It accounted for 23.2 per cent in 2022, 22 per cent in 2023, and 19.5 per cent last year.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">\u201cIt has an even greater impact on consumption, affecting over a dozen industries directly or indirectly tied to it \u2026 the economy\u2019s in a rough spot right now, and real estate\u2019s the main reason,\u201d Lian said.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">China\u2019s economy, the world\u2019s second-largest, has maintained a growth rate of around 5 per cent in the past couple of years even as a severe property crisis slashed sales and triggered deflation, curbing consumer confidence. Government stimulus, including rate cuts and developer bailouts, has mitigated some impacts, but persistent household deleveraging and trade tensions carry the risk of prolonged stagnation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With China\u2019s three most economically important cities recently rolling out policies to address renewed weakness in the property&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":468057,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3090],"tags":[3801,51,1395,156100,49054,2798,1700,156099,6333,12522,156101,1197,55313,2516,156098,3715,10741,10743,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-468056","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-beijing","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-china","11":"tag-china-chief-economists-forum","12":"tag-consumer-sentiment","13":"tag-demand","14":"tag-economy","15":"tag-fixed-asset-investment","16":"tag-housing","17":"tag-hsbc","18":"tag-ing-bank","19":"tag-investment","20":"tag-national-bureau-of-statistics","21":"tag-property","22":"tag-purchase-limits","23":"tag-real-estate","24":"tag-shanghai","25":"tag-shenzhen","26":"tag-uk","27":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115303797563378048","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=468056"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468056\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/468057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=468056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=468056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=468056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
