(Xinhua)

08:52, November 29, 2012

The government should levy property tax on all homes featuring more than 40 square meters per person, the report said.

The nation should rely on economic and market forces rather than administrative measures to manage its property market in the long run, according to the report.

In October, half of 70 major Chinese cities recorded higher new home prices than a month earlier, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
