SGX-Listed China REITs Rate-Hike Sensitivity Data Comparison (4Q2016)

Recently, horror stories have been told of 'ghost malls' in China's cities. This is hardly surprisingly given the fact that the Chinese consumers are the most obsessive online shoppers in the world. They are mostly using WeChat app for their online purchases. The e-commerce market in China has grown rapidly to become the largest in the world over the past decade.
