China's investment costs, such as land, energy, labor and logistics, generally follow the rule that coastal cities have higher costs than those of inland cities, and developed cities such as the first-tier and second-tier cities have higher costs than other developing cities.
Lands in rural and suburban areas are collective property except for those that are legalized as State property. The State has the right to implement a practice of land use purchase in addition to grant State-owned land use right in accordance with the law. Foreign-invested enterprises are permitted to purchase the land use right for a certain period.
