Chinese government aims for soft landing
       
China's overheated real estate market has sparked speculation over whether or not
the country will suffer the same economic disaster Japan did in the 1990s, when real
estate and stock bubbles collapsed, leading to a slump that lasted over a decade.
      
The Chinese government's stimulus has helped create confidence among
companies inside and outside China, and that has benefited the commercial property
market. People are talking about a bubble, and government is taking actions to make
sure there is not a bubble. So I don't think there is a bubble yet, for the government
has taken actions to prevent that.

The average price of commodity housing in 2009 increased 20.8 percent over 2007, in
which property prices also soared. Even home prices in second and third tier cities
last year surpassed the record high reached in 2007, according to CMR report. Land
prices continued soaring with some plots sold at record prices in succession, even
though the central government has released policies to keep land prices from rising.
