  BEIJING, Beijing, May 5 (Reporter Li Jinlei) Chen Zhenggao, the former governor of Liaoning Province, recently assumed the post of Party Secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the Communist Party of China. The analysis points out that Chen Zhenggao, who has been in politics in Liaoning Province, took office as the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development earlier, which means that the focus of the housing and urban-rural development department may be more inclined to shantytown reconstruction.

  Chen Zhenggao Lvxin Housing Construction Department

  "Comrade Chen Zhenggao was appointed Party Secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the Communist Party of China, and Jiang Weixin was removed from the post of Party Secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the Communist Party of China." The above news released by the website of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development on May 4 attracted attention.

  Who is the new "head" of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development? According to the public resume, Chen Zhenggao was born in Haicheng, Liaoning Province in 1952. He has been working in Liaoning Province since he joined the work in December 1970. Since 2008, he has served as deputy secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee, governor of the provincial government and secretary of the party group.

  It is worth noting that from 2004 to 2007, when Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China was the secretary of Liaoning Provincial Party Committee, Chen Zhenggao was the deputy secretary and mayor of Shenyang Municipal Committee. During his tenure in Liaoning Province, Li Keqiang vigorously carried out housing renovation in shanty towns and industrial and mining mined-out areas. After Chen Zhenggao became the governor of Liaoning Province, he also carried out a large-scale shantytown renovation throughout the province.

  "Liaoning is the earliest province in China to carry out shantytown renovation, with the largest scale, quantity and area of renovation every year, and it has more experience in shantytown renovation." Zhao Luxing, a researcher at the Policy Research Center of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, pointed out in an interview with Zhongxin. com that Chen Zhenggao, who has been in politics in Liaoning, went to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development this time, which obviously will contribute to the promotion of shantytown renovation.

  Yuan Gangming, a researcher at the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Tsinghua University China and World Economic Research Center, also told the reporter of Zhongxin.com that as the old department of Li Keqiang, Chen Zhenggao should better understand and implement Li Keqiang’s ideas on real estate regulation.

  Or pay more attention to shantytown renovation.

  "shantytown renovation" has become a key word behind public concern about this personnel change. The analysis pointed out that Chen Zhenggao’s appointment as the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development may send a signal that the housing and urban-rural development department will pay more attention to shantytown renovation.

  In fact, the new government pays special attention to the transformation of shanty towns. On many occasions, Li Keqiang emphasized the deployment of relevant work on shantytown renovation.

  On June 26th, 2013, Li Keqiang presided over the the State Council executive meeting to study and deploy the plan to speed up the transformation of shanty towns, and put forward the transformation of shanty towns as a new economic growth point. The meeting decided to rebuild 10 million shanty towns in cities and state-owned industrial and mining areas, forest areas and reclamation areas in the next five years, including 3.04 million in 2013.

  Zhao Luxing said that the renovation of shanty towns can be described as "killing three birds with one stone". It is not only a livelihood project, but also can solve the housing problem of people in difficulty, effectively stimulate investment, promote the development and employment of upstream and downstream industries, promote economic growth, and at the same time change the serious dilapidated or insufficient infrastructure in the old city, and improve the level and function of the city.

  "The biggest problem in shantytown renovation is the balance of funds." Zhao Luxing pointed out that shantytown renovation not only solves the housing problem, but also solves the problem of dilapidated infrastructure shortage in old urban areas. However, the vast majority of families belong to low-and middle-income families, and their housing payment ability is relatively poor. Moreover, urban shantytown infrastructure is particularly in debt, and the investment in gas management, communication, roads, education and medical public service infrastructure construction is relatively large, which is the biggest bottleneck faced by shantytown renovation.

  Thoughts or changes of real estate regulation and control

  Another analysis pointed out that Chen Zhenggao’s new Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development may mean that the government’s hand may gradually withdraw from the market, focusing on the supervision of shantytown renovation, a livelihood and development project.

  "The government should mainly manage the groups with insufficient housing payment ability." Zhao Luxing said that on the one hand, it is to solve the problem of bottoming for groups that basically have no housing payment ability, such as the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled; On the one hand, it is to solve the housing problem of "sandwich class" groups, including young people who have just been employed for a short time but have insufficient ability to pay for staged housing, migrant workers and so on.

  Zhao Luxing pointed out that at present, the housing problem of the "sandwich layer" is more prominent, which requires a solution. After the above two problems are solved, they should be handed over to the market and let the market play a decisive role in allocating resources.

  Regarding the regulation of the real estate market, this year’s government work report pointed out that it is necessary to classify and regulate according to different urban conditions, increase the supply of small and medium-sized commercial housing and shared property housing, curb speculative investment demand, and promote the sustained and healthy development of the real estate market.

  According to experts, Chen Zhenggao should actively promote this policy after taking up the new Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. In short, it is to adopt differentiated policies according to the demand characteristics and housing conditions of various places.

  It is an old saying that Chen Zhenggao believes in "emphasizing deeds but not words". The public expects that the new head of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will inject more positive factors into the rational return of housing prices and the healthy operation of real estate in China.
