    China is a bit different in that regard, though.

    Since apartments are pretty much the only investment for private savings, there’s a huge percentage of the GDP tied to construction. This bubble is not quite bursting, but rapidly deflating, leaving many regular people practically without savings.

    Other countries have inflated real estate markets as well, but their markets simply are not that large in comparison (percentage of GDP).
