Where did you get info that YZJ is into social housing? can you point me to the info source?
Yes, the old yard should be developed as luxury residential project with its premium location. I am referring to property development on newly acquired Jiangsu Hengyuan. Mr. Ren has plans on the new subsidiary, base on conversation during the recent AGM. YZJ's close relationship with local gov and its strong financial status, YZJ will work with local gov on urbanization, which includes the social housing.

The "normal" slots are fully utilized till 2016, the "spare" slots are slots "squeezed" out by optimizing the production process.
YZJ got itself featured in this week's Economist on China's shadow banking.
Battling the Darkness
IN THE town of Jingjiang, a few hours’ drive from Shanghai, Yangzijiang Shipbuilding is making 21 huge container ships for Seaspan, a Canadian shipping firm. An enormous sign declares, “We want to be the best shipyard in China.” It is certainly among the most profitable, earning 3 billion yuan ($481m) last year. But only two-thirds or so of that came from building ships. The rest came from lending money to other companies using a local financial instrument called an entrusted loan. This puts Yangzijiang at the forefront of another industry: shadow banking.
........
Over two-fifths of Yangzijiang’s loans go to property developers in smaller Chinese cities; land makes up nearly two-thirds of its collateral.
......
Entrusted loans are yet another fast-growing form of shadow banking. These involve cash-rich companies, often well-connected state-owned enterprises (SOEs), lending to less well-connected firms. There are so many SOEs now competing with Yangzijiang to offer loans, reports Liu Hua, the shipbuilder’s chief financial officer, that her firm has been forced to reduce the interest rates it charges from around 15% a year to closer to 10% a year
.......
How bad could things get? IHS, a consultancy, recently predicted that such a property crash could reduce China’s GDP from a forecast 7.5% this year to 6.6%, and to 4.8% next year. That may not sound like the end of the world, but by China’s standards, it would be an alarming slowdown
......
Calibrating this curtailment, however, will be tricky. Standard & Poor’s, a ratings agency, argues that reforms could lead to “a turbulent period in which funding could dry up as the domestic market struggles to re-price risk”. That is a polite way of saying that there is no easy way out of China’s shadow-banking mess.

IIRC, YZJ didn't acquire any railway company, so it is Mr. Ren personal investment.

True but Mr Ren is still the CEO of YZJ. If the allegations are true, the integrity of this person is questionable. I wont park my money in a company whose CEO/Chairman have integrity problem.

Mr. Ren donated his yearly entitlement of YZJ dividend to charity foundation.
YZJ dividend is close to RMB 1 bil yearly. Mr Ren entitlement is more than 25%, thus approx. RMB 250 mil.
Mr. Ren's remuneration as YZJ chairman is about S$50K yearly, which 77% as bonus. His pay is probably less than most people in this forum.
With that, I chose to believe that it may be just a business conflict

We'll see soon enough
It is china after all, Ren could be really innocent.
As for YZJ, HTM loans with 30+% exposure to property market is a BIG RED FLAG for me....
