Templeton says China stock market has bottomed
SHANGHAI, Feb 20 (Reuters) – China’s stock market has seen a bottom but if the rebound is to develop into a bull run, investors need to see signs of a sustainable economic recovery, the research head at Franklin Templeton Investment’s China fund venture said.
Pan Jiang, who will soon manage a newly launched equity fund that invests in high-growth A share companies, said he favours stocks such as chemicals producer Yantai Wanhua Polyurethane Co (600309.SS) and property developer Vanke 000002.SZ.

China’s ‘Godfather’ jetting here to talk property
The New Zealand Herald featured the International Sustainable Cities Forum in this article published on Tuesday 17 Feb.
The “Godfather” of the Chinese real estate industry is among a number of leading Chinese and Hong Kong business people attending a conference next month in Auckland which is one of a couple of initiatives underway to develop New Zealand’s business ties with China.
Among the 60 Chinese business people and officials attending the International Sustainable Cities Forum, is Wang Shi, chairman of Shenzhen-listed Vanke – China’s largest residential property developer with a market capitalisation of about US$10 billion.
Aside from his “Godfather” status, Wang has also been likened by Time magazine to US property magnate Donald Trump while the New York Times has called him a “tycoon adventurer in the mould of Sir Richard Branson”.
