China hopes to complete 5 million units of low-income housing this year and start construction of another 7 million units as part of an effort in improving people\'s living conditions, according to a government work report delivered by Premier Wen Jiabao at the parliament\'s annual session Monday. \"We will work speedily to improve the system for constructing, allocating, managing, and recalling low-income housing units,\" Wen said in the report. In 2011, China completed 4.32 million units of low-income urban housing and began construction on a further 10.43 million units, according to the report. Wen said China will implement and improve policies and measures to discourage speculative or investment-driven housing demand, and further regulate the real estate market. In the meantime, China will \"reform the real estate tax system to promote long-term, steady, and sound growth of the real estate market,\" Wen said.
