Fresh signs of softness in China property market
Unwinding of controls may lend some support in coming months
[BEIJING] China's property market showed further signs of weakening last month, with real estate investment slowing and sales falling sharply despite efforts by many local governments to shore up the troubled sector.

Property investment grew 13.7 per cent in the first seven months from a year ago, down from an annual rise of 14.1 per cent in the first half, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said yesterday.
