We are live from Japan and China to look at how each country is performing economically, by looking at property markets in the countries. First of the week's China - Japan series. The housing bubble in China means that prices in certain regions are tumbling - the BBC's Rob Young speaks from Hangzhou. In Japan, Mark Whitaker is in Kamakura, telling us if Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's latest initiatives to boost the country's economy will work.
