<…> referendum with like 90% support <…>
It’s easy to get high support when there are no people to vote in the referendum. Many people fled their homes, others protested the vote as illegitimate. And then Russia imported like cattle a bunch of Russians from the homeland before announcing the referendum.
If they were all so pro-Russia annexation all the time, that would have been showed in prior elections, right? Well, data shows that wasn’t the case. Even when pro-Russia parties or coalitions won in the past, it was only to show solidarity with Russia not annexation.

That is not really the case. China used the real estate market to boost GDP grow on paper (it did have real grow it was just highly inflated) by forcing local governments to borrow unrealistic amounts of money via special bonds and now the whole market is stagnant as they can no longer keep up with that debt.
And Chinease citizens did see it as worthy investment, but after the crash they got burned and now are not investing at all which just deepens the issue.
