China is the second country in the world by number of billionares. In europe cinese businessmen with ties to the government have been buying football clubs and luxury shit for a decade.
Wow that website! The way it does the links to references as you scroll is so responsive and smooth.
EDIT: This is an amazing read, thank you for sharing this!
A “curious approach on billionares” sound much like billionares apologia to me. China has greedy vermin billionares like the rest of the world. A quick search for “chinese megayachts” will show what you are looking for.
And i didn’t ask how many megayachts the guy own i asked how many houses he own. You don’t really get to see state functionaries of any state tooling around in megayachts because they all try to keep a low profile, see putin and his proxy yachts.
They aren’t perfect, and as stated elsewhere they are in a period of Dengist based socialism. However, they are extremely successful, very popular within their country from all sources that could be called evidence (especially compared to the US government), and do far less to acquiesce to the billionaires compared to West, seemingly (charging and sentencing billionaires for corruption, cracking down on financiers, etc). I think another user had a good point too about looking at the amount they have per capital.
They are the most successful nation practicing a form of socialism in the modern world and offering an alternative to liberal capitalism.
Wasn’t there a huge scandal with Evergrande surrounding just how much of Chinese requirements were tied to real estate? Doesn’t that directly contradict what Xi saying here?
Not to mention, China has its own homeless problem - let’s not act like they’re doing so much better.
“We will scale up the building and supply of government-subsidized housing and improve the basic systems for commodity housing to meet people’s essential need for a home to live in and their different demands for better housing,” an English-language version of the report said.
Compare that to Obama, who bailed out the private banks at the expense of people with home mortgages, banks that knowingly wrote those bad mortgages. Michael Hudson, 2023: Why the Bank Crisis isn’t Over
The financial sector is the core of Democratic Party support, and the party leadership is loyal to its supporters. As President Obama told the bankers who worried that he might follow through on his campaign promises to write down mortgage debts to realistic market valuations in order to enable exploited junk-mortgage clients to remain in their homes, “I’m the only one between you [the bankers visiting the White House] and the mob with the pitchforks,” that is, his characterization of voters who believed his “hope and change” patter talk.
What an odd thing to wonder. Do you see Chinese state functionaries tooling around the world in megayachts?

Unlike in capitalist states[1][2], the Chinese billionaires don’t run the Chinese state[3][4].

Marxists do be extremely particular, haha

Since you’re not going to actually read it, I guess you’ll never know.
I didn’t say there aren’t billionaires with megayachts, I said, “Do you see Chinese state functionaries tooling around the world in megayachts?”

There’s a reason it’s called critical support.

Yes, which is why the Chinese state intentionally popped the real estate bubble and left the capitalists out to dry.

The Federal Reserve is just the cartel of the US private banks, whereas banking in China is predominantly state owned. The Chinese state both runs these banks and has fiat monetary sovereignty, so it’s not answerable to the capitalists like the US is.
