90% of families in the country own their home giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world. What’s more is that 80% of these homes are owned outright, without mortgages or any other leans. https://www.forbes.com/sites/wadeshepard/2016/03/30/how-people-in-china-afford-their-outrageously-expensive-homes

Oh no, the state in China prevents rich assholes from buying up and hoarding property, how terrible!

I suspect there’s also an aspect of chauvinism here at play. If people already have a predisposition to see themselves as superior, then these kinds of stories feed into what they already want to believe.
Aww y’all still mad your color revolution failed?
European politicians are too busy seeing how far their tongues can reach up Trump’s ass to do that.
I would bet money in it happening at this point, and all the European ‘leaders’ pretending like it’s completely normal.
The EU is not willing to refute Trump’s statement that “the EU needs us to have Greenland and they know that.”
