Hello everyone, welcome to episode 1788577. Many friends might be a bit shocked this time, thinking, wow, the Chinese Communist Party actually managed to grant consecutive holidays for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day! Therefore, many high-performing schools actually said, um, they are going to give a ten-day continuous break, which is really even longer than the winter breaks they might usually have. Especially for high schools, uh, basically high schools in many cities will never see such a long holiday appear. But I’d like everyone to look at the price of having such a long holiday.
[Video Clip] I’m handing out homework, handing out, handing out homework, one point at a time.
Ninety-four test papers were handed out over ten days, which means doing more than nine test papers every day. You tell me how this is different from not having a holiday at all? Can this student still rest during these ten days? Can they still go out to play? Absolutely impossible! Hey, seriously, handing out so many test papers and doing so much homework—is it really because they are afraid their grades will be poor? In fact, it stems more from an instinct of control, which is controlling the freedom of Chinese students. For the Chinese Communist Party, from top to bottom, it’s all the same: losing control is what is most unacceptable. The loss of control I’m talking about here doesn't refer to us ordinary people moving from a normal state to an abnormal state, but rather Chinese people slipping away from the control of the Chinese Communist Party—which to the Chinese Communist Party means losing control. Any action beyond their plans will make them panic. Ideally, every minute and every second of every Chinese person's life should be clearly and neatly arranged by the Chinese Communist Party.
[Video Clip] From now on, going abroad from China will become more and more, going abroad, going abroad. The most thing is.
[Video Clip] A batch of high-net-worth individuals was summoned for concentrated interviews, man, that rain is quite heavy. Oh, queuing up. A big piece of news broke out.
[Video Clip] Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, plus Jiangsu—a large batch of high-net-worth individuals were summoned for concentrated interviews with one core matter: strictly inspecting and making up for unpaid taxes related to offshore trust income. As soon as this matter came out, quite a few bosses began to re-examine their...
[Video Clip] Asset layout and tax compliance issues. What should I do if I have to make up over 40,000 in back taxes? This is what a boss's wife asked me yesterday. Let me comfort you a bit: I made up over 90,000, and over here our side made up over 100,000, and there are even plenty of people in the highest bracket who made up 200,000. Can what I say comfort you just a little bit? Because there’s no alternative, this back tax must be paid; after paying it, you must definitely make regular declarations.
[Video Clip] It’s now 6:20 in the morning, and the US embassy entrance hasn't started allowing people to line up yet, but those who arrived early—look at this side of the street, there’s already a long line. The rain is quite heavy today, oh, queuing up must be pretty tough for people. On this day, after more than three hours of waiting, the results came out. We had a total of ten people interviewing today, and nine passed, with only one failing. Overall today, the refusal rate is still quite high. Um, looking at all these white slips and green slips—very few blue slips—I am still quite happy for the client to have such a result.
[Video Clip] It will become increasingly difficult for us Chinese to go abroad in the future, because in many regions now, you cannot even get a passport. The only thing is that you have to prove that your purpose for traveling is genuine. Anyway, there are all kinds of documents, and in the end, if it's not one thing, it's another; you just can't get it processed. So, if you have that booklet now, you really need to cherish it. It might be the book of your destiny, the essence of changing your fate.
[Video Clip] The best decision I have ever made in my life, I believe, was to go abroad and come to Australia.
[Video Clip] Have you noticed? More and more ordinary people are desperately trying to go abroad. It's not because foreign countries are perfect or the moon is rounder there, but because they suddenly realize that if they continue to stay in their current circles, their lives might really be seen to the end at a glance. A salary of a few thousand yuan a month, afraid of losing the job, afraid of getting sick, and even more afraid of stopping. But the scariest thing is that you have clearly worked very hard, yet you still cannot see any hope in life. Therefore, more and more people are starting to want to go abroad to change their fate, because for ordinary people to turn their lives around, sometimes they really have to change their environment and find different opportunities. Many people might think that going abroad is just working in a different place, but only those who have truly stepped out understand that while it is still working, it might lead to two completely different lives.
[Video Clip] Do you know? After going abroad, I realized that of all the people in the world, we Chinese are the ones who live the most tiring lives. Before going abroad, I always thought that Chinese was everywhere and that I could communicate smoothly wherever I went. But only after arriving abroad did I realize that Chinese is not a universal language at all. Language barriers, being alone in a foreign land, having no one to turn to—all emotions have to be digested by oneself. What is even more heartbreaking is the gap compared to foreigners: locals get off work on time, live a Buddhist-like life, and never engage in internal friction. Only we Chinese are born to be competitive and work ourselves to the bone.
