While there is no glossing over the threat of financial markets turmoil and tightening credit facilities facing China, it is important to remember that China is entering this phase from a position of relative strength built up over the last ten years. Coming from a platform of strong GDP growth, large FX reserves, limited contagion to the subprime crisis, a growing middle-class and a substantial local savings pool; China is arguably better placed to withstand the current climate and generate better returns than many markets.

With a recent slew of pro-growth measures implemented by the Chinese government to lift the property market and boost demand, China real estate market will stand out in the race among global property investment destinations.

For global investors, China real estate is increasingly part of a mainstream asset allocation strategy as they keep an eye for cities with potential to outperform and seek returns in property funds that are regionally diversified. And for international property players, emerging markets are key to business growth and no market offers more opportunities than China.

The business environment is rapidly changing and there is no better time for you to gather and engage members of the China real estate investment community in an environment designed specifically to create business opportunities.
