> As for China: over 70% of household wealth there is tied to real estate. Compare that to the US, where it's less than half of that and even if you assume pension funds pour all their money into real estate, it's still less.
That feels wrong. For most households, their biggest investment by far is their house. Few households which do not own a house have any kind of investment.
So if only 35% of all household wealth is in real estate, I would wager you have some outliers skewing the numbers (i.e. billionaires).
(This is not a criticism, just trying to reconcile the numbers)
