A ponzi scheme is where you collect investments and pay out the first investors high interest with the early money collected to make it appear you are legitimate and thereby trick more into giving you money.
Buying real estate which goes down in value because the government makes more homes isn’t a ponzi scheme. It’s no different than losing money investing in wheat futures by betting against the US subsidizing farmers. (which creates a surplus.)
What over supply? You mean all the unfinished Ponzi homes?
The Chinese government overbuilt housing. Housing investors didn’t realize gains because there were more homes than people looking for homes.

Sounds like you haven’t heard of Evergrande
I referenced overbuilding above. Overbuilding into bankruptcy isn’t a ponzi scheme.
