Nature’s Red Flags You Shouldn’t Ignore. AI-Generated.
[Music] One day, the hand of Ross McFersonen, a teenager from Scotland, suddenly turned red and started hurting badly. Soon, a painful blister appeared. It was the size of an orange. This made it hard for Ross to even dress himself. The discomfort was unbearable, and he needed doctor's help to get rid of this nightmare. Turned out he accidentally brushed his hand against the harmless looking plant while riding his bike near his home. All this nightmare was caused by one very dangerous plant, the giant hogweed. The giant hogweed is a group of toxic lookalike plants that are known as Britain's most dangerous plant.

17 Facts About China's COLLAPSE That Seem Fake (But are 100% Real!). AI-Generated.
China is facing disaster. Not in some distant future—right now. For decades, we've heard about China's unstoppable rise. The economic miracle. The superpower in waiting. The country that's supposedly eating America's lunch while we argue on social media. But behind the gleaming skyscrapers lies a nation on the brink. What we're about to show you in this video will absolutely blow your mind—because the truth about China is far more shocking than anything you've been told. Fifty million empty apartments threaten to wipe out the life savings of hundreds of millions of Chinese families. China imports 85% of its soybeans and could face mass starvation if those imports were cut off. The Chinese government destroyed its own tech industry, wiping out $1.5 trillion in market value overnight. And China's military—despite its massive size and budget—has a fatal flaw that makes it far weaker than it appears. And we’re just getting started. As China's problems multiply, this weakness becomes increasingly dangerous for global stability. The signs of collapse are everywhere if you know where to look. Let's dive in with the most visible crisis that's already sending shockwaves through China's economy... 1. REAL ESTATE APOCALYPSE China's economy is built on the largest real estate bubble in human history—and it's imploding right now. An astonishing 70% of Chinese household wealth is tied to real estate according to the People's Bank of China, compared to just 25% in the U.S. Housing prices have fallen for 28 consecutive months according to China's National Bureau of Statistics, with no bottom in sight. The scale is mind-boggling: 60 to 80 million empty apartments as of August 2023—enough to house the entire population of Spain—sit unsold across the country. That's approximately $13 trillion of housing inventory going nowhere, according to Rogoff and Yang's research published in the American Economic Review. Major developers like Evergrande have collapsed, defaulting on over $300 billion in debt. Ghost cities stand half-finished, concrete skeletons abandoned mid-construction looking like something out of "The Walking Dead." The situation has become so dire that homeowners have started mortgage boycotts, refusing to pay for homes that will never be completed. Over 400 stalled projects across 86 cities have seen payment strikes according to researchers at the University of Hong Kong. When millions of families realize their life savings are evaporating, social unrest will follow. And it's already beginning. But what's happening with housing is just the tip of the iceberg. The debt situation beneath the surface is beyond comprehension... 2. MOUNTAINS OF DEBT China's debt-to-GDP ratio has soared to a staggering 345% according to the Institute of International Finance—significantly worse than the United States (123%) or Japan (266%). Every year, China prints more fake growth to keep the economy afloat. But the debt is piling up faster than the economy is growing. It's like watching someone dig a hole to get out of a hole. The numbers will shock you: According to the Bank for International Settlements, China added $45 trillion in debt since 2008—equivalent to creating an economy the size of Germany every two years, but all on borrowed money. The game works like this: When the economy slows, the government orders banks to lend more money to build more things—mostly unnecessary infrastructure and empty housing. This creates jobs and boosts GDP statistics temporarily, but saddles the country with ever-increasing debt. It's like using one credit card to pay off another. It works until it doesn't. And when it finally stops working, the collapse will be spectacular. What's happening at the local level is even more alarming than the national crisis... 3. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE BANKRUPT China's local governments owe over $12.3 trillion according to Goldman Sachs—and they've run out of ways to pay it back. For years, these governments relied on selling land to developers. But with the real estate market collapsing, that revenue stream has dried up. Land sales revenue plummeted by 38% in 2023 according to China's Ministry of Finance—the largest drop in a decade. The results are catastrophic. Cities can't pay salaries. Hospitals are running out of cash. In Henan province, government workers have seen their salaries cut by 50%. In others, public servants are being paid in groceries instead of money. The numbers are staggering: Local governments spent approximately $1.3 trillion on "zero COVID" measures in 2022 alone according to the Financial Times—money they simply didn't have. They're now sitting on debt equal to 76% of China's entire GDP. So where do desperate local governments turn when they need cash? To banks, of course. But China's banking system is hiding a secret that will leave you speechless... 