Property reciprocity?

There was a spate of stories over the weekend about a big property-promotion fair in China where real estate agents from all over the world were touting the bargains they wanted to sell Chinese buyers. After all, China has a lot of rich people and other countries have a lot of unsold real estate. (No, it is not really unsold. Somebody owns it. But that somebody wants to convert it to cash, and so they are going where they think people might have cash they are willing to part with. It is unsold simply in the sense that they want to sell it but cannot find a buyer willing to buy it for as much as they want to sell it for.)

I have no problem with China-resident Chinese buying property in Japan. Assuming some sure way can be found to collect the property taxes. But I do have a problem with the fact that many of these buyers are buying in Japan because they cannot buy in China.

Apparently, private individuals cannot own land in China. They can rent it long-term from the state, but they cannot claim title to it. And if Chinese cannot own land, neither, I assume, can non-Chinese. So there is an asymmetry. There is a lack of reciprocity. Chinese can own Japanese land but Japanese cannot own Chinese land. Personally, were I making the laws, I would have a law mandating reciprocity — i.e., flatly forbidding Chinese ownership of Japanese land until China allows Japanese ownership of Chinese land on the same terms.
