that seems ungood > China Tells Stats Providers to Halt Home Sales Data Publication Two of China’s private data agencies withheld monthly home sales figures at the government’s behest, people familiar with the matter said, stoking transparency concerns in a critical sector of the world’s second-largest economy. China Real Estate Information Corp. and China Index Academy, which are among the country’s biggest private property data providers, didn’t disclose the combined sales of the nation’s 100 largest developers for November on Sunday. The two agencies, which usually release the data on the last day of every month, were told by China’s housing bureau to suspend making such figures publicly available until further notice, the people familiar said, asking not to be named discussing private information.
