      If this was five years ago, I’d agree with you. But the Chinese national government has been clamping down on new construction for the past few years. China is also experiencing almost no population growth.

      There was always going to be a time for China to stop building housing because the supply would eventually outstrip demand. Now seems to be near that time.

      He argues that these developments are seen as an investment for the future and promote development with timescales of over 20 years

      Yeah good luck with that.as China’s current population growth has them going to less than a billion over the next decades.

      If there are too many houses right now, wait some 50 years
