HOW CHINA BURST AN IMPENDING BUBBLE IN IT’S HOUSING MARKET

 

According to Wiki The ‘three red lines’ are what did it.


“In 2017, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) general secretary Xi Jinping's administration started to tighten the real estate market based on the principle that "houses are for living, not for speculation." These remarks came during the 19th CCP National Congress.

The three red lines were the most stringent regulatory measures based on these remarks.[4]: 73  These rules were issued in 2020. They stated property should adhere to the following rules:

  • Liabilities should not exceed 70 percent of assets (excluding advance proceeds from projects sold on contract)
  • Net debt should not be greater than 100 percent equity.
  • Money reserves must be at least 100 percent of short term debt.”

 

It worked, as can be seen in the graph in an earlier posting.

CONCLUSION: Strangling the finance sector works, on it’s own, although questions of Land asset values may also be under scrutiny in PRC.
