Quote:

"Sales volume has slowed in recent weeks following the government's latest
market-cooling measures but prices continued to rise. Real estate agent
Century 21 reported deals in Shanghai averaging 15,000 yuan ($2,200) per
square meter in February.

"In Beijing and Shanghai, residential prices soared to an average of more
than 12,000 yuan ($1,700) per square meter, double the level three years ago
, according to a December report by U.S. bond manager Pimco.

My comment: There is no need to read the rest.
