Weakening electricity demand has tipped China’s coal industry into severe distress, with many mines effectively bankrupt. Falling house prices are another classic indicator of a vulnerable economy, though the exact pace of decline is difficult to assess.
电力需求减弱让中国的煤炭行业陷入了严重困境，许多煤矿实际上已经破产。下跌的房价是另一个经济脆弱的经典指标，尽管下跌的准确速度很难估量。主要房价指数只衡量要价，而不衡量实际销售价格。（其他许多国家——如西班牙——的数据也受同一问题的困扰。）
