Yeah, this is like utterly bullshit.

Housing prices in china have generally been on the decline since 2021. Really there hyper focusing on like down town motherfucking tier one city apartments despite the fact that chinas infrastructure is so advanced that is is more than possible for someone to live in the cheaper outskirts of town and simply commute by train or bus into the city (this is fairly common in like Hong Kong, onto where living in the city is fucking awful but the wages there aren't that bad, hence most people simply live in nearby Shenzhen and NOT bamboo scaffolding city )
