Population Growth (2014 estimate): 0.44%
By the year 2050 over 70% of all Chinese will live in Urban Areas.
China has 34 provincial-level administrative units:
23 provinces,
4 municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing),
5 autonomous regions (Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Ningxia, Xinjiang)
and 2 special administrative regions (Hong Kong, Macau).

The market reacts when housing prices take a dramatic fall - The Market Crashes
There is to much housing inventory and no Buyers because prices are to high
China has over 64 million vacant apartment units
With a 4 to 7 year supply of housing inventory

HOW DID IT HAPPEN?
THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT DEVELOPED A LOOSE MONETARY POLICY
WHICH FULLED INCREASE BORROWIG BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, DEVELOPER/BUILDERS AND INDUSTRIAL COMPANIES
The Chinese Government thought that a stimulus program was a good idea to kick-start the economy and trigger investment and growth
The rise in Real Estate prices was triggered by the credit infusion of 2009 to enhance economic growth amidst the U.S. Financial Crisis
So in Theory it was the Harrod-Domar Model at work
THE IMPACT OF THE HOUSING CRISIS.....
China became the wild west of speculative borrowing and building
Housing Bubble took an unsustainable turn and left millions of Chinese citizens vulnerable
It ignored simple land ethics; citizen's ability to adapt to rapid expansion
the relationship between man and the environment
low-income rice farmers and their fields
It forced millions of Chinese to jump between adaptation and transformation strategies
