I've heard many Chinese tell me that property is a good speculative investment because China is increasingly urbanizing, meaning those farmers move to the city have to live somewhere. But how can a poor farmer pay for that $1 million apartment the speculators are hoping to sell to them? It doesn't make sense.

The poor farmer wont buy that $1 million apartment - but maybe the family that sells their $150,000 apartment to the farmer will

There is no such thing as an apartment for $150k in Beijing. Maybe an ant tribe sub basement room without ventilation or a window?
