    Some houses in China reached 70 years legal ownership time, now what?

    Well, everyone knows it's a leasehold but somehow believe that the government will compensate them when the leases expire. It's the same in SG many years ago until the government had to come out and warn that there will be no compensation from the government after 99 years is up. The market...

    Some houses in China reached 70 years legal ownership time, now what?

    What's wrong with that? The contract indicates leasehold, not freehold.

    Some houses in China reached 70 years legal ownership time, now what?

    Same in Singapore. It's controversial, but I think it's fair. Otherwise the prime land bought by the wealthier segment of the population today can perpetually pass down the property/land to their descendants. What about maintenance? Who pays for the redevelopment if it's torn down?

    China and Vietnam have a shared future and are “comrades and brothers",President Xi Jinping says in Lunar New Year note to fellow communist leader

    Some of them are hyper nationalistic and glass-hearted. Like just look at post #91, that poster getting all mad because I didn't 'defend Chinese culture' (his words lol) when I pointed out that it is bad taste to argue over Lunar New Year/Chinese New Year, what's more committing vandalism over...

    Prime minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong wish people a happy Chinese New Year, encouraging young couples to have more "Rabbit babies"

    Obviously he's meaning to say please have more babies this year. Because at 1.12 TFR we're going to shrink by half every few decades without immigration. There are plenty of cities denser than Singapore. Then there's HK with like 90% undeveloped land.

    Japan PM says country on the brink over falling birth rate, number of children born in Japan fell to a new record below 800,000 in 2022

    East Asia will likely continue shrinking for this century and beyond, I see this as their greatest threat. With the total fertility rate close to half of the replacement rate, each generation of babies (~25 years) will shrink by half. There will be a narrow neck of young people to support the...

    Japan PM says country on the brink over falling birth rate, number of children born in Japan fell to a new record below 800,000 in 2022

    China and Japan are too populous for immigration to be a viable solution. Also, East Asian societies are generally too nationalistic and xenophobic to accept immigrants on a large scale. You see what they even quarrel among themselves? Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year, Dragon Boat festival...

    Japan PM says country on the brink over falling birth rate, number of children born in Japan fell to a new record below 800,000 in 2022

    No they can't. Their TFR is only 1.3 and they have more than 120mil+ people. Immigration can do little to slow down East Asia's aging and population decline, which is set in stone.

    Japan saw record trade deficit of $155.27 billion in 2022

    Lol. As a percentage of GDP, Japan actually relies more on their domestic market than China. If Japan doesn't have a large domestic market and has to rely on trade surpluses (they are already recording trade deficits for most of the past decade btw), it means all other countries except the US...
