December retail sales were only 0.9% higher, fixed-asset investment fell sharply, and tens of millions of homes remain unsold, underscoring the economy’s exposure to the property market. Analysts warn that relying on exports is unsustainable and call for a consumer-led rebalancing, with Fitch and IMF foreseeing slower growth in 2026.
