Oversupplied and overheated: China's housing policy dilemma
Report summary
China's housing market has been booming in 2016. At the end of September, China launched its 'Housing 930' policy, a package of regulations aimed at cooling the overheated housing markets in major cities. But will the policy work as hoped?

More importantly, do changing housing policies threaten China’s economy?