4. BANKING CRISIS China's banks are sitting on a powder keg of bad loans that threatens to detonate the entire financial system. According to the Bank for International Settlements, non-performing loans in China are actually closer to 20% of GDP—about ten times what official figures admit. That's $3.8 trillion in loans that will never be repaid, enough to bankrupt the entire banking system several times over. Meanwhile, legitimate small businesses can't access capital. The system is designed to keep the façade intact, not to create actual growth. Bank runs have already started in smaller regional banks. In Henan province, depositors found their life savings frozen, prompting rare public protests. When they tried to withdraw their money, their health QR codes mysteriously turned red, preventing them from traveling to bank branches. This might sound like conspiracy theory stuff, but it actually happened: The government literally used COVID tracking apps to stop people from withdrawing their money. If that doesn't terrify you, nothing will. People are losing faith in the system. When trust in banks evaporates, the financial system collapses. But there's an even more fundamental crisis threatening China's future – the country itself is disappearing at an alarming rate... 5. POPULATION COLLAPSE China's birth rate has fallen to a record low of 6.39 births per 1,000 people according to China's National Bureau of Statistics—less than half the rate needed for population replacement. Despite abandoning the one-child policy, young Chinese couples simply aren't having babies. Housing costs are too high, education is too expensive, and work pressure is too intense. The truth is shocking: China's population declined by 1.39 million people in 2024 alone, marking the third consecutive year of decline, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. The rate of decline is accelerating, driven by the lasting effects of the one-child policy and rising economic pressures on families. By 2100, China's population could shrink to around 633 million, according to UN projections—less than half its current size. A shrinking population means fewer consumers, fewer workers, and fewer innovators. No economy can grow long-term with a rapidly declining population. It's basic math. And here's where things get truly terrifying: this population collapse isn't just a future problem – China's workforce is already vanishing at a rate that defies belief... 6. CHINA'S WORKFORCE COLLAPSE China's working-age population peaked at 997 million in 2014 and has been shrinking ever since, according to Statista. By 2050, China will have 217 million fewer workers according to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences—a drop larger than the entire U.S. workforce. By 2050, China will have more retirees than the entire population of the United States. These aren't projections from Western think tanks with an agenda—these are China's own numbers. China is facing the prospect of getting old before it gets rich—a demographic trap no major economy has successfully escaped. It's like trying to save for retirement after you've already retired. The most devastating part? The workforce collapse is hitting just as youth unemployment reaches crisis levels... 7. UNEMPLOYMENT NIGHTMARE China's youth unemployment hit a staggering 21.3% in June 2024 according to Trading Economics. The situation became so embarrassing that Beijing simply stopped publishing the numbers. Tens of millions of college graduates can't find jobs matching their education. They've coined a term for themselves: "full-time children," moving back in with parents after failing to launch careers. The numbers are jaw-dropping: In 2023, China produced 11.6 million college graduates according to China's Ministry of Education. At current unemployment rates, about 2.5 million of them are jobless, creating a dangerous pool of educated, ambitious, and deeply frustrated young people. Throughout history, unemployed youth have been the kindling for political upheaval. The Arab Spring didn't start with middle-aged people complaining about politics—it started with young, educated people who couldn't find jobs. The social contract in China has always been simple: sacrifice political freedom for economic opportunity. But what happens when that economic opportunity disappears? The answer will reshape global politics for decades. But the worst part is yet to come. With so many unemployed young people, you'd expect China's manufacturing sector to be thriving. Instead, something unprecedented is happening that's sending shockwaves through the global economy... 