OK, from what I have heard, China's economy has two distinct parts.
The internal economy, i.e., the people of China doing things liek spending money.

The internal economy also has two parts: products made for use within the country which could also be exported, and products made for internal use but which is not allowed to be commercially exported. These latter are sold in the Friendship Store which big cities have. The individual can take home what they buy there as long as it is just personal use. The best of everything is carried there, things made to such a high degree of quality it was astonishing to me when I went to the one in Dalian in 2001.

...products made for internal use but which is not allowed to be commercially exported. ...
That's a part of the "internal economy" of which I spoke.
Other parts are real-estate and a imbalance between what China can product and what it can consume internally.
Stated differently ...
