should keep all Chinese busy. However unemployment should not be a problem in any country because it can be addressed with government policy. It is whatever jobs that is available that should be shared among all 4 Likes 1 Share |

lawani:Indeed, the Chinese (with over 1.3 billion people and second to India in global population) are doing well in new technology fields BUT the large population of qualified graduates churned out annually even from post-graduate programs CANNOT get employed due to lack of job openings, so they have to make do with blue collar jobs and small urban farming which they didn't read in the University. A news report was published here on the NL front page in 2024 or early 2025 where a young Chinese guy couldn't get a job in investment banking so he had to get a job as a waiter. About 20% of Chinese land is devoted to agriculture due to limited space and this is responsible for the Chinese building highrise residential apartment buildings to conserve land space. An alternative though would be for the Chinese to invest more in vertical farms and aquaponics to grow more crops in small spaces for their huge population which is now second ONLY to India which overtook China in 2023 as the country with the LARGEST population worldwide. 1 Like 1 Share |

AlphaTaikun:The important thing is to get a job then you move up from there overtime. Graduates starting off under employed is common all over the world. I think China is doing a better job of feeding itself than the average country though it is not a huge food exporter like Russia etc. They import things like animal feed and etc but a nation must import something. China isn't doing badly 3 Likes 2 Shares |

lawani:The bolded section of your post is nicely put. However the Chinese Socialist Government is ALSO notorious for online censorships and hiding the real situations and goings on especially on Mainland China. I saw a recent video where the folks of Hong Kong, China are complaining of lack of social and economic freedom in Hong Kong and are migrating out for better economic reasons.This further justifies why Taiwan wouldn't want to join Mainland China and China would have to forcibly take over Taiwan which the Taiwanese would resist. 1 Like 1 Share |

Yarimo and Putindbutt will use this to measure Nigeria and china …. Have you ever heard or seen a Chinese politician stealing so much money that his government will be protecting him ? Or have you heard anywhere that a man with drug case and no past records of himself is ruling china ? |

PulaPower:Yes in the post industrial era. Have you ever heard of unemployment mentioned in history books talking about the pre industrial era? Then solar that we have today can crash power costs massively. If power costs goes down by even fifty percent, that will be a major thing and tech already available can do that |
