Retail sales look fine actually, I'm not sure why it only grew 3.5% despite very healthy growth in basic goods. Maybe deflation in cars and other sectors significantly dragged down nominal growth?

Property?

I was right that cars are the biggest drag on growth, also clothes, cosmetics and jewelry were also dragging growth. I guess China banning wealth-flaunting worked lol.
