    Their perfect knowledge on indian affairs being political or social is way beyond common Chinese, even the ones being living abroad for decades like me. They just simply lowered the quality of forum. Anyway, I am glad that senior members like you, @Joe Shearer and others senior members have...

    Interesting. According to the footnote, the value is estimated by using per capita residential GFA × population × average rst-hand residential price. I will dig around and see whether I can find the underlying data.

    Dream Empire – China’s Real Estate Bubble - DW Documentary

    The chart of real estate value looks pretty stretched, not sure I will put too much weight on it if they are sourced from a WeChat account. What I look at is a report from Savills (a reputable global real estate data/research provider ). The total RE in China was valued at 39t USd, about 4...

    Dream Empire – China’s Real Estate Bubble - DW Documentary

    My only minor issue with the documentary is that some villagers claim they are not compensated for being relocated.

    Almost 5,000 Bangladeshi garment workers sacked over strikes

    19 USD per month avg salary sounds too off relative to GDP per capital in 2008. The current average salary ($90 per month I saw somewhere? if I am not wrong) would be about right with an average GDP per capital of $1500 in Bangladesh. The average salary and GDP per capital are two different...
