If there are too many people living in the area, move out.

A piece of property is only more valuable than another because of the state granted owner ability to exclude others. That and the building-code-enforced use of centuries old technology in making domiciles.

If those 100 million chinese had real choices, they would be just as likely as you to want some elbow room. If they didn't, then they would pick an urban area.
