China is warning away property speculators, at the AFR:
China warned property speculators against holding false hopes for a price rally, in a report on Monday by state news agency Xinhua that said authorities would not loosen curbs on buyers to spur investment even as the economy slows.
While property price gains have become more modest, the overall market proved relatively resilient, as many investors exploited regulatory loopholes and turned to smaller and less-restricted cities.
