Are you suggesting that the rate of home ownership in China has changed in any substantial way in the past 7 years. If so please do provide citations to support your claims. Otherwise, feel free to go trolling in a different thread lmao.

I already did. The statista link from before shows new home sales falling off a cliff over the last couple years. Probably due to all the problems the big sellers like evergrande have been seeing

That doesn’t show anything to support your argument. It just shows that people aren’t seeing real estate as a good investment vehicle.

Wait I linked mortgage values didn’t I, in response to the BS about them owning their homes without mortgages.

Here’s some proof showing home ownership falling off;

I’ve literally addressed this already above. Your links are not showing that home ownership is falling off, they’re showing that people are buying less homes now. Which is something you’d expect to be the case when most people already own a home. The only people buying homes now are the ones investing in them as secondary properties. It’s incredible that you can’t wrap your head around this.
