These sour grapes have long been fermented into Napa Valley sweet dessert wine.
As @Napoleon (the Little Corporal of Zimbabwe) declared on his high horse, "this isn't demolition one-upsmanship."
Granted I wholeheartedly agree with your last sentence, are you really going to compare Cuihui with the heart of the Dragon, let alone apartment v.s. land - of which the present value could eat up the upper bulk of 俊园 across from OP's former residence?
For what it's worth, please give my regards to your Chinese wife's Beijing classmate for her/his time ;)
Before CPC rule, as insinuated ad nauseam and ad infinitum... apparently you didn't go back far enough.
For fear of China's deep learning algorithms running on Quantum architecture in five years - retroactively biting me in the arse, I'll refrain from disclosing specifics.
What you and @Napoleon failed to understand, whereas @JanJal partially did, and @Geezer more so albeit sugarcoated a Disney version of history, was the the question of when. Persistently asking "where" our dispute land was the wrong question.
The "founding father" I was referring to predated the one aforementioned in your soliloquy... as was the status quo institution of law governing soil sovereignty, before the Imperial Japanese Army came knocking.
To your point of impermanence in ownership... civil wars or foreign invasion/occupation may likewise shatter America's "illusion" of true land ownership in a blink of an eye...
say, cannabis infused Californians hypothetically overthrew Trump 'Merica in a treasonous coup d'état, seizing all Trump Tower land deeds. The former First Family can try and sue the new, interim Cali regime to no avail. Vice versa in a parallel, alternate universe where the Confederates defeated the Union of the North.
Perhaps the Native American Indians, whom the early western colonists drove into near extinction got it right - the land was not something to be divided up, sold or owned by any one person... as @aienew alluded to.
My willingness of risking loose stools for chocolate brownies, cheesecakes, and New Zealand ice creams is to be blamed.
I suspect the indigestive culprits were the Turkish doner kebab or the Indian curry, otherwise the buffet isn't shabby. Wyndham Hotel buffet (w/ all-you-can-eat Häagen-Dazs) across from from 南亚 is better, but I digress.
I'd advise DJ Yves V to stay away from Wanda Vista's first floor western buffet two hours prior to his gig/set... had two terrible diarrhea cases in the 5 times I've eaten there.
If in fact this project would draw watercourse away from India or Bangladesh, where many ruralites have ecologically relied on their downstream rivers, it would risk reigniting geopolitical "rock-throwing" tensions... but i'm guessing they've already conducted cost-benefit analysis. Chinese droughts and lack of arable lands have always been a major national concern.
This may explain the rumored plan in Dali, Yunnan... all guest houses within 100 meters of Erhai Lake are to be handed over to the government for oversight.
