Inspiration:

  • Peter Zeihan argues that China faces a real-estate valuation collapse

  • The causes are:

    • There is an over-supply of housing in China - estimated 1.5 billion of units demand shortfall relative to stock of units

    • This over-supply was a result of over-building by companies like Evergrande and the fact that Chinese households pool 70-80% of their savings into property (being the mainly trusted investable asset to hold wealth in the country)

    • This over-building meets non-sufficient number of people under 45 years old in China who would demand housing units

This question is excellent, buuut I think the title could use some work? Unless I’m misunderstanding it’s more like

“Will the value of Chinese housing stock fall below 20% of face value?” (By 2031)

If it won’t all fit, maybe “Chinese housing stock falls below 20% face value by 2031”

Idk, just suggestions - I really like the market! I’ll boost/subsidise it but wanted to give a chance to polish the title first so that more people bet
