Housing Stress
CTN News reports China's property crisis has worsened over three years, with major developers unable to finish projects and buyers hesitant. Mortgage rate cuts and debt-swap programs have not restored confidence or sales [1].
Local Fallout
The outlet says land-sale revenue, long funding public services and infrastructure, has dried up as developers struggle. Debt-swap efforts trade hidden liabilities for lower-interest bonds but leave falling home sales unaddressed [1].
Trade Controls
Beijing has expanded export restrictions on critical minerals and dual-use technologies, CTN News reports, aiming to counter Western technology limits. The outlet says the measures risk disrupting global manufacturing supply chains [1].
