China’s second-largest developer has claimed that the worst of the country’s record housing slump is finally over.
China Vanke chairman Yu Liang said at the firm’s annual general meeting this week: “In the short term, the market has bottomed out, but the recovery is a slow and gentle process and will take time.”
He cited a mild sales increase in May from April in first- and second-tier cities, adding that the recovery may become more distinct in June.
