Something strange is happening in Shanghai. Once China’s pride and economic powerhouse, the city now feels… off. In this video, we take you inside the city’s busiest train station—at a time that should be packed—and show you what the camera saw instead. Local vloggers are asking the same question: where did everyone go?
From empty streets to vacant high-rises, quiet restaurants to shuttered malls, the signs are everywhere—but no one seems to be talking about it openly. Is this just a temporary slowdown, or is something deeper unraveling behind the scenes?
As China pushes an image of strength to the world, what’s happening inside Shanghai tells a different story—if you know where to look. In the first two stories of this video, we follow the local voices who are seeing it firsthand. This isn’t a prediction. It’s already here—just quiet enough to ignore.
Until now.
Watch, and decide for yourself.
