Despite the richness of policy tools, the need to stabilize the market remains crucial due to external economic uncertainties and internal industry pressures [1].

This includes enhancing asset revitalization efforts and guiding orderly corporate restructuring, which is crucial for stabilizing risks and supporting future capacity recovery [11]. - Innovative liquidity supply mechanisms should be explored, including the development of a distressed asset disposal ecosystem and the promotion of a multi-tiered REITs market to support asset revitalization [5][12]. - Establishing a trading mechanism for land use rights between regions could address the "human-land mismatch" issue in China's real estate market, promoting a more effective balance of supply and demand [17].