8. FACTORIES ARE LEAVING CHINA China was the world's factory—but companies are fleeing in droves at a pace that's hard to comprehend. Apple is aggressively shifting iPhone production to India, with plans to produce 25% of all iPhones in India by 2025 according to JPMorgan. Nike and Adidas have moved much of their manufacturing to Vietnam. U.S. imports from China dropped by 22% between 2022 and 2024 according to U.S. Census Bureau data. This exodus is happening for multiple reasons: Rising labor costs as China's workforce shrinks. Increasing government interference in business operations. Growing fears about a potential conflict over Taiwan that could disrupt supply chains overnight. The numbers are brutal: Foreign direct investment in China plunged 80% in 2023 according to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, reaching its lowest level since the 1990s. This isn't a blip—it's the beginning of a fundamental restructuring of global supply chains away from China. Once a company leaves, it rarely comes back. Each factory that relocates represents not just current job losses, but future opportunities that China will never see. The "world's factory" label made China rich. Losing it will make China poor. But that's nothing compared to what China did to its own tech sector. What comes next will make your jaw drop... 9. TECH COLLAPSE For years, China's tech sector rivaled Silicon Valley. Companies like Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance appeared unstoppable. Then the government destroyed them in what might be the most spectacular act of economic self-sabotage in modern history. Xi Jinping feared tech giants had too much power, so he launched a brutal crackdown that wiped out over $1.5 trillion in market value from Chinese tech companies according to Bloomberg. That's the equivalent of erasing the entire economies of Australia and New Zealand combined—overnight. Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, vanished for months after criticizing government regulators. When he reappeared, his company was being dismantled. The gaming industry lost billions after strict regulations limited playing time for minors and froze new game approvals. China's AI and semiconductor development has been crippled by U.S. export controls. Despite pouring $50 billion into chip manufacturing, China remains 5-7 years behind Taiwan and the U.S. according to the Semiconductor Industry Association. In 2021, China ranked #1 globally in tech IPOs. By 2023, Chinese tech IPOs had plunged 87% according to data from Refinitiv. You can build a tech sector in decades, but you can destroy one in months. But all these economic problems pale in comparison to a much more fundamental threat—one that's literally drying up before our eyes... 10. WATER CRISIS China is running out of water, and the consequences are more severe than anyone wants to admit. According to China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment, 86% of groundwater in major agricultural regions is polluted, much of it too contaminated for any use. The Yellow River—which supports 160 million people—is drying up, losing 15% of its flow since the 1990s according to research published in the Journal of Hydrology. The North China Plain—home to 400 million people—faces such severe water shortages that the World Resources Institute identifies it as one of the most water-stressed regions on Earth. Water tables are dropping by 3 feet per year according to research published in Nature. Without water, China's farms and factories will grind to a halt. Cities will become unlivable. You can print money, but you can't print rainfall. The numbers are staggering: China has 20% of the world's population but only 7% of its freshwater. Twelve of China's 23 provinces face extreme water stress according to the World Resources Institute. This isn't just an environmental issue—it's an existential threat to China's survival as a unified nation. And it leads directly to perhaps the most shocking vulnerability in China's entire system... 11. CHINA CAN'T FEED ITSELF Despite all its economic power, China has a deadly secret: it cannot feed its own people The country imports 85% of its soybeans according to the USDA, 15% of its rice, and depends heavily on foreign food to survive. If a war, pandemic, or climate disaster disrupts these imports, China faces mass food shortages that would make empty grocery shelves during COVID look like a minor inconvenience. China's food imports have skyrocketed 1,000% since 2000 according to UN Comtrade data. The country spent $140 billion on imported food in 2023 alone—more than any other nation on Earth. Food security isn't just an economic issue—it's existential. Throughout Chinese history, dynasties have fallen when they failed to feed the population. The Chinese Communist Party knows this well; it rose to power during a period of widespread hunger. A country that can't feed itself is perpetually vulnerable. No matter how many aircraft carriers China builds, it can't escape this basic reality. You can't eat aircraft carriers. And speaking of vulnerabilities, there's another resource crisis that keeps Chinese leaders awake at night... 12. ENERGY DEPENDENCE China depends heavily on foreign energy in ways that create critical strategic weaknesses. The country imports 73% of its oil according to China's National Bureau of Statistics, much of it through sea lanes that could be easily disrupted in a conflict. China's strategic petroleum reserve can only cover about 80 days of imports according to the International Energy Agency—well below the 90-day minimum recommended for energy security. In a scenario where China faced a naval blockade, its economy would literally shut down within months. Factories would close. Transportation would halt. Cities would go dark. The numbers are alarming: China's oil import dependency has grown from 30% in 2000 to 73% today according to China's National Energy Administration. Despite massive investments in renewable energy, China still gets 56% of its energy from coal, much of it imported. This vulnerability shapes China's military planning and foreign policy. It's why China has invested heavily in its navy and built artificial