I find this difficult to believe. Chinese apartments are not sold furnished like you describe. They’re sold as bare concrete shells. Apartments like you describe are overwhelmingly rented, not sold. Usually when people buy a pre-owned apartment they strip it down to the concrete and redo everything.

The market for 400m2+ apartments stands apart even among excesses of Chinese real estate market. Such were sold ready to live even 10 years ago.
