If you are curious about the situation in China, you’ll find the videos interesting and enlightening.
In a nutshell, China is fucked up.
Wonder why people buy apartments for no reason in China?
One reason is that you are identified by the “home registration” , so hundreds of millions of people who are from rural areas are identified as second class citizens who have no privileges or access to social services like a resident although they may live and work in the city.
This system started with Mao, and persisted until 2019. People hope to buy their way to a better “home registration”
600 million Chinese live on $145/month or less.
CCP officials and relatives are 86% of the people who have $100 million or more. Most CCP officials have sent relatives to live in the West so they can someday make their escape.
Etc etc. I always knew that the Chinese success and “Confucian values” stuff was bullshit.
Here's an interesting tidbit. CCP took all the land after Mao. Now it leases the land for revenue and corruption. Developers bribe CCP guys and get suckers to prepay $400,000+ for a condo. Many are never completed, or are in ghost cities.
