Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Home prices across China are falling

Far as I read. We need to do whatever China is doing.

The goal, the policy advisers say, is to increase the share of housing built by the state for low-cost rental or sale under restricted conditions to at least 30% of China’s housing stock, from 5% or so today.

I'm amazed China's market had already been 95% privatized.

China's whole deal is to let the national bourgoisie to the initial development and then merc them and take it over once it reaches 1st world standards. they had a big job in urbanising a billion people, and they had far less development than the Soviets.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago

Hell they don't even need to merc them, capitalist development requires catastrophes, and you just move in to actually clean up the mess and take over ownership. It's only in backwards ass countries like the U.S. that you bail them out and let them maintain ownership. Dictatorship of the bourgeoisie indeed.

haters will say it's capitalism

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 44 points 5 months ago (4 children)

lol I love asking people who claim China is capitalist why it consistently produces different outcomes from the actual capitalist countries, I never get an answer

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago

What you don't have the galaxy brain to understand is that it's actually just Real Capitalism Without The Freedom

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They will say it’s because they mix Nazism and communism and capitalism together

[–] The_Jewish_Cuban@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

This sounds like a totally coherent non-vibes based understanding of the world nerd

[–] Rod_Blagojevic@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's a good bit of rhetoric. I'm gonna use it.

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 5 months ago

in particular it's really useful to contrast with the way India developed since both started roughly in the same place

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

Inb4 they hit you with the "Chinese are naturally conditioned to be wage slaves and they like it" and you realize you have to figure out how to escape from this person.

people are doubting whether real estate will ever be a viable investment again

[–] goog@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

Haha you guys need our foreign investment forever right? Guys? ... ?!

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago

Fully stocked on rope now I suppose

[–] someone@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago

But at what cost?

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago

It's happening? costanza-maoist

[–] FanonFan@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Real mean trick omitting "China" and getting all us "headline-only readers" hopes up

This is on the Five Year Plan

I thought this was about CPUSA's real estate company for a second.

[–] HeavenAndEarth@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Does anyone know what this means practically?

[–] goog@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

Global capital succ complete. Time to kill westoids by exporting tractors to the sahel

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 5 months ago

Basically, investors are going to lose a bunch of money as real-estate companies go under, and the government will take over the industry to make sure projects are completed and workers aren't losing jobs.
