    There were several dogs outside in the hotel yard, that were very cute. Every day at least one dog disappeared, until there was only one dog left. When we asked the hotel staff what happened to all the dogs,

These homes were abhorrent and were designed basically as rental mills, inflating real estate market prices, blocking precious views of the beaches and city for other neighbors, completely defacing middle-class neighborhoods with ugly crackerbox homes. The local community had enough and pushed for enforcement of zoning laws causing many of these projects to halt in their tracks, and making the investors sell off their properties or pay huge fines.

    When mentioning the property buying abroad by corrupt and criminal Chinese, I recall the onslaught of buyers from China in Australia who snapped up so much premium properties, outbidding everyone else. It caused huge resentment from local Australians and got to a point it was almost pointless going to auctions at all. The only Australians smiling were the greedy real estate agents.
    To think there are now so many of these properties, often sitting empty that are the spoils of massive amounts of laundered money.

      Europe and Canada are paradises We should go there.
      Yeah as an American This is not criticisms it’s just negative hateful nonsense
      Criticizing is where you truthfully criticize is something not wrongfully criticize or generalize everything
      I say that the US healthcare system is all about greed the quality care is good but the cost is ridiculous and it should be universal like other developed countries
      This is true Criticisms
      not like WAAAA our healthcare is full shit our healthcare sis worse than third world countries.

      Communists are communists... they never change!!! From the year 1988 - 2021, China was fooling the world badly by letting the world in believing that China is open and has changed to get a lot of investors! In reality, China has never changed. They just need the big money from investors around the world! Before 1990, China was a very very poor communist country that was closed to the world! They are dictators and tyrants... what do we all expect? The world was fooled and trapped by them... that's all!!!

    I am currently here in Shanghai. We were locked down for 60 days. It’s hard to imagine how an economy could recover from that. This video was good. I would add that China also has a serious birth rate and aging population problem as well, which is why they increased they have increased the amount of children people can have twice now in the last five years. There is also the double reduction policy, which I guess is intended to reduce stress on parents and children as well as a decreased financial burden. The idea is that will free up married couples to have more children. However, it also really acts like way to minimize outside information and increase the amount of propaganda to children.
