SHANGHAI: Even after the May Day holiday, China’s residential property market will remain upbeat as demand is expected to be firm during the rest of the year in spite of the tightening of home-buying rules, according to industry insiders.

This could, however, still pose risks to those who may have entered the market purely for investment or speculative purposes, they said.
