Once the economy collapses, neither the government, enterprises, nor consumers would want to see housing prices fall, right? The key point is that if the government's measures to prevent the real estate bubble are misunderstood as "pushing down housing prices," that is the real risk. Why? Because this misinterpretation will intensify market anxiety, and ultimately inflation becomes the straw that breaks the camel's back for the entire economy. The government's original intention is quite clear — not to crash housing prices, but to prevent prices from soaring out of control. However, if public opinion and market participants generally interpret these policies aimed at steady growth as measures to suppress the real estate market, it will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions. Investors panic, consumers hold back, capital flows become chaotic, and ultimately inflation will strangle everyone, with no one escaping. Therefore, the key is to understand the true intent of the policies, rather than being deceived by surface phenomena.
