Fenquile users are then charged with annual interest rates of over 20%. Chinaās maximum legal annual interest rate is 36%. Companies that offer microloans charge up to 30%.
Apparently iPhone is one of most popular toys that lure Chinese girls into the shithole of Instant HappinessĀ (for Eternal Indebtedness/Enslavement).
Dorrit Chen, Euromonitor Internationalās Consumer Finance analyst in China said millennials spending habits are different to their parentsā generation. Whilst their parents would choose to save, millennials prefer the buy-now-pay-later system.
āThis trend is not only happening in metropolitans, but also [being taken up by] young generations from small towns,ā she said.
āAnt Check Later ā the [loan service] affiliate of Alibaba ā as one of the most popular online credit service providers is a case in point,ā Chen added. ā[It] offers credit from 500 yuan ($100) to 50,000 yuan ($10,000) based on big data analysis from their Alipay account history.ā
China now has 170 million people born after 1990 and 45 million have an Ant Check Later microloan account.
āBuy now pay later makes shopping easier and [more] convenient, which largely boosts millennialsā shopping demand as well as the large amount of delinquencies and subprime loans,ā she said.
According to reports, loansharks understand millennial’s desire for “instant happiness” like the back of their hands, demanding nude selfies as collateral from their clients. And if loans are not paid in time, the companies blackmail and threaten their clients by saying they will leak the photographs online.
In 2016, a total of 10 GB of nudes from 161 women, aged between 19 to 23, were leaked online by lenders, reported China Youth Daily: –
