China’s housing woes may reverberate as far away as the U.S. As China grapples with problems of its own, foreign investment is likely to diminish.
China has pledged “fast and heavy-handed investment” in housing and infrastructure through 2010 and a “relatively loose” monetary policy in a plan unveiled Nov. 9. The package offered funding for housing, infrastructure, railways, power grids, social welfare and rebuilding.

I have a friend in china who not long sold their house for 20% less than what he purchased it for. He had the property on the market for 7 months as well. So it seems that no matter where you are your not immune to this global economic slowdown
Greenspan and Bernake should be charged with economic “War Crimes”.
