Economic crisis in China: Sharp jump in car prices and suspension of factory operations
A wave of reports from Telegram channels reports an emerging economic crisis in China, which combines an unprecedented jump in the prices of industrial consumer goods alongside a slowdown in production. According to the channel خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری and the channel اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, an "alarming rise in the factory prices of Chinese vehicles" was recorded, with the update noting a jump of "85 to 100 percent compared to the previous price."
At the same time, a report on the channel خبری پلاس|خبرفوری, citing the Reuters news agency, points to a grim picture of the Chinese industrial sector. According to the report, factory activity in China halted during the month of May as a result of a decline in export orders and a continuous rise in production costs.
The factors for the crisis, according to خبری پلاس|خبرفوری, also include the growing geopolitical tension, and in particular the "closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz," which led to a rise in energy prices and weighed directly on the profit margins of manufacturers. It should be noted that these sources tend to cover the Chinese and American economy through a prism of geopolitical influences and international conflicts.
