Well even if it was bad China sure wouldn’t say it. The health of their economy can impact the whole world too so it’s kinda important.

Satellite tracking trucking operations and such is decades old at this point. Every major investment house has an absolute army of people pouring over every data point they can get their hands on to try and get an edge

the other issue is that people dont trust chinese GDP numbers. I remember years ago some article was posted where a dude just had people count the number coal shipments in ports to see if energy usage was up or down.

https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/07BEIJING1760_a.htmlquote:4. (C) GDP figures are "man-made" and therefore unreliable, Li said. When evaluating Liaoning's economy, he focuses on three figures: 1) electricity consumption, which was up 10 percent in Liaoning last year; 2) volume of rail cargo, which is fairly accurate because fees are charged for each unit of weight; and 3) amount of loans disbursed, which also tends to be accurate given the interest fees charged. By looking at these three figures, Li said he can measure with relative accuracy the speed of economic growth. All other figures, especially GDP statistics, are "for reference only," he said smiling. Well, it's been 15 years and Li has been on the politburo for 14 of those years, and Premier for 9. How are things now? quote:近年来，国家统计局坚决查处统计违纪违法案件并督促通报曝光，遏制、震慑效应初显。但从查处的案件情况看，统计造假不收手、不收敛的问题仍然较为突出。... Okay then.

That's what happens when the decent jobs demand serious overtime, and the decent places to live have house prices that are becoming unattainable even with family help, and a lot of the people who are hitting marriage age have few brothers and sisters, therefore more often having higher expectations for their own achievements, and higher expectations put on them by their family. The government made a few steps towards improving this, re: overtime, maternity/paternity leave, some media campaigns that I considered ti be super weird but apparently a lot of people here thought were well-done... But, I haven't heard of much more high-profile stuff recently, which is discouraging. It seems that a common disease of development is to leave people without the time and money to pursue family-related goals. You might hope that China would try to avoid this, but so far you'd be mostly disappointed.

The kids are too busy watching porn japanese porn, and playing video games while lying flat. industrialization and urbanization are very very very disruptive. China speed running all those changes in 30 years while imposing the one child policey really has hosed them.

It wasn't a China-specific list, just a general joke on what sort of things make economists cry for all the lost profits, because they cater to and represent the rich few and not the poor many.
