Cheap for medium high earner perhaps. I'm talking about zero, even the meituan riders can afford level of cheap
My wife just shown me an old apartment with 2 bedrooms cost around 300k in a big city.
ok I admit that is pretty friggin cheap, may I ask which city?
Still my point stand, we are talking about the first step to implement real communism here!
Nancang, city center.
To add to this, China's economic planning and development has always been underpinned by their demographic structure. The bulk of the housing/infrastructure construction in the past 3 decades has been cheaply and broadly built because of China's abundant surplus of young workers who were available to get into the construction and trades industries. But now with an aging and shrinking workforce, future economic planning (like Xi and draft of the next 5 year plan are saying) will be underpinned by China's surplus of college educated (and broadly in STEM education) workers and focus on high tech and "high quality growth". So I am pretty optimistic about this entire topic of aging, China's economic planners have shown that they really understand how to optimize the "build order" of an economy that effectively compliments their demographic structure and the resources that they have, like a skilled RTS player deeply understanding the timings of the civilization/faction that they're playing.
Some projections are showing China's workforce will have 45% tertiary education by 2040, double what it is now.

IMO, this is all a badly thought-out strategy to ramp up pressure on Western allies to break cleanly with China and pick the USA. I predict you'll see the conditions for the USA-Canadia reproachment. Scrap the China deal, all non-essential trade, and align firmly in the American camp. I think for Greenland and Europe it'll be the same playbook. If you don't want us to do this, then break clearly with China.
This would imply some sort of underlying grand strategy on the part of USA but there's no evidence of that, it looks far more like a fit of pique by Trump for not getting the NPP plus the desire for a legacy of increasing the size of the USA. Really, if ostracising China was the goal, then serioulsy p1ssing off all the allies you would need to implement such a strategy is really not a great idea.
