    Y’all are dancing on this, but if they go through with it, this is going to cause a run of panic that will wipe out the savings of hundreds of millions of people.

      Evergrande already went bankrupt in 2021 and the general population in China have been mostly shielded from the damage (except the poor billionaires though 😢)

      wipe out the savings

      It’s zero sum to the population. Every dollar lost by an investor is a dollar saved by a new family buying a home.

      I dont care about investors when their investing in real estate has caused housing to skyrocket in price and making renting the only option for many people, myself included, while at the same time those same people will rent out at astronomical rates making many of us live more than paycheck to paycheck.
