The property sector, once 25–30 % of GDP, remains in free fall: Country Garden defaulted on offshore bonds in October, and new-home prices fell 6.9 % year-over-year in September.

A popular cartoon of a tired office worker with the caption “I just want to lie flat and rot” was removed from Weibo within hours of the new rules, along with thousands of reposts.

ByteDance and Tencent have rolled out upgraded “positive energy” algorithms that demote or hide content containing 4,000+ newly blacklisted keywords and sentiment patterns. According to a leaked Tencent internal document (circulated on GitHub before being taken down), the system now scores every post on a “mood index” from –100 (extremely negative) to +100 (extremely positive).
