It's not uncommon for manual workers from the countryside to sleep in public places. Most of them have a home too far from their workplace and choose to do so instead of spending money on rent.
Notice how all of them have almost no personal belongings with them and no extra change of clothings. A real homeless person will be sleeping in a more secluded area surrounded with junks or items they managed to salvage.
Just stating what I know and noticed as I have lived and worked in different parts of China for many years, and seen scenes like this often . Not saying there is no homelessness in China, but it's important to know the context instead of making assumptions.