[Video Clip · Visa Officer] What questions did the visa officer ask?
[Video Clip · Student] They just asked if I was afraid to return to China, and if I was afraid of being harmed after returning.
[Video Clip · Visa Officer] They asked those two.
[Video Clip · Student] Questions.
[Video Clip · Visa Officer] Are you a student?
[Video Clip · Student] Yes, a student.
[Video Clip · Visa Officer] Did they ask anything else?
[Video Clip · Student] No, that was it.
[Video Clip · Visa Officer] Ah, how is your travel history?
[Video Clip · Student] My travel history is just Asian countries.
[Video Clip · Visa Officer] How do you feel about the pass rate in Wuhan this time?
[Video Clip · Wuhan Interviewee] I think the pass rate is quite high.
[Video Clip · Visa Officer] Congratulations!
[Video Clip] This year, the overall environment is probably really not good, and it's hard to find a job. A particularly interesting thing is that at the beginning of this year, when I was hiring for a designer position, I interviewed less than ten people. Among these people, two or three came from the same company. Think about it, they left at almost the same time. That company was in the business of cultural artifacts, and live-streaming sales weren't doing well either; they couldn't sell many orders, so they started laying off staff across the board, and they all ended up here with me. In the end, I hired one of them, and the other two were very well-informed and found out immediately.
[Video Clip] Why do rich people run to the United States, the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and South Korea? Why do they run to these developed countries? Are the rich stupid? Actually, buddy, the fact that you can ask this question, at your age, I feel quite sad for you, really.
[Video Clip] Going abroad, going abroad, going abroad, going abroad, everyone is going abroad. For the next generation, for a better life, for their own ideals, everyone is going abroad. With our eight mountains, one river, and one portion of farmland, we really don't have enough natural conditions to support the creation of more wealth. Of course, many people also go to other provinces, to Xinjiang, to Tibet, and to Southeast Asia.
[Video Clip] In our district, the front pages of everyone's household registration booklets (hukou) were all confiscated, and the head of our household isn't even a member of our own family; it's a name of someone who manages our district, a person from an ethnic minority—I won't go into details, okay? Those who know, know. So we don't have the front page. After I came here to process it, they required the front page of our household registration booklet, which I don't have, so I couldn't process it. Now they require me to return to my place of household registration and go to the police (the 'Uncle Hat') to have my father or mother take the booklet and get the proof of the front page issued, because we are a collective household. Then, after getting it issued, I have to take all these materials to process it. As for whether it can be processed in a certain area of Yili, I don't know yet. I will update you with the follow-up content after I go back. Um, I currently heard that I still have to go to the police to write some application and materials. As for whether I really need to write it and what content to write, I will update you after I go back to handle it. Okay.
[Video Clip] I only sold four million in total, and the Tax Bureau immediately notified me to pay 1.4 million in back taxes. I've been stripped down to my underwear, and I still can't afford to pay it! I just sell tickets; I only sold four million this year, and the Tax Bureau wants me to pay 1.4 million in back taxes. I didn't even make that much money, what am I supposed to pay with? I just earned a little price difference. I calculated four million, how can I pay 1.4 million?
[Video Clip] Sisters, this is what the third floor looks like right now. It's completely emptied out, leaving only the units facing the street. Uh, today is the last day for our street-facing units, tomorrow...
[Video Clip] See you in Area C of the fifth floor. Now it's certain, it's not just crowdsourced delivery that has no orders. I just came over from the mall on our side, and at this hour it should be the peak lunch rush. But I found that the entrance is packed with food delivery riders just chatting in the plaza or watching videos—there are no orders at all. I've come to terms with it, crowdsourced delivery has no orders either.
[Video Clip] I've been doing food delivery for four days, and it really gets worse day by day. Today I didn't even make a hundred yuan. For those who want to do food delivery, I suggest you don't do it, you simply can't make any money.
[Video Clip] My suggestion is that anyone who currently has any thoughts of going abroad should get their passport sorted out in advance. It's not to say that you must leave the country right after getting it, but rather that when we want to leave, uh, we won't be unable to go just because it's too late.
[Video Clip] Recently, more and more individual stores have received tax notifications. Let me tell you how we received the notice on our end, alright? They explicitly stated that if your corporate name generates over 300,000 per quarter, uh, over 300,000 in a quarter, you have to pay; if it doesn't exceed 300,000, you don't have to pay. But even if you don't exceed it, you still have to do your regular tax filings. If you exceed 300,000, then honestly just pay up.
