Inflation-adjusted home prices in China have fallen below where they started two decades ago, and the fiscal fallout is hitting local governments even harder than developers.
I wonder how many people on Lemmy want to move to China based on what they’ve heard about it on this collective network or in their own circles. How many of those people would be sorely disappointed if they did?
Tbf, I’d move to China permanently in a heartbeat, based on more than a decade of working there. If China ever lets foreigners buy property, I’ll be first in line.
I wouldn’t touch the US with a hundred foot pole, on the other hand.
No, it was not. He tried to make it about that, true.
Show me where it says “and now let’s have a conversation about some wet who got scared because he went to China, that’s the only thing that’s relevant now?”
I don’t mind the story about his poor, sad daddy, everyone gets to share an anecdote. But to suggest his father being pathetic is on-topic but US citizens being massively hypocritical isn’t is weak sauce.
I’m sure the US’s ICE concentration camps are happy-fun-joy-camps, they probably even have Burger King for all I care, but that doesn’t change the fact that you lot lost the moral high ground long ago, and one story about a wet who got scared doesn’t change that.
A lot of them come across as Ariel in Disney’s The Little Mermaid. They have an incomplete understanding of China and also likely have legitimate reasons to not want to live where they are.

That’s nice. When I was a kid my dad worked in China, and they confiscated our passports, so we literally had to flee the country.
So there’s also that side of the coin.
So like ICE, then?
My dad had a work visa for a company and when his contract was up they held his passport saying he was to continue working for the company.
So no. Not like ICE.
Also, we’re talking about China, not how shit America is right now. Maybe try and stay on topic.
I’m not sure why you think your dad is the fucking topic to be honest.
Because you’re pretending like China is some fucking paradise when they literally tried to keep my family from leaving the fucking country?
We had to hide in a shipping freighter to get out of the country. But sure, go ahead and move to China, citizen.
If you don’t want people to respond to your room temperature take on something don’t post it.
In this particular thread that you commented on, the subject was I deed his father and China,
No, it was not. He tried to make it about that, true.
