Oh Hotz. You're such a good propagandist, it's a shame you don't get paid for it. But you're just grasping at straws here.
All land is ultimately held by the sovereign. I can no more sell my house to a foreign government than I can build a foreign military base on it. The sovereign determines the mechanisms by which land can be held. "Ownership" in the US is defined by English Common Law. China doesn't follow English Common Law, so of course their definition of "ownership" will be different. Remember that "ownership" is a made up concept and a made up word that only has meaning within specific legal frameworks and the meaning is defined by those legal frameworks.
In China, "ownership" has time limits, and those time limits are essentially one human lifespan. This is a solution to the inheritance problem that people in the US are still trying to figure out how to solve. Instead of a definition of ownership like in Common Law where I can get Title to a Parcel of Real Property and then I can Transfer Title of that Real Property to a Trust and then have that Trust Administer the Real Property for all of my children and their children and their children, China's system says you can own it for a generation and then it's up for review.
This prevents winner-take-all economics. This prevents financial speculation reducing the housing supply. This prevents tax dodging and other anti-social behaviors.
It's the Chinese legal system's mechanism of ownership. Just because it's not English Common Law doesn't mean it's lying, propaganda, subordination, or serfdom.
You're really grasping at straws and hoping it works to convince people but all you do is prove to our shared audience that you are irrational, driven by something other than truth, and ultimately that what you say cannot be trusted
