China can test the property tax in more regions including the technology hub of Shenzhen as well as Hainan and Zhejiang provinces, a renowned former state researcher said.

The country should expand the tax trial currently running in the cities of Shanghai and Chongqing and also proceed with legislation for a nationwide property tax, said Jia Kang, who was previously the director of the fiscal science research institute at the Ministry of Finance.
