Singapore's 99 year vs China's 70 year leases
Randy W posted a topic in The Middle Kingdom - 中国,
In China you OWN your property indefinitely. If the government wants to take "their land" back, they will need to replace the home with a new equivalent home at 1.3 times the floor space. Nobody actually holds a lease - the developers who bought it in the first place have LONG since disappeared.
That is, the "lease" applies to the land only.

Randy W posted a topic in Culture & Language Discussion,
