I wonder if most of China's food is "home-grown" and if so, are we talking problems with climate affecting crops? A world-wide famine is going to have a much more worrying effect on everyone than property prices. If property becomes affordable again perhaps they should come complete with greenhouses and decent sized vegetable gardens.
