The property market's steep downturn since 2021 has led to a series of developers defaulting, leaving numerous construction sites idle. This has eroded confidence in the sector, traditionally favored by Chinese households as a safe haven for their savings. Authorities have rolled out a flurry of support measures, including cutting home buying costs in major cities and allowing local governments to buy some unsold apartments and turn them into affordable housing.
