I show how “fake equity” reshapes urban development, hides risk, and deepens the financialization of China’s housing system — with big implications for governance and inequality.

📄 If you’re interested in housing, finance, this one’s for you.

Online first: Financialization versus technologization: Can technology replace finance in global hegemony? - Ang Liu, 2025 https://t.co/vFZgcahNDH
“This paper argues that technologization remains structurally embedded within financialized circuits of capital accumulation rather than achieving systemic independence. The rise of digital finance, venture capital, and high-frequency trading exemplifies how financial markets dictate the trajectory of technological development, prioritizing short-term financial gains over long-term productive innovation.”

"US commercial real estate probably won't recover from crisis until 2040, thanks to out-of-fashion office buildings, economist says"

This is about as bearish as I've seen on office real estate.

If there is a deeper change in this year’s Party Congress speech compared to previous ones, it’s probably the elevation of stability to an end-in-itself, as opposed to merely a precondition for economic growth. The latter has, in fact, been somewhat de-emphasized (see below).
