China's Real Estate Bubble May Have Just Popped; The Two Year Anniversary Of "China's Ghost Cities" Epic Keynesian Fail; China - 64 million vacant condos
Foreign Affairs For years analysts have warned of a looming real estate bubble in China, but the predicted downturn, the bursting of that bubble, never occurred?that is, until now. In a telling scene two months ago, Shanghai property developers started slashing prices on their latest luxury condos by up to one-third. Crowds of owners who had recently bought apartments at full price converged on sales offices throughout the city, demanding refunds. Some angry investors went on a rampage, breaking windows and smashing showrooms.
The Two Year Anniversary Of ?China?s Ghost Cities? Epic Keynesian Fail
Zero Hedge Two years ago we first covered the flip side of the Chinese real estate ?boom? story by presenting the ghost city of Ordos. Today, on the two year anniversary of China?s Keynesian miracle being exposed for the whole world to see, Al Jazeera goes back to Ordos to see if anything has changed. And while Paul Krugman may be shocked, shocked, that the Keynesian approach of building for the sake of building does not work not only in the US but pretty much everywhere, it will be no surprise to anyone, that as Al Jazeera concludes, ?it?s still pretty quiet, but here?s the remarkable thing - the building has?t stopped, somehow people are convinced that if you keep building, people will come. If not in a few years, then? eventually.? And somehow we keep bashing the Fed as the only source of Einsteinian insanity, when it is the same cretins from the Princeton economics department in both the monetary and fiscal arena, who know one thing and one thing only - do whatever ultimately fails, just keep on doing it.
