Q: My wife and I are both US citizens. Is it legal for us to own a home in Beijing?

A: Yes. Currently, foreigners (including US citizens) are allowed to buy a house in Beijing. However, only foreigner who has been working in Beijing for at least one year can buy ONLY ONE apartment in Beijing. Because the Chinese government warmly welcomes foreigners to invest in China, you can easily buy a house besides of the above condition.
