Pan Shiyi, president of SOHO China, said in a net chat on April 1 that the widespread Chinese property market crash schedule is unreliable, adding that a market crash is as unpredictable as an earthquake, Beijing News reported Friday.

"However, the schedule deserves our attention. When policy has become a signal that guides the Chinese property market, it is vital for the government to be prudent in formulating such policies." Pan added.
