Land sales were down 31. 5 percent. Liu Quan may be one face of that gap.
That is one domestic source, one case, so do not read it as a national statistic. But put it beside the property slump. A slumping land market has hollowed out land finance, the land-sale revenue local governments run on. As that dries up,…

English coverage calls it retaliation for the Japanese prime minister's remark last November about a Taiwan emergency, and Beijing says so too, but the tranche-by-tranche escalation may fit the word commentator Ishii Satoshi points at: sak…
Beijing has now named 80 Japanese companies and institutions across two export-control tranches, February and June, with zero overlap between them. Not one name repeated. Somebody in Tokyo noticed what that means.
