Had a lovely WeChat conversation with my 96 year old revolutionary grandfather a couple days ago and at one point he hit me with the “You should buy property over there to rent out, it’s very lucrative, and you should take the 老外’s money and spend it in China”
I actually had no idea how to respond to this financial advice. Like at face value, the housing market is a bubble and could collapse at any moment, and also I’m not sure how moral being a parasite would be even if you’re leeching off of the benefactors of colonialism and western hegemony.
The Maoist uprising against the landlords was the most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history resulting in near totally equal distribution of land amongst the peasantry.
