Property development
China's largest publicly traded residential property developer Vanke Co Ltd signed a strategic agreement with the Changchun's government to inject 3 billion yuan into property development and urban construction in the capital of Jilin Province.
In April, Vanke recorded sales revenue of 5.27 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22 percent. Real estate insiders say Vanke may now focus on expansion in second and third-tier cities.
