    Uh if the 90% overall homeownership rate isn’t “backing it up” I want to know how you define “better”

        Why? Do you have evidence that suggests otherwise? Is there a particular reason you’re so adamant that China’s system must be worse than the commodified system we have in the west?

          I’m not being adamant and I don’t hold that opinion. That’s why I’m asking for sources.

          Until told otherwise, I hold that it’s just as bad as every other system. None are good, just different.

            You realize you can type “china homeownership rate” into any search engine and find a wealth of information? Even from outlets that are generally deeply biased against China. It’s a pretty strong consensus.

            Waiting for information to come to you is only going to expose you to narratives that someone has a vested interest in putting in front of you. Someone that’s trained and paid to pander to you is going to do it a lot better than a regular well-meaning person that belongs to your class and shares your material interests.

              I don’t do the work to back up somebody else’s opinion. And clearly other narratives have been put in front of me - look at this thread. None of it is backed up with anything but words except by me. Like, I literally sourced the Chinese government for stuff, but please tell me how me asking for somebody else to put a modicum of work into backing up what they believe is my problem.

                Bish, you dug up a bunch of sources on this elsewhere in the thread. Very specific claims from the larger topic, Chinese home ownership. The idea that you dont know the figures is laughable based on your other replies.

                What’s actually happening here is you’re JAQing off and being a cretin. Learn to search for basic facts and go fuck yourself
