Can China solve its property puzzle with ‘vigorous’ affordable housing push?

Local authorities in China have been encouraged to buy unsold homes to create affordable housing amid efforts to address a property crisis, but many are already struggling with debt.

"China's Ministry of Housing asked local governments in hundreds of cities to “vigorously” buy unsold commercial homes and convert units into affordable housing for the working class." -Ben Norton

"Isn't it ironic that the Chinese housing bubble was cited across the West as a "failure" of the Chinese gov when it was in fact created by runaway private enterprise, only now being resolved by Beijing's intervention...?" -Brian Berletic

      Unfortunately not every other government. Take the whole Eurozone, for example, which has ceded control to the cartel of European private banks. Or Argentina, where Milei recently nearly had Argentina abandon its monetary sovereignty.
