This is getting ridiculous! Housing prices in China have now got to the insane price that an entire year’s salary can only buy you 10 square feet, so on average it takes 900 years of salary to pay for a small 2 bedroom apartment in the big cities… Why? What’s going on? How is it that this market hasn’t exploded yet?

This will eventually end very badly, it's really just greed on steroids and the people hurt the most are the young graduates entering the workplace, how will they ever survive?

My Mother used to call tall apartment buildings "People Filing Cabinets".
I guess you also watch PolyMatter
Interesting! So VP Biden signed that MOU with Xi Jinping during the Obama Administration so CCP companies would not be audited and vetted prior to being listed on NYSE >>> thought it was devious espionage but also enough flakey CCP companies could crash the NYSE?!
it will all come crashing down 100% guaranteed !!! …. and soon !

Great video. I knew that China has had a housing bubble, but I didn't understand how it worked before.
The best ? you're brave and cool ? takes guts to do this. Ugh!! Now I can't get past customs… meh… worth it
China doing this all in a fashion like I play Cities Skylines or Europa Universalis IV
Any investment is only worth what you can sell it for
Hey serpentza could you talk about china hidden debt, it uses its hidden to debt to fund most of the infrastructure, such as transport and etc, and china been using stimulus as a form of investment for years, with hiding it to investors.
A 900 sq ft livingroom is monstrous my man. But I get your point.
lmao, the US is in the same situation, yet no one talks about it. We have a huge homeless problem. We also have 17 million empty homes. Ny can fix its own homeless problem with the amount of empty apartments they have.
I could never live in a home that wasn't going to outlast me
Ban all chinese exports to the west and the communist will fall in Pekin the same way they fell in Moscow 30 years ago, the west is feeding this monster
The housing market literally sounds like a giant stock market
So let me get this straight you work for money to pay rent/buy a property that isn't actually yours in a Communist country. NONE of this makes scence.
They don't have anywhere else to invest. They can't buy foreign stocks, capital controls, movement controls, and they know their stock market is rigged.
I wonder how much co2, wasted materials etc. they produce this way…oh, but they'll reach 0 net carbon emissions in a few years…
Can people buy gold???
Nobody should invest in china until the ccp ends genocide.
So how does this Chinese RE bubble end? There have been successive cycles of up and down in Chinese real estate, but no crash and no reset of prices. With each cycle prices continue to rise? All parties, except for those actually needing housing, benefit from each cycle. Thanks for the video.
Turkey also has the concrete infestation. Thing is that all the buildings are empty and is a money laundering show. The government and construction company goes hand in hand. The rates are to low and these companies steal money from the State Treasury and send it abroad.
Soon everyone in China will work liked a mad dog to support for skyrocket housing prices… just liked in Hong Kong
hong kong's housing market is more crazy
I wish we could buy cheap apartments in California. No choice but to buy a million dollar track house.
Stay awesome!!
This is literally exactly how the 2008 financial collapse happened. Except then if you held onto your property for a decade you could get what you paid for it. This is worse because these people don’t own the property/land, and if what Winston says is true, they won’t own anything because the building will be demolished.
This is so much worse than what 2008 did to America. China is fucked.
Bubble is simply the excessive amount of money printed. That’s why bubbles don’t burst. They only get bigger and bigger, in any country, any industry such as the stock market and Bitcoin. It just sux to be those making a regular salary. Whatever amount of money they are making is worthing less and less by the day.
This is off topic but why does China loves Buick? I also got a Buick ad before watching this lol. I’m also mad at GM for shutting down Pontiac instead of Buick.
I have an opportunity to teacher secondary school maths in China and earn double what Im earning now. Is that a bad move?
Just one question, who tha hell buys one of these used apartments with 15 or 20 years?!!! Do they even visit before they buy it??!!
These societal issues are why China could never take over the world but they will try until they die to prove they could do it, even if just a show. I hope Chinese people are on the verge of freeing themselves from the CCP
I thought they would have other things to invest in…. lol
Why not gold?
As someone who has been a faithful watcher since the good ol' Custom bikes days when there were no old videos to go back and catch up on, I've considered your channels to be some of my best resources for gaining inside insight. I have several friends who play games online professionally, some of whom live in mainland China, and they have pretty much backed up every single point I've raised, giving me their local viewpoint on it, from things like the rat eating in remote villages to milk dogs and even the "nail houses". In fact, since the video you guys did on said empty "property investment to say we built there" typc construction… I've been waiting for it to crash HARD, just like it did over there in America when theirs burst. That had a huge effect on the world economy, but pales in comparison to the sheer scale of this Chinese housing bubble. When it DOES pop, there will be a lot of… unrestful activity. That's the nicest way I can think of wording this so that YT doesn't get too angry at my post.
I've seen some videos of chinese buildings made out of poor material that can literally get holes poked into it.
No wonder they can afford to build, destroy and rebuild so much. Really not surprised that also happens in China.
Fakes house in China. Inside fake home
Good if you can keep these kind of videos going. Do you think china can really become the superpower its hyped to become with 500 million elderly and an almost 3:1 male to female ratio? Can they be the first to bounce back from something like that naturally?
Their housing bubble will eventually crash too.
A nice explanation
