Abstract

This chapter reveals the negative impacts of distorted urbanisation, that is the excessive currency quantitative easing, the high-risk housing bubble and the recession in farming and manufacturing. All of our observations indicate that China has chosen an imbalanced growth model after material production lost its growth momentum. The rise of the real estate market has compensated to a great extent the decline in farming and manufacturing but with a heavy price to pay: firstly, there is a sack-in effect on liquidity that is channelled to the housing market; secondly, there is the heavy indebtedness among local governments and private households and, thirdly, there is an elbow-out effect on household consumption budgets due to a zero-sum game between food and shelter.

The concept of ‘comparative advantage’ has widely been misused as the ‘advantage of specific economic endowment possessed by an economy’, be it cheap ore, cheap capital or cheap labour. By the definition of the classical economics, however, internationally cheap or plentiful endowments are always qualified as ‘absolute advantage’. ‘Comparative advantage’ is a relative term, meaning that an economy may benefit from external trade despite more expensive ore, capital and labour at home.

Rural residents are permitted to build their homes on their allocated land plots. So, very few rural residents need to buy properties in cities. Therefore, the 2015 urban population figure serves as a proxy for urban home buyers.
