Actually, i’ve been thinking that city planners and local governments should be more creative with terms of subsidized housing and manual labor.

Dont forget, the UK is in recession. Japan is in recession. They are the 3rd and 1st US bondholders on earth. China is the 2nd. When more and more people in the world boycott the USA allies' products as a response to Israel, there is a possibility the UK and Japan's recession will get worse. At that time, the UK and Japan may sale their USA bonds. If that has happened, China will follow suit.

[@fahmidamiah]

The culture in China and also places like Singapore and HK are highly revolved around property as a commodity. It's such a shame because there is a lot of poverty in China too and many people need homes. Every country needs to stop using shelter as a means to riches. The Boomer and Gen X generation have been particularly guilty of spreading this disease, including in the UK, where the property market is absolutely diabolical, leaving the younger generation with poor housing with rocket sky prices. This needs to stop.

As one who has worked for a decade at one of China's leading real estate companies, I can confirm that for every $100 spent on housing prices by consumers, at least 70 to 80 are taken away by the government in the form of land concession fees and various taxes during the transaction process. This is essentially a form of rather covert heavy taxation. If you don't buy a house, you won't be able to enjoy basic public services in your city of residence, including education for your children, medical services for yourself, etc. Essentially, if you don't buy a house, you're treated as an "illegal immigrant." However, after taking such a high proportion of residents' income away, has the government used it efficiently? In China, where there is no reasonable supervision mechanism in place, this remains a big question mark.

China’s housing market is more likely to be a gambling house. Before the bubble bursting, the way assessing people whether they were rich enough was the amount of apartments they had. The government manipulated the property price increasing from 2015 to 2020 dramatically, which was called “rise in price and disposed of inventory”.

They don’t OWN the home. They lease it for up to 70 years. The mortgage starts when you sign the papers. If it’s never finished, you will pay and then it reverts to the local government.

You can extend the “ownership” after 70 years by paying a certain amount to the gov. It’s like property tax, the difference is that they collect it every 70 years instead of annually.

[@pjacobsen1000]

It is mentioned that a billion apartments are empty, but that is clearly a mistake. Since 2000, when the market really opened, they have 'only' built around 200 million apartments, and most of those are not empty. A better estimate is around 25 million empty apartments, enough to house 75 million people (two parents and one child per apartment). Another number mentioned is that the real estate sector (and associated value chains: raw materials, construction materials, decorating, furniture, appliances, etc.) makes up 20-30% of GDP. This may have been the case at the top of the market around 2020, but now it has clearly fallen to less than half that number, considering real estate investments have dropped around 35% over the last three years.

In China in 2008 around 70% of the people in their real estate markets were buying their 1st homes in their cities By 2018 around 70% of the people in their real estate markets were buying their 2nd and 3rd homes in their cities That’s why you are hearing about problems with their property developers these days. Because back in 2010? Their Central Government started cutting of money flow to these developers. Thus why you heard about Shadow Banks and Underground Economy back then, that their Government had to come into to shutdown or regulate. Even then, It took them almost 14 years to get their overheated real estate under control Heck they were about to introduce a nation wide property tax, but then trump started the trade war in 2018 Why is their Central Government doing this? Because there are still a few hundred million poorer rural folk they still expect to move to the cities to join their more well off urban city folk countrymen. Problem is these property developers were building higher end homes, and not building the affordable homes these rural migrants will need In China Owning a home in the city you migrate to? Affects your employment, health, education and even marriage prospects don’t have a house you don’t get married Thus the common prosperity push and the crackdown on the overt displays of wealth in China Their Government probably figured out you disenfranchise the people at the bottom of your society they are the ones most likely to act out in protest

But that causes things to play out this way: People stop purchasing as much due to waiting for their currency being worth more over time. Companies see less profits due to less economic flow. Companies pay workers less Less pay means workers spend less. Less spending decreases companies profits, less wages. A deflationary spiral has formed.

[@titanxie5579]

Any bubbles will burst. The longer it waits, harder to manage it will become. The biggest bubble of all time is sitting on the south of the Canadian border.

[@vincenttay2812]

The biggest bubble ever😅

[@texaswunderkind]

The national debt only matters when a Democrat is in the White House.

[@marcbayarea1980]

The USA is not in a bubble.

[@fadzanuar4962]

Also bear in mind the property is Leasehold and not Freehold. 'In China, all plots of land are technically owned by the state'. Still, Chinese citizens and foreigners alike can lease from the government for periods between 40 and 70 years, depending on the land’s purpose and location.

[@lisayip4305]

Not exactly. The city land is onwed by the government but home owners do not pay property tax like what people do here in the US. Land in the countries is privately owned.

[@leezhieng]

This only applies to city or urban area. It's permanent ownership in rural areas.

