If the leaks and rumors are true, Beijing stands ready to launch a new and radical solution to the economy’s property crisis – a government takeover. What the authorities refer to as “a new model” would replace the old emphasis on ownership with more rentals and use government funds to buy up bankrupt properties so that in time the government’s role in real estate would rise from 5% of the market at present to 30%. Such an act would surely take the nation back to its communist roots if not quite the days of Mao Zedong. If it would veil the property crisis for a time, it would in the long run do tremendous damage to China’s economic prospects.
This dude has written at least 9 China bad articles in the last month.
getting some of this probably. wonder if a FOIA would be able to find out where it all goesEDIT: apparently this money passed the senate but never actually became law. my apologies
We need to create an organization and start requesting funds from this and pump out a bunch of “china is bad because it gives housing for low prices” articles
sorry it looks like I was misinformed. the money passed the senate, but didn’t make it into the CHIPS and Science act which is the one that actually got signed by Genocide Joe
Is this actually in effect?
the law passed, yeahit looks like this house bill did not advance, but another bill, the Strategic Competition Act of 2021, contained the same $300 million annual funding
despite the reporting here saying it passed, I can’t find confirmation of that on the congress.gov page for it. I’m not familiar enough yet with the legislative databases to read these tea leaves.
EDIT: okay this was quite a rabbit hole, it became the Innovation and Competition Act, which did contain the 300m language, which passed but did not become law. the one that did become law is called the CHIPS and Science act, and so far I do not see the 300m to counter Chinese influence money in it. well, shit. I really thought it was law but it just passed the Senate looks like. my apologies

It’s hard being American and realizing your government doesn’t give a shit about you and spends all its resources committing genocide
