My observation is that Apple's golden years in China are coming to an end, even though it is going to be slow motion. Apple drew about USD 55 billions from China in 2023. That is significant however you cut it. From this replacement cycle in 2024, Apple is going to face unprecedented competition in every segment of its China sales.

The forecast was lifted from the CBO for the U.S. and in China, was based on the tax cuts and large fiscal expansions (pensions, education, etc) that China has forthcoming as well as China’s slowing growth.

China’s fiscal trajectory is far more unsustainable than the U.S.’ fiscal trajectory

the interest payments especially are a soon to be moot point since rate cuts are coming and the main drivers of debt - social security and Medicare, are of limited macroeconomic importance (it will just require a headline grabbing event to make Congress move)

The graph is comparing US public debt with China suppose total debt. US total debt is closer to 400%.

As a principal, I dismiss any chart that goes to 2053.

Pretty sure it's comparing public debt with China's government (central + local) debts.

China national debt is 86%? Household debt is 60%? Private debt is the rest? add all that and you get the total debt.

Does the American one include state and municipal debt?

What about local government debts? It's hard to know what they counted as public debt for China.

I think the last time I checked everything added together was 300%.

If growth slows further, LGFVs won’t be the only ones seeking support. Corporate debt adds another 123 per cent of GDP worth of liabilities, a large chunk of which is owed by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) [2]. In addition, household debt - mostly mortgages - is 61 per cent of GDP. Altogether, China’s gross national debt is over 300 percent of GDP. A high debt burden constrains the government’s fiscal firepower, preventing it from unleashing bolder stimulus and weakening its effectiveness when implementing support measures.
