A few cities, desperate for revenue from land sales, have tried to loosen policy, only to be slapped back into line by Beijing.

"Our country needs housing construction. It's what drives the economy. They've got to let money back into the sector. We're all suffering and short of cash," he said.

“我们国家需要住房建设。这是经济的推动力。他们必须让资金重返房地产行业。现在大家都在受苦，短缺现金，”他表示。
