ShowIntroduction :: CHINA Panel - Collapsed For centuries China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the country was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation.
After World War II, the Communist Party of China under MAO Zedong established an autocratic socialist system that, while ensuring China's sovereignty, imposed strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people. After 1978, MAO's successor DENG Xiaoping and other leaders focused on market-oriented economic development and by 2000 output had quadrupled. For much of the population, living standards have improved dramatically but political controls remain tight. Since the early 1990s, China has increased its global outreach and participation in international organizations.

Here’s What A Chinese Real Estate Expert Says About Whether There’s A Bubble Forming Or Not. Here’s the worst-case scenario: China’s housing market tanks, which sends the country’s financial system into free-fall, taking the global economy down with it.
The result? You lose your job and end up eating only beans and rice as you slog through the next global economic recession. This isn’t hyperbole. As outlined last month on “60 Minutes,” a collapse of China’s real estate market could have formidable global repercussions. If China falls, so could the U.S., in part because the Chinese would have to curb their purchasing of U.S. This is why all eyes are on Chinese real estate, which makes up about a fourth of the world’s fastest-growing economy. So what’s going on besides the fact that the Chinese seem to want to live in cities?

China Home Prices Threaten Stability. Chinese property bubble (2005–2011) The 2005–2011 Chinese property bubble was a real estate bubble in residential and/or commercial real estate in the People's Republic of China .
The bubble started to deflate in late 2011 when housing prices began to fall, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] following policies responding to complaints that members of the middle-class were unable to afford homes in large cities. [ 2 ] The deflation of the property bubble is seen as one of the primary causes for China's declining economic growth in 2012. [ 2 ] The phenomenon had seen average housing prices in the country triple from 2005 to 2009, [ 3 ] possibly driven by both government policies and Chinese cultural attitudes . High price-to-income and price-to-rent ratios for property and the high number of unoccupied residential and commercial units have been cited as evidence of a bubble.

Chinese Homes - Apartment Buildings In the large coastal cities, homes for the majority of people are high rise apartment buildings. It is not unusual to see apartment buildings of 30 floors. Older, low level apartment buildings tend to have no elevators and are walk-ups – which really keeps you in shape when you have to walk to the sixth or ninth floor every day!

Interiors. Chinese kitchens are different from Western kitchens. Often kitchens were not included in house plans. For richer families, cooking was done in the servants' quarters. House Architecture. Homes all over China in pre-modern times had a lot in common. The way of laying out a house was similar among the rich and poor, both in earlier and later times. Certain materials and techniques, such as pounded earth foundations, timber framing, and use of bricks and tile were present throughout the country.
Nevertheless, houses were by no means identical in all parts of China. If we look at houses in different regions we can see much that differed from place to place. Although few examples of Chinese homes have survived from antiquity, using archeological evidence, scholars have determined that many of the basic principles of Chinese house design, such as the emphasis on orientation, layout, and symmetry go far back in Chinese history. Chinese architecture. Diagram of corbel wood bracket supports (" Dougong ") holding up a multi-inclined roof, from the architectural treatise Yingzao Fashi (1103 AD) Chinese architecture refers to a style of architecture that has taken shape in East Asia over many centuries.
The structural principles of Chinese architecture have remained largely unchanged, the main changes being only the decorative details. Since the Tang Dynasty , Chinese architecture has had a major influence on the architectural styles of Korea , Vietnam , and Japan . The architecture of China is as old as Chinese civilization.

IKEA Group, a franchisee of Inter IKEA Systems BV, entered China in 1998 when it opened its first store in Shanghai. IKEA’s mainland China stores belong to the IKEA Group and operate as joint ventures. (IKEA Hong Kong and IKEA Taiwan are separate franchisees.)
A new, redesigned Shanghai store opened in 2003, replacing the original outlet. IKEA opened its first Beijing store in early 1999. Important to this physical expansion, of course, is revenue expansion. In fiscal year 2003, PRC factories produced nearly a quarter of IKEA’s goods; the company aims to produce more than a third of its goods locally in the next four years.
