We have listed 115 articles relating to Chinese investment & development in Australian property, and the Chinese high-net-worth market.
Based on these headlines, the media sentiment appears more negative than positive…although the most recent reports note that property prices and auction rates (in Sydney) rose in May.
Some of our speakers at our Aus-China Property Developers conference this Wednesday June 8 in Sydney will be challenging elements of the ‘data’ that have been recently reported, which will make for interesting panel discussions.
These articles are from the last month alone, and are sourced predominantly from Australian and Chinese (English language) media.
