      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.

      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.

      I don’t want to turn this into a homeowners association / HOA gripe-fest, but we “own” our home, and I’m not allowed to put a bird-feeder on my balcony, according to HOA rules. This is in freedom-loving USA.
