"'Ghost towns': Evergrande crisis shines a light on China's millions of empty homes"
"Mark Williams, chief Asia economist at Capital Economics, estimates that China still has about 30 million unsold properties, which could house 80 million people. That's nearly the entire population of Germany.
On top of that, about 100 million properties have likely been bought but not occupied, which could accommodate roughly 260 million people, according to Capital Economics estimates. Such projects have attracted scrutiny for years, and even been dubbed China's "ghost towns."
Here's a look at some of those projects, and how the problem first originated."

The problem China would face trying to invade Taiwan right now.. oil/gas/fossil fuel to power the invasion... Not only is it pricey (unless from russia, but following problem remains)
They get it shipped... right through were all the war action would be.
- *whereshapesalad
- Of course, same problem would be faced by Taiwan/Japan... so securing fuel would pretty much determine the war.shapesalad
- So worry if Russia builds direct pipes into China.shapesalad

https://twitter.com/…PonyBoy - It's good IMO to see Chinese people making fun of their own government like this. There's this idea that everyone is just a brainwashed communist drone butyuekit

This is worrisome:

Something to consider behind the rhetoric...the list of China's largest trading partners. Almost all of the top 10 are Western aligned countries, with the USA and EU representing huge markets for China.
Only changes when you get to #8 Vietnam, and Vietnam is not even an ally of China (last war China briefly fought was against Vietnam in the 70s and they lost).
Does China want to blow up their key trading relationships and launch a war with an undetermined outcome, possibly starting WW3? This definitely isn't something you decide to do on a whim as a result of Nancy Pelosi visiting Taiwan, it would represent a hugely destabilizing event for China and the world.
Of course you can say it wasn't at all in Putin's interest to invade Ukraine, but not everyone is as fucked in the head as Putin.

What's behind the China bank runs?
https://www.afr.com/companies/fi…
I don't want to imagine what a China-wide run on the banks would do to China and the world economy, it would be a great-depression level of collapse I think.
- Not really, China's financial system is pretty isolated from the main worldwide system. This is how they are able to hide the failures...grafician
