Shame Greece is not on the list too. Gets all of the P.I.G.S.

Some of those stats are exceptionally deceiving. China's position is nowhere near as strong as that headline figure would let on, as much of their debts are stuffed in SOEs & local governments & then recycled around a shadow banking system over $10 trillion in size.

Yeah, you can't really trust the Chinese debt at all.

Lots of smoke amd mirrors...
Why are there dozens of 'ghost cities' in China? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiTDU8MZRYw)
Are NEW Chinese buildings really FALLING DOWN? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XopSDJq6w8E)


You all remember when conservative meant you cared about debt?
