Many people ask about the situation in China, whether in reference to the economy or the property market, and expect a one word response. China, however, is not just one market but thousands of markets and they are constantly evolving in very different ways, with national trends and government policies being mere threads that hold them all together.

Many people also ask if are there still opportunities in China's property market, some respond that prices are too high, competition too fierce and that the opportunity to make money has passed. Veteran investors, on the other hand, are aware that there are always opportunities in a country that is still developing and has yet to reach its full potential. These opportunities are a consequence of China's diverse geography, climate, culture, and economy, and they only become apparent if you dig a little bit deeper.
