The announcement has led to a significant surge in the shares of real estate firms. However, experts caution that financing challenges remain amid ongoing market adjustments.

China has ended its 'three red lines' policy, which restricted property developers' debt levels, causing a widespread debt crisis. The move has led to a surge in stocks of real estate companies, such as China Aoyuan and Logan Group.
