Vanke expects a roughly ¥82 billion net loss for 2025, driven by falling development settlements, low margins and fresh impairment charges.

On January 20 Beijing rolled out three coordinated policy moves — two State Council briefings and a joint ministry notice on urban renewal — that together aim to stabilise China’s property market by boosting demand, expanding fiscal support and mobilising stock land for redevelopment.
