Source material from March–April 2026 indicates China’s real estate sector is showing tentative bottoming signals, particularly in second-hand sales, but remains constrained by weak demand, large inventory overhang, and developer stress.

Xi Jinping called for a demand-driven approach to develop China’s service industry, pairing reform with technological empowerment, according to Xinhua as cited by Reuters. The directive emphasizes building 'China service' brands and moving production-oriented services toward greater specialization and higher value-chain positioning.

Policy emphasis also centered on domestic-demand support, currency stability messaging, and accelerated industrial upgrading backed by capital market reforms.
