80% of China's manufacturing output is consumed domestically. Of the goods exported from China, only about 15% go to the United States. While that still represents a lot of exports in absolute terms, it's simply false to say that it's "mostly driven by Western demand for stuff".

I found your claim hard to believe, so I fact checked it, and it turned out mostly correct. Thanks!
