But the article is specifically talking about unfinished projects.

So you don’t have a flat to live in either, you have an abandoned construction site.

Homeownership rate in China is over 95%

What kind of world are we living in where people who have no idea what they are talking about argue with absolute certainty?!

So where do all the renters come from?

https://www.yicaiglobal.com/news/a-quarter-of-china-city-dwellers-rent-survey-shows - same website that your wikipedia link lists as source

But none of that is relevant to the article of this post. That article talks about money to complete unfinished projects. It’s in the very first paragraph. There are people who took out loans to buy pre-construction apartments with plans to live there, who are now in trouble.
