Australian Open 2020: What the Australia fires mean for the tennis tournament in Melbourne

The bushfires currently raging in eastern Australia have raised fears the start of the Australian Open could be delayed.

Thirty thousand square miles of land have been engulfed by flames since bushfire season began weeks earlier than usual in September, with many of the 200 active fires located in the south-eastern states of Victoria, home to Melbourne Park, and neighbouring New South Wales.

Although reduced temperatures and increased rainfall over the weekend led to the repeal of all emergency warnings and the reduction of those in NSW to the lowest alert level, officials warned on Sunday that temperatures are set to return to over 40C by Thursday.

Why Southeast Asian real estate markets remain attractive to Chinese investors

In recent years, China’s government has been sticking to the principle that houses are used for living in and not for speculation, thus imposing restrictions on domestic real estate transactions by means of limited purchase, property tax, and higher lending rates.

This has pushed China’s home buyers and investors to shift their attention to overseas real estate markets. As a result, China replaces the US and as the world’s largest source of cross-border real estate investors, according to the 2019 H1 Global Cross-Border Real Estate Investment Data Report released by uoolu.com.
