The quibbling detail does not change the larger macroeconomic picture.

If you're in China the stock market is incredibly volatile. Buying property is the "safe bet" so everyone does it, often saving aggressively to buy.

80% of urban households own, 20% own a second home as well.

It doesn't matter what the legal details are, in a broad sense the multi trillion dollar real estate industry going broke in a country that only invests in real estate is everyone's problem.

Yeah, but 2 points:

1: the stock market is completely fictitious which is why it is so volatile.

2: only poors invest in chinese real estate, anyone with any real money invests in foreign real estate
