Chinese Real Estate Bubble Pops

People have been talking about the real estate bubble in China for several years, its prices high and speculation rife. What goes up will eventually come down. An article in Foreign Affairs by Patrick Chovanec declares there is evidence the real estate bubble of China has burst.
