Regulating, not restricting foreign investmen on housing “China rejects foreign speculations on its housing market … China is currently one of the very few countries in the 187-member IMF without any limitation on housing investment. That makes it possible for foreign investors to make speculative moves on the housing market, which pushes housing prices up. In Germany, for example, 62 percent of its property investment was foreign capital in 2005, which was twice as much as that in 2004. As a result, housing prices in Germany soared and the public was anxious … This also is happening in China …” Quelle: People’s Daily Online.
