金融服務機構野村證券的分析師估計,2013年至2020年之間,中國開發商只交付了預售房屋的60%左右。分析師補充說,在這些年裡,中國的未償還抵押貸款增加了26.3萬億元。去年,房地產行業被推到了風口浪尖,當時出現了恆大難以償還債權人的情況,引發了恐慌,這個佔中國GDP約四分之一的行業被認為正處於崩潰的邊緣。
牛津經濟研究院首席經濟學家胡東安(Tommy Wu)在一份報告中說,購房者支付貸款的能力不是主要問題。他指出,對開發商失去信心將加劇房地產的衰退,「住房銷量和價格下降,開發商的困境加劇,以及地方政府財政惡化---這一惡性循環的可能性令人擔憂。」

Although much attention has been on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, the real potential for a military showdown comes now that she has left.
China’s military has said it will conduct a series of live-fire drills beginning on Thursday. A post on Chinese state media offered coordinates for six swaths of sea surrounding Taiwan, three of which overlap with areas that Taiwan says are a part of its territorial waters.
Some of the areas are inside what Taiwan says are its territorial waters, and they are closer to Taiwan than similar areas announced during the Taiwan Strait crisis in the mid-1990s.
