From a China Securities Journal front-age editorial today. Says:

  • The era of strong property investment growth has probably come to an end
  • Almost no more room for property investment growth in smaller cities with lots of empty developments in third and fourth tier cities
  • Talk of a return to 30% growth levels is a pipe dream
