If Beekok 122% Debt to GDP is bad….wait until u see the real Dua Kee ones

I don't believe GDP to debt ratio being released by China. They still have tons and tons of under reported debt in their provinces and their provinces investment vehicle. I find that US is still transparent. They are very honest with their debt issue. The real thing start with trust.
 

The Relationship Between Chinese Debt and China’s Trade Surplus​

In order to keep production growing, China must either increase investment, and with it its debt burden, or increase its trade surplus.

Last month, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) released the aggregate finance data for December 2024. Also known as total social financing (TSF), this is a broad measure of credit and liquidity in the economy that includes off-balance sheet forms of financing such as initial public offerings, loans from trust companies, and bond sales. It is the PBoC’s preferred measure of total non-financial debt in the Chinese economy. Although a growing amount of debt is not captured in the TSF data (for example, late payments to businesses and workers by local governments caught in a cash squeeze), most analysts use TSF as a reasonable proxy for the evolution of Chinese debt.
At the end of 2024, outstanding TSF was 408.3 trillion RMB, up 8.3 percent from the end of 2023. With China’s GDP in 2024 closing at 134.9 trillion RMB, up 4.2 percent nominally in 2024, outstanding TSF was equal to 303 percent of China’s 2024 GDP, versus 292 percent of GDP at the end of 2023. This 10-11 percentage-point increase in China’s debt-to-GDP ratio compares to the 8.5 average percentage-point increase over the past eight years.[1]
See , the Chinese PRC is sly and like to hide their other statistics. Just like PAP. They like to fudge and muddle up the stats.

How can one be the big brother when the most fundamental of being transparency is not there at all ?
