"Home ownership" means owning your home. You can argue the semantics. But at the end of the day either you own your home or not. And in China you do not.
never heard of eminent domain?
You only "own" a house as long as you can rely on the police to enforce your claim. The concept is the same. It's just in China they made a policy decision not to enforce landlords' claims in order to reduce inequality.
low effort try harder
Then you don't own it in a western country either because as soon as you stop paying your property tax then you lose your home. You're just regurgitating nonsense without actually thinking about it.
