China’s property prices rose in July at a slower pace after the government clamped down on speculation to prevent asset bubbles and keep housing affordable.

Prices in 70 major cities climbed 10.3 percent from a year earlier, the statistic bureau’s newspaper, China Information News, reported today.That was less than the 11.4 percent increase in June and compared with the median estimate of 10.5 percent in a Bloomberg News survey of eight economists.
