| Hi Susan, Out of interest (I'm not an expert on this): Would it make sense to ask a Chinese serving as a 3rd party to buy an apartment and transfer ownership afterwards to a foreigner (let's leave gift tax aside at this point)? Is this a practical way to circumvent the two restrictions? In other words, do the restrictions solely affect the buying process or do they apply to ownership in general? In the way I suggested it would be possible for a foreigner to get an unlimited amounts of units of properties transferred to him, regardless of how long he's been living in China. |
