Why don't Chinese people choose to rent a house?

Although the house price is soaring, many Chinese people would rather ask loans from banks to buy a house than rent a house. Why? Is it due to the traditional concepts? Constrained by the traditional concepts, people who do not have their own house look like the duckweed in the pond. House is the must for them.

Except the influence of traditional concepts, is there any other reasons?

I think the tradition plays a very important role in people's mind.

My father, a respected and successful real estate man, told me, "The home you live in is the best investment you will ever make."

Yes, it is the traditional thoughts drive. A rental house is at any means not theirs, not to say their home, the harbor of our heart.
Besides, from the farsighted view, buying a house is more worthy than renting a house.

Agree with Ellen. No one knows what will the house price be in the future. If the rent also hikes like the house price, people will burden the same pressure. On the other hand, when you are getting older and older, your income will also decrease. At that time, who will pay the rent for you?

If you don't have your own house, you may feel that you don't have a home. Once I was told to move within 48 hours by my houseowner and it's really a terrible experience for me.
