China – Individuals can no longer buy new commercial property in Beijing

Beijing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban Rural Development website lists new rules which say individuals cannot buy new commercial property in Beijing. 

Personal loans for buying the commercial property have been suspended as well. However, individuals can still buy second hand properties.
