    the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

    it gets better

    In fact, 90% of families in the country own their home, giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world. What’s more is that 80% of these homes are owned outright, without mortgages or any other leans.

    It would be interesting to see how much houses cost, average mortgage, all juxtaposed with average wages, average cost of goods. I feel like all this information would reinforce an already massive point.

    Is Mexico really #2? That’s a huge gap.

    BBC really can’t help being sinophobic in any situation, huh?

    Why is this country doing better? It must be mommy and daddy’s money.

    Where did that money come from? How come %70 of millennials have rich parents? How does that work?

      And then here in America they just advise millennials.

      “Just live with mummy and daddy forever and inherit their property when they pass. Porky want money, porky needed what would have otherwise been your house!”

    Mexico being here has to be a fluke related to living close to the US. Like i feel the ruling class here didn’t hoard that much property (tho its getting worse) because they prefer living/spending in the US.

        There was land reform decades back so maybe this slowed their property hoarding, to this day most of the land distributed for peasants is back to the hands of the few.

    This info is from a study conducted 6 years ago that only looked at 9 countries. Malaysia and Canada aren’t on the list and idk what the 9th country is because the link that article provides is broken.

        I’m not a lib dude that’s not what I meant. I’m just saying that the graph looks wrong because the study sucks. Let’s not uncritically accept info because it says something we want to hear.

    Pretty sure you can’t own a house in China, isn’t it like a life time lease?

    Edit: thanks for all the downvotes for asking a question. Have a good day.

      ‘Ownership’ anywhere is essentially a life time lease, right? Unless you can figure out how to take it with you.

        In that case in other places, if I own the property I can leave it in trust or in a will to other people when I die, genuinely curious because I don’t know… Is that possible with how China does things?

      You just renew the lease. You can’t own a real estate property indefinitely without paying a fee of some kind in any country.

        The only entities that really own land anywhere are states. If you “own” real estate in the U.S. and don’t pay your rent property taxes, the actual owner the state evicts you can confiscate your land for a tax sale.

    My uninformed understanding is you pay for a house then they build it and construction companies/banks are defaulting so houses aren’t being built despite being “owned”?

    No idea at what rate that’s happening.

          this is a fake thing made up by western economists who predict china’s collapse every day for the last 2 decades. First it was ghost cities made up of empty housing, now the story is not enough housing and a bunch of ghost owners without houses? Seriously think about it for one second, if this ‘crisis’ has been ongoing for a decade yet China still is growing faster than the west is it really a ‘crisis’ and does it make any sense that they have too many yet not enough homes?
