This link does not disprove the point. Home ownership isn’t the same thing, you can have families that rent, they aren’t homeless either.
Using the same source there is twice as many homeless (relative to population) in china than in spain, for example.
Not saying that the number is high in China, I don’t know what’s the average for all countries, but saying that there isn’t a lot of homeless because 90% of the non homeless own their house is wrong.
Not to mention that if you’ve visited any Chinese city in the past few years, you won’t see any of the slums or homeless that you see in the neoliberal countries.

Most of the poverty alleviation campaigns were well underway by 2012, so I’d be interested to see what those numbers are now.
But also, China is responsible for ~3/4ths of the reduction in world poverty via these campaigns.
