A Moishezon manifold is projective if and only if it is Kähler. This is no longer true for a singular Moishezon space. Moishezon proved a projectivity criterion for Moishezon spaces with isolated singularities. It is also known for Moishezon spaces with rational singularities. > **So it is natural to ask: Is it true that a Moishezon space with canonical singularites (in the sense of the minimal model programme) is projective if and only if it is Kähler?** Is the following statement true in general?: > Let $M$ be any compact complex variety with canonical singularities. > Then $M$ is a Moishezon space if and only if there is a proper > analytic subset $S⊂M$, such that $M\setminus S$ admits a complete > Kähler-Einstein metric with negative Ricci curvature. In fact the existence of a Kähler-Einstein metric has been verified for varieties of general type with mild singularites, so this question might be natural to ask. The motivation is the mild singular version of [my recent question][1] **Definition**: A compact complex space $M$ is Moishezon if and only if there exists a weakly positive coherent $\mathcal O_M$-module of rank 1 on $M$.