[@lulubumon]

The gold bar deals exist because of the minimum selling price on the developer. The developer cannot sell the property price lower than certain limit, or government will not release the title. Instead of decreasing housing prices, the developer has to be creative in order to get around this policy control. The biggest mistake chinses government made was copying the USA real estate market during bush jr. administration; but china isnt giving cheap credit( considering higher interest rate than elsewhere) , but buying old city communities and encouraging these people to buy new developments. In short, china had a fast booming economy thanks for the real estate, but the same time installing a time bomb now is counting down on its explosion 😂

Balanced report

[@PegasusFleets]

The true wealth of an organization is it's happy, able, willing workers !! I DO hope to see more college scholarships for the happy Chinese people !! 😂🎉😢😮😅😅😊🎉😂

[@Allaiya.]

43x income? Wow!! And I thought NYC was bad. How do people afford homes there?

[@quarelay2486]

If you count property tax, nyc is not really far away from this number.

[@eobardthawne6903]

I believe same is happening in India too. In 5-7 years, the property bubble will burst here too. America faced it in 2008, China has been facing it since 2020, India will it in coming decades. And that's all because of Boomers and Gen X.

[@xavier_lucas]

Concerns of a potential debt default in China triggered a market sell-off, impacting both digital and traditional stocks markets

[@Paullookman]

Japanese companies with operations in China, like Hitachi Construction Machinery, saw markets value declines.

[@Paullookman]

I've w in construction across Asia, mainly Japan and China, and invested wisely under the guidance of U.S Fin-Planner who shorted Chinese Index, yielding significant gains up 173% in 2023 under my portfolio.

[@Paullookman]

Monica Mary Strigle that's her name

[@xavier_lucas]

Shorting the Chinese index is a bold move, is this a continuous strategy or just a one time thing and who is this Monica if I may and how did you make such a turn over?

[@Paullookman]

I got 173% gains in 2023. I expect more in 2024 there other speculative assets including shorting the Chinese Index 2wks ago. Currently have 1.7 million in our tax deferred savings. Just a commendation to anyone out there for anyone looking for how to help themselves in this time of crisis.

[@birdeyecloud6801]

The real reason of China housing market decline is dominated by aging populations, including Japan and south Korea too.

Ji Zingping spotted the property bubble burst theory early. Hence a 2008 like recession was averted.

[@rap3208]

They do long term planning so all their moves are not reactive, spur of the moment, or emotional responses. they are all well thought out. The government actually started the ball rolling when it comes to Evergrande's downfall. They saw that Evergrande was existing on unlimited borrowing so they instituted polcies to prevent it. With no more future loans for Evergrande, it started to tailspin and the government has no intention to bail it out. In China, there is no "too big to fail".

[@doujinflip]

​They have long term _goals_, but the planning is not well thought out and never detailed enough to put manageable boundaries on the lower levels who actually have to implement said "plan". Hence why the Party is constantly having to react to their own poor results.

[@user-hjsjdhs23sdf]

You have no idea what you're talking about. USA real estate bubble was created by massive leverage using derivatives.

[@ChaosOperator]

There ist STILL NO private property. The property are still owned by the state and rented out for 70 years to those so called "buyers". They are not buying anything, instead they are renting the property, building the building themselves and losing all of it after 70 years or even shorter then that.

[@Janet1001-X]

It is called LEASE HOLD PROPERTY. There are many properties like these in other democratic European countries, typically the vertical building real estate developments, and buyers of units also treated the property as "privately-owned" by them, but only the leasing right is owned by private developers. In the case of China, the leasing right is owned by the government. At the end of lease hold period, the lease hold agreement can be renewed.

[@wayneredd6776]

Tell me something I don’t know?

[@chicanohek]

What’s it like to report on news 4 years too late?

[@texaswunderkind]

@freedom_for_khalistan The homeless population in the U.S. is 0.002 of the population. That's 1/5th of 1%. Don't lie, Jinping.

[@meritocracy168]

No matter how you explain. China's housing bubble is like chicken feet comparing with the American debt crisis.

[@Alex-iw8tz]

As a Chinese from the mainland, I have to say that China's system is a caste system. Rich Shanghainese and Beijingers immigrate and buy houses all over the world. People from Gansu and Sichuan who have no money are slowly dying in China. People in the government system can not work at all through connections, but they can still get wages. People outside the system get up at 4 a.m. and are busy, but still find it difficult to eat. The Chinese civilization and caste system should end.

We were fooled by centralized planning, but its ineffectiveness is undeniable.

What 😂 did u even watch the video 😂 Xi Jinping Just saying house build for living not speculation 😂 that why The Government pop the house bubble

[@anandkumar61]

Any country that engages in real estate frenzy will have a crisis, no brainer. Residential Houses must be used to live and not to be used for quick profit making business. Financialization of homes is like a musical chair game but difference is no one wants to be in the game till the end and rewarded with Biggest LOSER title

[@hmmer3471]

This sounds like pyramid scheme, everyone buy the house, if everyone has the house buy the 2nd

[@Mexicanman]
