The black market makes up only 0-10% of China's economy? I don't believe that.

It’s not really black market if the exchanged goods are legal, so the low incidence of activities considered black market trade in China isn’t so surprising. Also this maybe a reflection of the consequences of dealing in the activities that are considered off limits in China. These figures go along with informal economic activity studies where official GDP figures are compared with proxies for “real” economic activity as measured by electrical power consumption.

Funny that TIde has become a black market currency.
