*๐จ๐ณ Chinaโs Real Estate Meltdown: 18 Trillion Gone ๐จ๐๏ธ*
Chinaโs property market has now lost a staggering *18 trillion* in value since 2021 โ *more than the total U.S. losses during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis*. Thatโs historic. ๐๐ฅ
๐งฑ What Happened?
- Over-leveraged developers (like *Evergrande* ๐๏ธ) defaulted
- Buyer confidence collapsed ๐ฌ
- Ongoing economic slowdown + strict policies = sustained pressure
๐ก Why It Matters:
- Real estate makes up *~25-30% of Chinaโs GDP*
- Middle-class wealth is *heavily tied to property* โ this hurts consumer spending
- Global spillover risk: weak Chinese demand = trouble for commodities, exports, and even crypto liquidity
๐ฎ Predictions:
- Beijing may *step in harder* with stimulus ๐ฆ
- But deep structural reform is needed โ *quick fixes wonโt work long-term*
- Investors may start reallocating capital into *non-real estate assets*, including *crypto and tech stocks* ๐น
๐งโโ๏ธ Takeaway:
The bubble has burst. A slow grind to recovery is more likely than a quick rebound.
