Yup, the space is there but tiny. I think if it were the latter, the subtitler may use katakana to avoid ambiguity, i.e. ウンコのほうがうまい

Oh this grey filter we apply to shots of Chinese cities? That’s just a reality filter to show how bad things really are.

Friend here really thinks we’re going after journalists for making imaginary bank, and not Murdoch and his mates.

Welcome! I love your Super Monkey Ball pfp :) we have one site tag line (a little funny sentence or paragraph at the top of page which changes every time you load) and one of them is shit talking SMB so I hope you don’t get it and get turned off.

Hey if you’re not going to read, them maybe you could look at a picture. This propaganda comes directly from the US State Department, reported in Foreign Policy.

Then why block lol

Great video. Bless Boy Boy and their little cotton socks. The followup is a real one-two punch.

I agree, it would be a shame :(

Not sure if conservative joke or greentext but idc

Fair assessment. We dunk on Bernie too though.

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.