[Video Clip] Our family has six children, two of whom are middle school students currently in school. I give each of them a hundred yuan every week, a hundred yuan for each person. They always say it's not enough to spend, not enough to use, and want me to give them a bit more. But our family's conditions are limited, and my heart is willing but my strength falls short. So sisters, let me ask you, how much money is considered appropriate to give a junior high school student in school each week?
[Video Clip] There is no profit, stop chasing high sales volume. An e-commerce business sells 10 million, and the profit might only be 400,000 to 500,000. For tax make-ups, you have to pay 1.3 million. Yesterday, a top influencer, just because they sold 10,000 yuan more, had to make up 650,000 yuan in taxes on the spot—their entire year's profit was wiped out. Just watching it makes me anxious. Today I'm going to break down the newly added Value-Added Tax Law for 2026 and share it with everyone. First, let's make the first point clear: there is no such thing as a special e-commerce tax; the tax standards for online and offline are completely identical. But there is a fatal critical point. For small-scale businesses, the VAT for annual sales under 5 million only needs to be paid at a rate of 1 point. Once your single-period cumulative sales exceed 5 million, you will immediately have to make up the difference calculated at a rate of 13 percent. Let's take the most realistic example: you do livestreaming sales, and you sold 3 million in one month. In the second month, if you sell less than 2 million, it's fine; but if it exceeds 2 million—even if it's 2.01 million, bringing the cumulative total to 5.01 million—then in the second month you will directly have to pay taxes at the 13 percent rate. Just the tax alone will require you to pay over 260,000 more. Think about it: you spent over 100,000 on traffic, had a high return rate, and in the end, you even have to pay out of your own pocket. Wouldn't you say that's completely unjust?
[Video Clip] These conditions are dead hard now, those doing business, even the ones who aren't dead yet need to inhale oxygen!
[Video Clip] Family members, I was fined by the tax bureau. A couple of days ago I received a fine text message from the tax bureau, and after checking I realized that for the fourth quarter of last year, uh, my filing was late, so I was fined probably a dozen or so yuan. Therefore, students must file on time! Let me briefly talk about tax filing; to put it bluntly, it actually just requires you to pay two amounts. The first is VAT, and the second is individual income tax, uh, it's to make you pay these two amounts. Taking my noodle shop's fourth quarter as an example, last year, the fourth quarter of year 25, uh, the platform pushed my total turnover to probably around 350,000. I have to pay VAT, which is 1 percent, maybe coming to less than 3,500 yuan, and this must be paid. The second is personal income tax. If, uh, I don't file, if I don't file, uh, the tax bureau will assume that all this 350,000 is net profit, and I would need to pay 300,000 calculated at 0.5 percent.
[Video Clip] Go abroad.
[Video Clip] Broad.
[Video Clip] Don't hesitate and don't stall, because this is your only way out. I don't care how old you are or what your educational background is, as long as you want to go abroad, you will find a way to go abroad. Years from now, you will find that the most correct thing you ever did in your life was to leave the country, because choices are far more important than hard work. Keep it up!
[Video Clip] Someone asked me whether you have to pay taxes when you return to China after making money abroad? You have to pay. As long as you are a Chinese tax resident, all money earned globally must be declared when returning to China. How much you pay mainly depends on which country you are in. For example, if you earned 1 million in Malaysia, and the Malaysian tax rate is 10 percent, you pay 100,000 there, and bring the remaining 900,000 back. Calculated under the domestic tax rate of 20 percent, the payable amount is 200,000. But the 100,000 you already paid abroad can be deducted, so returning to China only requires paying the difference of 100,000. The key here is to keep the overseas tax-paid proof properly.
[Video Clip] Oh god! Our factory had nothing to do, so I ran over to this factory to make snacks. The people in this factory are so hard to get along with! Oh god! I asked him a question today, and it was as if I owed him something. I asked him, "What time do you guys work overtime until at night?" He replied, "You can love working overtime until whatever time you want." Oh god!
That scared me to death! The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is currently focused on two main things. One is bottom-fishing for the money of the Chinese people; it is preparing to harvest the very roots. Since the tea leaves growing on top have mostly been harvested already, it has no choice but to cut the roots. The other thing is stability maintenance (weiwen) to control the Chinese people, meaning that Chinese people are not allowed to complain about their lives, nor are they allowed to run away, let alone protest. To put it bluntly, it boils down to eight words: a dead end, waiting to be slaughtered. Alright, that is all for this episode. If you would like to support me, please join the membership channel. I especially hope to see everyone in tomorrow's member-only livestream. Uh, due to time zone differences, there are friends watching tonight, and there will be others tomorrow. That is all for this episode, and we will see you next time.
