I don't think people give a care about China at this point because things are so bad at home. There's really no obvious way that this affects Americans, so why bother talking about it? Plus, the crisis in China has been going on for so long at this point that it's turned into olds.

Same with the other stuff you mentioned: there's nothing really new or interesting with that.

Looking at cnn.com right now, I see stuff like:

> Finnish PM says videos of her 'boisterous' partying shouldn't have been made public

> Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s 2016 plane incident: FBI report reveals new details

I know nothing about the Chinese real estate market, but somehow I feel confident that it will affect more Americans than these two stories combined will.

So has the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, yet it still makes big news.
