The People’s Bank of China reports that the combined domestic debt of corporations, households and the public sector increased last year to a level equivalent to 280 % of GDP (285 trillion yuan or 36 trillion euros), up from 255 % of GDP in 2019. When China’s foreign debt (which the PBoC estimates to be 14.5 % of GDP at the end of June) is included, total debt rises to about 295 % of GDP.
Due to the covid crisis and related measures, the debt-to-GDP ratios of many countries increased significantly last year. Figures from the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) for over 40 countries suggest China’s the increase in debt-to-GDP ratio from the start of 2020 to end of June was quite ordinary compared to the other countries. China’s debt-to-GDP ratio, nevertheless, is distinctly higher than in other emerging economies and on par with US and euro area, which have more developed financial markets.
China’s piling on of debt has long raised concerns among observers of the Chinese economy because rapid descents into indebtedness in other countries have typically led to major economic collapse or severe banking crises. Moreover, China was already engaged in efforts to bail out small and medium-sized banks before covid-19 struck, with so at least 500 billion yuan (BOFIT Weekly 40/2020) in public funds already expended. The lion’s share of Chinese debt exists in the form of bank loans taken by the corporate sector. During the covid pandemic, certain branches experienced significant declines in the ability of firms to service their debts. Stress tests released by PBoC in November showed that 10 of 30 banks were would fail even under the mildest stress scenario, which only assumed that GDP growth would be 1.6 % in 2020 and 7.8 % in 2021. The stress tests comprised all of China’s systemically critical banks.
1 the CPC is very conscious of the evil of debts esp foreign debts 2 China is a surplus country and don't depend on debt market 3 growth in Gdp will extinguish the debts....as the saying goes, as long u grow don't worry about gearings 4. The gov got tools plenty of options
Many are living the old cold war era...the new cold war 2.0 is America hegemony together with allies g7 Vs brics+..... That is reason China is investing lots of time and money to expand brics+ as China don't want to be the sole target of bullies
Lost of the most favour nation and developing country status caused higher tariff ...
You are right as a responsible government should provide sufficient jobs and subsidies to Rakyat rather than building white elephant project for publicity. Most important nobody shall be banned from withdrawing own money from bank or caused bad debt due to abandoned housing project.
You are right as a responsible government should provide sufficient jobs ................
An evil country will only carry out white elephant projects without providing sufficient jobs for graduates and cut subsidies. The worst incomplete housing development caused bad debt trap to citizens. very evil.
Smearing China is what they do all the time but they are losing it....
Africa used to think maybe be more friendly with America their continent becomes richer. That maybe true 10, 20, 30 years ago. But no more, Africa China solidarity is now unbreakable....as for Malaysia we have reach the stage where mutual respect and non interference is the best. And Malaysia don't have to choose sides in the US China cold war ....but at private level, surely China is far better than America in every metric.
Population is reducing....I think it's a good thing...surely reducing population...in a humane manner...... is the most effective way to reverse climate change and prepare for a future of AI doing all the work.
New born babies less than the deaths. every year less 20 million populations. Insufficient labor force in foressen near future. This will make the global supply chain restructuring moving faster. ASEAN Countries rise.
India is the World’s Most Populous Country: What it Means
India has overtaken China to become the world’s most populous nation, according to recent estimates. As reported by Bloomberg, at the end of 2022, India’s population stood at 1.417 billion, based on U.N. projections, while according to data recently released by China’s National Bureau of Statistics, its population at the end of 2022 was slightly less than 1.412 billion, a decrease from how many people it had in 2021. India now has 5 million more people than China.
Surely very good new for the planet if China population is on decline.... Too much consumption already..future generations of Chinese will do very well indeed
China has obfuscated its population decline for many years. Yi Fuxian, a senior scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told Time magazine that “China’s population began to decline 9-10 years earlier than Chinese officials and U.N. projections, meaning that China’s real demographic crisis is beyond imagination….”
There are two reasons for India’s population exceeding China’s. First, India has always had a historically high population, especially in its fertile northern plains. There, due to climatic reasons, it is possible to grow both wheat, a winter grain, and rice, a summer grain, yielding twice as much food as many other parts of the world. Secondly, India transitioned away from higher fertility rates later than China did because of a lag in educating people, particularly
India’s population will continue to grow for a while, however, because many Indians are now entering childbearing age; two-thirds of Indians are under 35 years. Moreover, the decline in fertility rate is not even across India’s states. In India’s populous Hindi-speaking northern states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, the fertility rates are 2.35 and 2.98 per woman respectively, whereas in several southern states, the fertility rate is well below the 2.1 children per woman needed for a population to replace itself. Fertility is dropping across all religious, linguistic, and ethnic groups, contrary to beliefs that some groups have significantly higher birth rates than other groups. Between 1992 and 2005, the Muslim birth rate dropped from 4.4 to 2.6, whereas during the same period, the Hindu birth rate dropped from 3.3 to 2.1 children per woman.
What are the implications of India becoming the most populous country in the world? To put it simply: This is India’s moment. Despite its problems, despite persistent poverty, intercommunal tensions, and the uneven reach of opportunities and education, India is a country bursting forth with dynamism, ideas, diversity, and change. With over two-thirds of its population being of working age, India must seize this opportunity to grow. And while there is still much unemployment and informal employment, manufacturing is flocking to India — including vital industries like cell phones and semiconductors — and India is on track to become the third-largest economy in the world by the end of the decade. India is also expanding its infrastructure, including constructing indigenously-built semi-high-speed. Indian culture is breaking into more global spaces; a Telugu-language film, “RRR,” recently won an Indian film its first Golden Globe award.
A community with a shared future....Gdp alone is not a good measure of success...tackling climate change and environmental issues is up there among the top.
Most importantly, India is coming into its own as a major economic and geopolitical player, rather than serving as an accessory to the economic and geopolitical theories of others. It seeks to emulate the East Asian model of pushing for domestic manufacturing over the Western-backed free trade model.
India has always marched to the beat of its own drum, but this will become more pronounced in the next decade, as India continues to implement its own agenda. An India that is the most populous country in the world, with one of the world’s largest economies and militaries, is an India that will push for its interests, values, and goals on the global stage.
India has always marched to the beat of its own drum ..
India has the largest populations in the world and labor force, India & ASEAN Countries benefits from the global supply chain restructure. India & ASEAN Countries rise.
Forget about smearing and demonising China...they are never about wisdom or truths or facts...it's always just geo politics and now war against China...war against China good for u meh?
