The population in china is falling off a cliff....low birth rates, collapsing property prices (the main vehicle for personal investment), slowing ecconomy.

China's population has dropped a few million over the last 5 years, but over the last 20 years they have still gained 100 million people.

So they should have kept pumping property prices until the bubble popped at 3x the size? 5x? 10x?

If China's internal politics was like US internal politics, they would have done exactly that, and it would have been the wrong thing to do.
