The total area covered by construction activity in China in the given period increased by 7.1 percent, down 0.8 percentage points compared to that recorded in the first nine months. The new area covered by construction activity decreased by 7.7 percent year on year in the given period, 3.2 percentage points faster than that the declining pace recorded in the first nine months this year.
