China rescues people, not investors. 😏

[–] protist@mander.xyz 21 points 11 months ago (20 children)

That's quite a fantasy you're telling yourself. A huge portion of China's people's wealth is wrapped up in real estate, and tens of millions of stalled residential units have already been purchased by the Chinese people, and that money is now gone, taken by the developers.

The IMF recommendation here was "to deploy 'one-off' fiscal resources to complete and deliver pre-sold properties or compensate homebuyers." That would literally be rescuing the Chinese people who were burned by developers. Instead, the Chinese government is supporting the tech and manufacturing industries. Don't pretend like China is some paradise where the common people aren't getting fucked

Oh no! The millionaire is now not a billionaire... And the developer was sentenced to life in prison.

Anyway...

How is a family spending their money on an apartment they now won’t receive “a millionaire that is not a billionaire”? Not to mention, China loves billionaires. They have more of them than the US. It’s a fascistic shithole.

Why are you lying? They bailed out buyers. And no it's not. Are you a fed? https://redsails.org/china-has-billionaires/
