Zhang Yuanxu, a senior official said the local authorities will adopt a license system to the mainland investors and the appraisal process would come out within a month.
Chen Mingtong, a senior official in charge of mainland issues, said the authorities would grant the size of the land to be invested by mainland investors according to their purpose.
