High inflation and soaring housing prices have contributed to growing public dissatisfaction with their quality of life, the country's top think tank said on Wednesday.

New yuan-denominated lending in China in November dropped to 564 billion yuan ($84.8 billion) from 587.7 billion yuan in October, the People's Bank of China (PBOC), China's central bank, said Friday.

China's top think tank has said that the country's real estate bubble has soared in urban areas, with the biggest gap between market price and actual value in Fuzhou, capital of East China's Fujian province.

More than 1,280,000 cars, multi-purpose vehicles, sports-utility vehicles and minivans were sold in November, up 27 percent from a year earlier and 10.5 percent from October, said the China Passenger Car Association on Tuesday.

A new survey shows 75 percent of Chinese charities handling billions of yuan in donations have done a poor job disclosing their financial information.
