Zhang Zheng, from SEB Immobilien-Investment, believes that control measures imposed on the real estate industry in recent years have been effective, especially in limiting foreigners from acquiring assets. A series of control policies have forced foreign investors to retain funding operations for a longer period, thus, reducing the tendency of market manipulation.

However, Zhang also believes that such regulations are double edged; they can also limit the liquidity standing of developers and affect the quantity and variety of products in the market.