islands in the South China Sea. But the fundamental weakness remains: China needs energy imports to survive. All these economic and resource problems are creating something the Chinese government fears more than anything else... 13. CRIME AND SOCIAL UNREST As economic pressures mount, social stability—the Chinese government's highest priority—is fraying in ways that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. According to the China Labour Bulletin, protests and labor disputes increased by 30% in 2023 compared to 2022. Workers riot over unpaid wages. Homeowners demonstrate when their half-built apartments are abandoned. The middle class protests when their bank deposits are frozen. What's truly shocking: According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, China spends $216 billion on internal security compared to $209 billion on its military. That's right—China spends more money controlling its own people than it does preparing for external threats. In Xinjiang province alone, China has detained over a million Uyghurs according to UN estimates. Ethnic tensions simmer beneath the surface in Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and other regions. The social contract that maintained stability for decades—economic growth in exchange for political compliance—is breaking down as the economy falters. And when that social contract fully dissolves, the consequences will reshape global politics. But China's problems aren't just domestic. Its ambitious plan to dominate the global economy is facing a catastrophic failure that will leave you stunned... 14. BELT AND ROAD FAILURE China's Belt and Road Initiative was supposed to be Xi Jinping's legacy—a global infrastructure network extending Chinese influence across continents. Instead, it's becoming a financial disaster of historic proportions. Partner countries are defaulting on Chinese loans, leaving China with trillions in unpaid debts according to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The numbers are staggering: China has lent over $1 trillion to more than 150 countries, much of it to nations that can't possibly repay. Sri Lanka couldn't repay its loans and was forced to hand over a strategic port to China for 99 years. Pakistan, one of China's closest allies, has repeatedly asked to restructure its Chinese debt. Over 40% of Pakistan's external debt is owed to China according to the World Bank. According to research from AidData, 42 countries now have debt exposure to China exceeding 10% of their GDP. Many of these loans were made with predatory terms, including collateral requirements that let China seize assets when countries default. What was meant to expand China's power has instead drained its resources and generated resentment. Belt and Road countries increasingly view China as a predatory lender, not a benevolent partner. But China's global strategy isn't the only thing failing. Its core economic engine—exports—is sputtering in ways that threaten the entire system. 15. COLLAPSING EXPORTS AND TRADE WAR PRESSURE China's once-booming exports are under unprecedented pressure from all sides. According to the Peterson Institute for International Economics, U.S. tariffs now cover 66.4% of Chinese imports, up from just 7.5% in 2018. The European Union has imposed anti-dumping duties on everything from electric vehicles to solar panels. India and Vietnam are rapidly replacing China in key manufacturing sectors. Vietnam's exports to the U.S. have grown by 180% since 2018 according to the U.S. Census Bureau. India has overtaken China as the world's fastest-growing major economy. China's trade surplus fell by 30% in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, according to data from China's General Administration of Customs. Chinese exports to the U.S. have fallen from $540 billion in 2018 to $427 billion in 2023 according to the U.S. Census Bureau. China built its economy on exports. Now, the world is moving on, and there's no plan B. But if all these economic, demographic, and resource problems weren't enough, China faces another threat that might be the most dangerous of all... 16. XI JINPING'S TOTAL CONTROL Xi Jinping has eliminated rivals and consolidated more power than any Chinese leader since Mao Zedong, making China effectively a one-man dictatorship. This might sound like strength, but it's actually China's greatest vulnerability. When all decisions flow through one person, the system becomes brittle. Subordinates fear delivering bad news. Alternative viewpoints are suppressed. Reality itself becomes distorted as it travels up the chain of command. According to the Congressional Research Service, Xi holds at least 12 top leadership positions giving him unprecedented control over the party, state, and military. He's extended his rule indefinitely, removing the term limits that ensured regular leadership transitions. The consequences are dire: Economic policy blunders like the tech crackdown and zero-COVID devastated China's economy. According to the World Bank, zero-COVID alone cost China $4 trillion in lost economic output—all because no one could tell Xi it wasn't working. But this creates a dangerous dynamic: When everything is your decision, everything is your fault. As China's problems multiply, there's no one left to blame but Xi himself. And now for perhaps the most surprising fact of all—one that completely contradicts China's carefully cultivated image as a military superpower... 