“Guangzhou inched up by 0.2 per cent”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states Guangzhou prices 'inched up by 0.2 per cent'. However, the CGTN evidence explicitly states that new home prices in the four first-tier cities (including Guangzhou) rose by a month-on-month growth of 0.2 percent, but this refers to 'new home prices', whereas the claim is categorized under 'used home prices' (secondary market) in the normalized version. More importantly, the CGTN source says the 0.2% rise was 'unchanged from one month earlier', but the claim specifically attributes a 0.2% rise to Guangzhou. While the number matches the new home price data, the context of the overall set of claims is about the secondary market, and the evidence provided is for new homes.

“Among the 70 large and medium-sized cities in mainland China in April, sales prices of commercial residential properties in first-tier cities grew month on month”
SINGLE SOURCE
