China's property sector was around 20 to 30% of the economy (reasonably estimated at 20 to 25%), with new housing starts down 77% from their peak and new sales down over 50%, causing an aggregate impact on employment, household net worth, consumption, and industrial output of at least 10 percentage points of GDP.

Evidence Quote

China's property sector was around anywhere you want to measure it 20 to 30% of the economy. I think 20 to 25% is a reasonable expectation. New housing starts are down 77% from their peak. New sales are down over 50%.
