Chen Huai, director of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Policy Research Center, on urban housing goals

Chen Huai, director of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Policy Research Center, on improving the affordability of urban housing:
"The ideal goal is urban residents’ housing will reach the ‘preliminary improvement’ level by 2020. Whether they can afford a house is an important symbol of an all-around well-off society; China still needs 20 or 30 years to achieve this goal."
