Writing exercise

When I searched on line, I found some viewpoints said that the development of Chinese economy is similar with Japanese. Especially the housing industry’s development. As we all know, currently the price of houses in China is very high. But still have a lot of people willing to buy house, they believe the price of houses will still increase. Reference to the economy fast increase period of Japan, house price was very high, people bought houses also. But when the speed slow down, the price of houses was stabilized in a level which most people can afford it. Then people who bought houses with a high price will never earned money through houses. I think that’s like the currect situation of China. But I don’t think the price of houses will decrease because I believe that if the price of something has increased, it will never descend.
