When China does things, they do it big. To stop housing inflation, China will invest about 1.3 trillion yuan, or  approximately $197.9B, this year on building or renovating 10 million affordable apartments, people.com.cn reported Wednesday. The report cites Qi Ji, vice-minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.


The government is expected to directly invest about 500 billion yuan. Social organizations, beneficiaries and enterprises will be asked to contribute the remaining 800 billion yuan.
