The latest data released by the Central Bank on May 25 shows a vibrant property market, with the five major banks adding over a trillion yuan in new property mortgage balances in May. This surge led to a historical high in the total property mortgage balance, with an increase of 1242.99 billion yuan, reaching 10.435 trillion yuan. Officials attribute the market's vitality to positive domestic economic conditions, strong performance of the stock market, and the impact of the New Qing An policy introduced in August last year. While there is a significant increase in property mortgage balances, the increase in construction loans remains conservative, reflecting uncertainties in the market. The new controls introduced by the Central Bank, such as raising deposit reserve requirements, may exert some pressure on the property market.

According to a report by The Washington Post, the US House of Representatives passed a bill on the 14th that bans the sale of Chinese DJI drones in the US. The representatives pointed out that China's subsidies on drones and chips aim to expand global market dominance, putting pressure on the US and posing risks to various American industries. The subsidies have allowed Chinese drone manufacturers like DJI to hold a 77% market share in the US hobbyist drone market and up to 90% in the commercial drone market. China's subsidies in 2019 amounted to $248 billion, surpassing its defense spending and doubling the US spending, mainly provided through low-cost loans, free or inexpensive land, discounted power, and cash support from national investment funds to industries including steel plants, electric vehicle manufacturers, semiconductor developers, solar panel makers, shipbuilders, and oil producers. The US House's China Task Force plans to hear testimonies on China's subsidies in drones, semiconductors, shipbuilding, and steel industries on June 26th.
