    Chinese people will need 30 years of disposible income to purchase an apartment; compare to 3 in the U.S.

    Who can afford a condo with 3 years disposable income in the US? My spouse and I make above average money in a below average cost city and we couldn’t afford a condo here.

            Honestly, I am quite surprised how low tankies are willing to go to defend China. As a Chinese, it is very disheartening to me that people have never experienced or seen the suffering of living under an authoritarian government, are more willing to blindly defend it, than having a intellectual discussion.

            Compare the prison population of the US to China’s lol.

              It is hard to imagine that an adult talks like this. People points out most Chinese own homes, as if it is some policies that the west can learn from. I pointed out the stats that proved it is more about culture than China’s housing market.

              Yet you are here just side stepping every way, accusing unrelated stuff, just to defend the CCP. I used to think people here who worship CCP are just misinformed, but you have proved that you are simply vile and obsessed.

              It is totally okay with me that there are grown adults who have the mind of a teenager; I just feel dishearten about other people misled by your propaganda, simply because they, in their good nature, decides to trust your posts and comments.

              There is no point in continuing this discussion, since you clearly are not in good faith and are just trolling around. I hope you feel good about yourself one day and start having proper conversations.

              See you in my block list. Bye.
