CNA is desperately hoping that China becomes less competitive. CNA does this by attacking education. They want Chinese kids to learn from the West, to smoke pot and drop out from school. Surely that'll be a path to success.

Not sure that's good. What if you had a mental illness that didn't allow you to be better than your parents? Will you expect the same of your children, and what if they have mental illness that prevents them from being better than you? I think the expectation that things will become better is not only a false illusion but also dangerous. We don't drive our cars and expect nothing bad will happen, and as a result not wear seat belts. Why should we move forward in life expecting things to get better all the time? It's dangerous and foolish. Better to live in reality day by day and see where you and your children go in life.

@@sohu86x Of course that is a very special case. I'm talking about my case specifically. My parents were the traditional type that has high expectation, signing me up for after school activities, frowning on video games, expect either a career in the medical or engineering field. They have a very outdated view on mental illness which is if they can't see it then it doesn't exist. I do give them credit for not seeing it as an excuse because they saw the results of extreme pressure on my cousins. Growing up in a Western world with more exposure and awareness to mental health I will of course will not pass those type of pressure down to my kids. Will that means I will not pass down those values down to my kids? Nope. There is a reason why Eastern culture has the kind of success it has globally. Everything in moderation. Everything has a risk. The culture is slowly shifting in a good way.

There are countless children who developed mental illness due to parental and societal pressure. In my generation, I have 2 cousins who were both top students. One developed OCD, the other developed schizo affective disease. Ironically, all of the other cousins who didn't/couldn't excel academically were all mentally normal. Childhood, school, and even work life, are just too cut throat. I don't know what I did right in the previous life, but coming to America for school and work wss the best thing to ever happen to me. I feel really bad for my 2 cousins. They were very smart as well. Our parents constantly used us to compare and pressure each. To see them crack under pressure was a fate they didn't deserve.

Personal experience: A friend of mine from my teenage years always wanted to show his parents that he was capable but they kept calling him useless because he had talents they didn't care for and weaknesses that they describe as a disgrace to the family. He broke eventually and his parents threw him out. He already had terrible anxiety and this developed to severe depression and personality disorders. Luckily me and my friends helped him out and we did what we could. He relies heavily on meds just to function but hey he lived. That's what matters. However, he has difficulties a lot of the times to get out of bed and doing simple things quite a bit. If he needed to talk to someone, I do what I can to speak to him. In Asian culture especially, the moment you do anything that is considered a "disgrace to family" such as having a mental illness you're likely to be disposed off like that as my friend sadly went through. There are worse things in life than death itself.

In the context of the current economic downturn driven by the CCP’s "involutionary" political policies and the deeply ingrained culture of social comparison, it is unsurprising that many, particularly young people who have grown up in a hyper-competitive educational environment, are experiencing heightened anxiety and uncertainty about their future. This pressure is compounded by exploitative labour practices, such as the infamous "996" work schedule, which demands long hours at the expense of personal well-being. The combination of economic strain, social pressure, and relentless work expectations could be described as a "capitalist CCP-style" syndrome-a fusion of capitalist exploitation and authoritarian control that leads to both psychological and economic stress. The real challenge for the CCP is whether it can evolve beyond its rigid, patriarchal mentality and self-serving agenda to address these growing pressures before the label "Sick Man of Asia" resurfaces in a modern context. The regime’s current strategy-focused on maintaining control, stifling dissent, and perpetuating its top-down governance-only deepens societal frustrations and widens the disconnect between the state and its people. To genuinely alleviate these concerns, the CCP would need to take bold and unprecedented risks. Foremost among these would be abandoning its tight grip on power in favour of policies that promote individual well-being, safeguard labour rights, and foster social mobility. Re-engaging with the international community, especially developed economies, is crucial for revitalising China's economic outlook and addressing domestic discontent. However, this would require the CCP to relinquish some of its authoritarian control and embrace reforms that encourage innovation, protect workers' rights, and open up the economy to more meaningful global collaboration. Yet, such changes would challenge the very foundation of the party's entrenched power structures, which thrive on centralization and corruption. Shifting away from a patriarchal, top-heavy governance model to one that empowers citizens and welcomes external influences is not just a political challenge but an existential one for the CCP. The central issue is whether the CCP is willing to take the necessary risks to loosen its control in exchange for long-term stability, social harmony, and economic growth. Failure to do so not only risks further alienating the population but also increases the likelihood of internal unrest and prolonged economic stagnation. The question is not merely how the CCP can adjust its policies but whether it is capable of fundamentally reforming its approach to governance before the internal and external pressures it has created become too overwhelming to manage.

China at the time which just came out of Qing Dynasty, 1910 civil war, then Japanese invasion, I would say the base population are pretty much mentally ill too from all the trauma & let’s not forget many are still opium addicts. So for better or worse, this many death can be said to help China in longer term as many of these “undesirable” populations has been “cleared”, kinda like how black plague that kill off half of the Europe population that put them through dark age and then finally renaissance. I am not condoning mass murderer, only speaking from objective point of view. China at the time are left with problematic, superstitious, drug addicts, mentally ill, basically a huge population with PTSD.

This is all thanks to how CNA chose to approach this topic: choosing interviewees from Shanghai (the city infamous for worshiping the West), interviewing an economist for an investigative report on mental health, and blaming mental health issues on a lockdown that has saved countless lives from a deadly virus (Shanghainese are the ones constantly whining that they can't go out and have fun). The mental health industry can be quite lucrative, no wonder CNA is eager for China to have an ... overproduction ... of mental health patients.
