<li>In this insight, we explored the latest interim results published by key Chinese developers, and reviewed government policies</li>
<li>SOE developers outperformed, while private developers struggled.  Latest policies, including adjustment of mortgage rate and down-payment ratios, are mainly demand side policies and will take time to implement</li>
<li>The latest share price rebound is largely driven by speculation-driven Chinese investors. We think the rally is not sustainable unless we see immediate improvement of the distress situation of developers.</li>
