The big question is whether China is in deep domestic trouble or is capital being transferred to some place(s) that are not in a trade war or some other internal problem? The US could become the recipient of money leaving China.

Well just how serious is this? On a 1 to 10 scale with 10 being very serious. Is the country in danger of large civil unrest. Has the Chinese juggernaut hit a brick wall? Is the strategy of borrowing to gain political leverage around the world finally running out of money? Or is this just a bump in the road? How much have the tariffs had to to do with affecting the economy? Is this country just a financial paper tiger?
