Spanish media outlet mocks framing of China's falling housing prices as a "crisis"
By
Tremending
Summary
The article is a sarcastic/satirical commentary reacting to a Spanish economic newspaper (El Economista) that described China's housing market situation as a "crisis" because new home prices have been falling for 36 consecutive months. The author mocks this framing, pointing out that falling prices make housing more affordable in 52 of China's 70 major cities, and that over 90% of Chinese residents are homeowners. The piece criticizes Western media's tendency to frame housing affordability improvements as a crisis, contrasting it with Spain's own unaffordable housing market.
