"Growth in other sectors appears to be slowing, too, particularly in real estate.

"More homeowners in East China's Zhejiang province are protesting, as developers slash home prices without compensating earlier buyers.
Discounts offered to attract new buyers already set off protests at three property companies in Hangzhou last week. Homeowners gathered in the sales offices, holding up signs and funeral wreaths from May 3 to 5 asking for compensation.

"I bought my apartment for 12,600 yuan per square meter in August, but it is 8,800 yuan per square meter now. I lost more than 200,000 yuan in less than half a year. How can I accept that?" a homeowner named Liu said at a protest last week in Hangzhou, according to the newspaper.
