Earnings from bank deposits, securities, houses and other personal or family properties.

In his report to the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2007, General Secretary Hu Jintao stressed, for the first time, that conditions should be created to enable citizens to earn income from their property. Hu's remarks sent the message that China would advance the development of its capital market, enabling investors to share the economic boom.

Figures from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that per capita property income in China averaged 240 yuan in 2006, or about 2 percent of people's total income, while 70 percent of people's average income came from salaries and 28 percent from pensions, subsidies and other benefits.
