Plan to supply land for houses falls a bit shortBy Wang Qian (China Daily)

BEIJING - The central government did not achieve its goal of ensuring a certain amount of land was supplied for housing construction in the past year, according to a report released by the Ministry of Land and Resources on Saturday.
The ministry said that more than 30 percent of the land that should have been allocated for residential housing was still going toward other uses.
In 2010, about 125,400 hectares of the 184,700 hectares the government wanted to have set aside for housing construction were actually used for that stated purpose. Those figures take into account land use in the country's 30 municipalities, provinces and autonomous regions, but exclude the Tibet autonomous region and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the report said.
The total land supply for housing rose more than 64 percent between 2009 and 2010, according to the report.
The ministry said the government tried hard to reach its goals but fell short because of inexperience, noting that the first plan for supplying land for urban housing was released only in April 2010.
According to the report, the land set aside for affordable housing, small- to medium-sized apartments and the reconstruction of shantytowns comprised 108,900 hectares. That number was an increase of 42.5 percent over the amount of land used for the same purpose in 2009, according to the report.
The report also said that the amount of land set aside for affordable housing rose by 124.5 percent from 2009 to 2010.
It said Shanghai, Zhejiang province's Ningbo and Beijing met the goals laid out in their 2010 land-supply plans and that Shenzhen provided twice the amount of land it had hoped to set aside for affordable housing.
The ministry said the number of hectares provided for affordable housing in 2010 took up nearly 20 percent of the total land supply.
Of the total supply of land for housing, about 76.4 percent is available for affordable housing, small- and medium-sized houses and the reconstruction of shantytowns, the report said.
Dou Jingli, deputy director of the ministry's land use and administration department, told China National Radio (CNR) on Saturday that the ministry will further strengthen its supervision of the real estate market in 2011 and that developers will be banned from land auctions if they use land set aside for affordable housing for anything but the official purpose.
She said the 2011 plan setting out goals for the use of land for urban housing will be released to the public before the end of March, adding that the construction of 10 million affordable houses will be a top priority.
Property experts applauded the government for increasing the amount of land set aside for urban housing and for its efforts to curb the soaring price of housing.
Yan Jinming, a professor of land management at Renmin University of China, said the supply of both land and money exercises a great influence on the cost of housing.
"The government is increasing the land supply for urban housing and has tightened monetary policies, which will stabilize the property market," Yan said.

China's manufacturing growth slows in January amid tightening measures

Growth in China's manufacturing sector slowed in January amid the government's efforts to cool price pressures, a key index released Tuesday showed.
China's manufacturing sector purchasing managers index (PMI) fell to a five-month low of 52.9 percent in January, compared with 53.9 percent in December, the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP) said Tuesday.
The January figure means the benchmark index for economic expansion has remained above the boom-or-bust line of 50 percent for 23 consecutive months.
Analysts said authorities' moves to cool prices prompted the PMI decline and the economic outlook remained unclear.
Zhang Liqun, a research fellow with China's top government think-tank -- the Development Research Center of the State Council -- said the continued slowdown in the January PMI data showed economic uncertainty remained and the data would likely drop further in months to come.
The December manufacturing sector PMI figure fell 1.3 percentage points to 53.9 percent from November.
Sub-indices of the January manufacturing sector PMI data, which tracked the performance of production, new export orders, inventory and employment, all fell by more than 2 percentage points from December, but the purchase prices of raw materials rose.
"This showed manufacturing enterprises are facing greater pressure and more difficulty with increasing costs and shrinking orders," Zhang said.
He Yifeng, a senior researcher who had kept tracing PMI figures with Hongyuan Securities, said the January PMI data was a good sign that the economy was slowing remarkably.
China's consumer price index (CPI), a main gauge of inflation, rose 4.6 percent year on year in December and the full-year CPI climbed 3.3 percent in 2010, exceeding the central government's official target of 3 percent.
Mounting inflation pressure prompted the People's Bank of China (PBOC), the central bank, to adopt more tightening measures, including a hike in the bank reserve requirement ratio by 50 basis points on January 20.
The central government imposed tougher measures in cities where home prices are skyrocketing, such as restrictions on home purchases and an increase in the minimum down payment requirement for the purchase of a second home to 60 percent of the property's value.
"The drop of PMI in January was remarkable, but the decline also had a positive meaning," said Cai Jin, vice-president of CFLP. "Because the 10.3 percent of economic growth last year was a little too high, a fall in PMI data in January was closely related to the government's macro control measures and it was helpful to tame inflation."
The HSBC China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index, another survey released Tuesday, however, edged up to 54.5 last month from a three-month low of 54.4 in December.
The HSBC survey covers 400 companies, while the CFLP's monthly PMI reports measure data from 820 companies across a range of China's manufacturing sector.
Haitong Securities analyst Liu Tiejun attributed the CFLP PMI decline to the government's tightening measures and the seasonal effect of the Spring Festival, or the Chinese Lunar New Year, which falls on Thursday.
A PMI reading above 50 percent indicates economic expansion. One below 50 percent indicates contraction.
