Yes, and I’ve seen lots of stories of families investing in high-rise condos for sons—thinking it’s the only way to get them married— only to find the developer walking out before construction is complete. Anger has been simmering and sometimes boiling over for a few years now.
A mortgage payment boycott kicked off not long ago, and it’s been spreading (and I can totally see where the average Chinese person is coming from on that one), which is likely fueling banking sector instability.
