The cost of living is going up due to the energy shock from Russia’s invasion, coupled with QE effects caused by central banks. These are temporary things. Rates go up to slow the economy, spending has to slow to create a disinflationary environment.
The cost of living was going up before the war started, and it's not Russian invasion that caused the shock. It was the conscious decision by EU and UK to cut themselves off from buying Russian energy directly. So, now you're forced to buy it at a markup from resellers. These are not temporary things because the dynamics that created these problems haven't changed. But you keep on living in your fantasy lala land while you can.
So, let me get this straight, you’re learning a language of a country you’ve never been to in the blind hope that it is a communist country even though it’s pretty obvious Xi Jinping is quite keen on returning China to what’s it’s always been, a monarchial dynasty.
I can see why somebody with the level of intelligence you've consistently demonstrated in our discussions would think that. In reality, I have lots of friends from China whom I've met in university, I also have friends who moved to China and are living there happily. It's also the height of hilarity that you tink Xi is turning China into a monarchical dynasty. You really manage to provide me with new heights of comedy with every comment. The only thing that's fucking hilarious here is you buddy.

Oh, I've had enough of your bollocks.
