China's entire banking industry is based on real estate.

Their home ownership rate was ridiculously higher than America due to people investing in second and third homes rather than banking and other sectors. The banks are over leveraged and it's been a ponzi scheme basically. People were buying unbuilt homes and the real estate developers were using that cash just to buy more land rather than build the homes.

People are bucking back over there and not paying mortgages and there has been bank runs. Some real estate developers are bankrupt and their executives leaving in the middle of the night.

China. Is. fricked.

If you're right about the banking and real estate, they are fricked.

Where are people getting so much money for real estate there? I thought most people in China were essentially blue collar type but with lower earning power than here.

Also: where are they putting all the discarded building materials? Must be thousands of acres of landfill. (IDK about over there, but here every building requires all new material, and regardless your can't use shite that's been blown up and compromised.)

Their demographics are also the worst in the world. Their population has already peaked. Right now they are disproportionately old. In 2030 they will have more people retired than still working.

By 2050 they are projected to decrease from 1.3 billion to around 650 million. That's not good