17. MILITARY FAILURES Despite its impressive military parades and growing defense budget, China's military has a fatal flaw: it has never fought a modern war. The People's Liberation Army hasn't engaged in large-scale combat since a brief border war with Vietnam in 1979—and that didn't go well for China. Today's PLA officers have risen through the ranks based on political loyalty, not battlefield experience. Corruption remains rampant in the military despite purges and crackdowns. According to a RAND Corporation study, paid promotions, embezzlement, and kickbacks from defense contractors continue to undermine readiness. In 2022 alone, more than 60 senior military officers were investigated for corruption according to China's Central Military Commission. Chinese soldiers lack real combat experience and train in highly scripted exercises designed to look good for political leaders rather than develop actual fighting Capabilities. According to the U.S. Department of Defense's annual report to Congress, China's military training remains focused on choreographed demonstrations rather than realistic combat scenarios. Even China's growing naval power—often cited as evidence of its rising threat—has never been tested in combat conditions. Building ships is one thing; operating them effectively under fire is quite another. This military inexperience becomes especially concerning when you consider how these other 16 crises might push China's leadership toward conflict as a distraction from domestic problems. History shows that failing regimes often look outward for enemies when facing collapse at home—and rarely has a major power faced so many simultaneous crises as China does today. CONCLUSION The cracks in China's façade aren't just appearing—they're spreading rapidly across every sector of society and economy. From ghost cities to rivers running dry, from banks hiding bad loans to factories fleeing overseas, these aren't isolated problems that can be fixed with a Five-Year Plan. The China we thought we knew—the economic juggernaut destined to overtake America—was built on unsustainable foundations. The real estate bubble, demographic collapse, debt crisis, water shortages, and technological setbacks aren't separate challenges; they're interconnected failures in a system that's reaching its breaking point. History teaches us that no economic miracle lasts forever. The Soviet Union appeared unstoppable until it collapsed virtually overnight. Japan seemed destined to dominate the global economy until its bubble burst in the 1990s. China's trajectory may prove no different—except the scale of its problems dwarfs anything we've seen before. The implications stretch far beyond China's borders. Global supply chains, financial markets, and geopolitical alignments would all be transformed by China's decline. The question isn't whether China faces serious problems—the evidence is overwhelming that it does. The real question is how rapidly these crises will accelerate, and what that means for global stability. What do you think? Which of these facts shocked you the most? Can China somehow overcome these challenges, or are we witnessing the early stages of a historic collapse? Let us know in the comments below.

Transcript of Why Nobody Uses Boats Between the Hawaiian Islands. AI-Generated.
Transcript of Why Nobody Uses Boats Between the Hawaiian Islands you're chilling in Hawaii on the island of Aahu a friend calls you up hey I'm here too meet me in Maui great but how do you get there your first thought is probably to take a ferry but that's impossible hawaii is a pretty unique place it's the most expensive state to live in it has its own official language besides English and it's the only American state made up entirely of islands hawaii has a total of 137 islands eight are the main ones but only six are open to tourists and the distance between those islands is probably bigger than you'd expect for example traveling from Oahu to the Big Island is around 185 mi which is about the same distance as Chicago to Indianapolis you might be surprised that you can't make that trip by boat in fact the only ferry system that actually takes passengers in Hawaii runs between Maui and Lai that's it so your only option is to travel between islands is by plane honestly it's a little surprising especially considering how many people visit Hawaii every year tourism pretty much drives their economy and in the first 8 months of 2024 alone over 6 million people visited its beautiful beaches knowing that we would expect Hawaii to set up a good ferry system to make it easier for visitors to get around just like in Greece this would probably boost tourism even more bringing more money to the state but believe me authorities and private companies also know that in fact they've already tried it fairies were a big way of getting around in Hawaii from the 19th century up until the 1950s since then there have been a few attempts to bring back a ferry service but unfortunately they have all failed one of the biggest attempts was the Hawaii Super Ferry which aimed to provide a fast affordable boat service between islands it could carry almost 900 passengers and even allow them to bring their own cars along the trial run started in 2007 and people were excited but it turned into a big fiasco a bunch of legal and environmental issues came up like concerns about the impact on marine life especially whales the courts decided the ferry didn't go through the proper environmental reviews and