If you keep getting your understanding of China from Five Eyes propaganda and corporate media, you’ll keep being wrong.
.
Corporate media paint China in the worst possible light they can get away with, because this is a cold war in which propaganda is a major component, just like last time. They absolutely do not want you to notice anything that makes capitalism look worse by comparison. Plus they get flak and lose access to sources if they don’t.
China paints China in the worst possible light, actually. Hell, even their mass produced fake electronics paint a grim picture at the micro level of how that country operates.
That's also hysterical that you are bitching about western propaganda, when China is the undisputed king of bulk fake news.
You sound like one of these shills, actually. You didn't post anything useful, but rather, just regurgitated some random poor-China schtick.

Where do most iPhones and other smartphones and laptops come from? What country has more high speed rail trackage than every other country combined? Yes, they will also output cheap crap if companies are willing to sell them.
Where to start…

Below is a copypasta of my own comment last week, in response to someone’s weapons-grade gish gallop: “I’m pretty sure the Tiananmen square massacre was a bigger crime. Not to mention their genocide of the Uighur people, their oppression of Hong Kong, their attempts to steal Taiwan’s sovereignty.”
This bullshit never ends, does it?
Hong Kong was the product of the UK’s century of Chinese oppression, and their 99 year lease on oppressing Hong Kong ended in 1997.
Taiwan is only considered sovereign by eleven countries, most of which are micronations like the Holy See, the Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_status_of_Taiwan
I guess some things just never actually happened.

The banality of liberalism.
My country is manufacturing consent for a World War III that could end in nuclear winter, and I dissent.
Delete more of my posts you coward.

Reporter, I’d like to know how an anti-imperialist stance is reactionary or how a debunking of Five Eyes propaganda is tribalist.

There was enough pent up demand in the Chinese property market to fill these cities, but the national government saw overall demand would fall as early as 2021 when it started restricting some types of construction projects, like some skyscrapers and subway lines. You are also seeing some provinces adding in perks for buying property, like hokou registration.
It seems like China has mostly cought up to a lot of its demand for urban residential property. This is a problem as most municipalities and provinces have relied on property development as a way to fund local services.
The Chinese property crisis may end up being on post with the American mortgage crisis in 2007-2008. However, the Chinese crisis will look very different compared to the American one.
