  2. I saw that. Billions and billions spent just to prop up their market. I doubt that several hundred million Chinese citizen investors are going to sit quietly while their real estate investments go belly up. They bought these apartment/condo's at very infalted prices, and like their American counterparts are now underwater in a big way.