that caused a lot of trouble by 2009 after tons of protests and setbacks they had to shut it down if a project like this comes up again it will probably fail one more time and there are a few reasons why it's almost impossible to set up a regular ferry system there let's start by talking about Hawaii's rough waters they are deep and wild take the Alenoi Channel for example it's a 30-m stretch that separates Maui from the Big Island its name means great billow smashing channel and it lives up to that it's over 6,000 ft deep making it one of the most dangerous stretches of water on Earth the wind there is also super strong the fastest in Hawaii's coastal waters but it's not any easier in the rest of the archipelago the whole region gets hit by storms from the Pacific up north sending big waves crashing into the islands and making the waters rough and unpredictable swells can come from three four or even more directions making the sea feel really choppy someone who's not used to taking ferry boats would definitely find that well uncomfortable to say the least to deal with rough seas like this the fairies have to be really big and strong but that also makes them more expensive and harder to run than the ones in places like Alaska or Washington State another reason it's so tough to set up this system today has to do with marine life a big ship moving through the shallower waters when docking could really damage the local ecosystem and there's also the problem that the seaw routes are also the migration paths of many sea animals like humpback whales and spinner dolphins not to mention fairy services can make it easier to spread harmful plants and animals what experts call invasive species see Hawaii's ecosystem is super unique because it's been isolated out in the middle of the Pacific when we talk about plants and animals that are native to Hawaii we mean they got there on their own no humans involved they arrived with the help of waves wind or even birds flying over but events like these are super rare so for over 70 million years their plants and animals didn't have to deal with outside competition that's made them really fragile so when new species get brought in by us it can be a big problem and they could end up harming the environment hawaii's already been battling invasive species like fire ants ki frogs and mikonia a fast growing plant from South America that takes over native forests people there worry that fairies which carry cars and cargo between islands could accidentally spread these invaders even more like we mentioned at the beginning of the video the long distances between their lands don't really help either for example if you were to travel from Oahu to the big island of Hawaii by boat it would take around 30 hours and that's without any stops the same trip by plane takes about 50 minutes fairies that cover long distances are much more expensive so they need a much bigger demand to make them profitable on top of that the state doesn't really have the infrastructure like enough ports and terminals to support the operations so setting up new routes is pretty much out of the question airplanes on the other hand are a different story the air travel industry in Hawaii is already well established and super competitive that means flying is still the most practical option in Hawaii planes are quick they don't make you seasick and are pretty affordable usually costing around $100 for a round trip okay but what do the locals think about all this well apparently there isn't a huge demand for residents to commute between the islands all that often aahu is the busiest island in Hawaii with about 70% of the state's population living there it is where Honolulu the capital is located and where most of the state's business happens so people from the either islands usually come over for a specific doctor's appointment or to catch a big concert and that might happen once or twice a year no more than that so even if people could choose between taking a ferry and a plane for these special occasions most of them would probably still prefer flying there are plenty of options between the main island airports planes usually start flying around 5:00 in the morning and there are flights available every hour until the last one which is usually at 9:00 in the evening if you've been dreaming of going to this paradasical place but are worried about spending too much on plane tickets I have some tips for you first off keep in mind that visiting all the main islands in 5 days or less is way too ambitious so if you don't have much time to spend there think about your priorities each of the six islands open to tourists has its own vibe and activities but you don't need to visit them all in one trip and you can save some money by sticking to fewer islands you can still explore the diversity of the islands by picking two that offer a nice contrast to each other for example while Aahu has that bustling city energy Kauaii has a much more relaxed vibe also flights in the morning are usually cheaper and it might be better to fly on a weekday rather than the weekend although the price difference isn't usually huge hopefully these tips will save you some cash while still having an unforgettable island hopping adventure in Hawaii don't forget to share this video with a friend who's also dreaming of exploring these amazing islands that's it for today so hey if you pacified your curiosity then give the video a like and share it with your friends
