United States Total Debt accounted for 720.2 % of the country's GDP in 2024, compared with the ratio of 727.3 % in the previous quarter.
US Total Debt: % of GDP data is updated quarterly, available from Dec 1951 to Jun 2024.
The data reached an all-time high of 835.3 % in Mar 2021 and a record low of 304.1 % in Jun 1953.
That's why she doesn't put the same graphs.

But China's GDP is grossly understated, even on a PPP basis. From your link:
Iran and Saudi Arabia may have a joint military exercise, unthinkable a few years ago.
An apt depiction of IMF:
I wouldn't say China's GDP is overstated necessarily, it's just that GDP is a monetary measure of the size of an economy. If the cost of living and prices for things which result in quality of life improvements are low in a specific country, then nominal GDP (and even GDP based on purchasing power if the methodology for determining purchasing power is inadequate) isn't going to be a good indicator for comparing standards of living between that country and other countries.
Trump himself is only 2.5 gen American, as both of his paternal grandparents were born in Germany and his mother was born in the UK.
Most whites came to the US for money during the industrial revolution in the 1870s-1920s.
They all have something in common, and that's Xtian religion. The same lens can be applied to Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos etc. that have swallowed hook, line, and sinker the ideology of peace, turned into a perverse compulsion to become genocidal maniacs.
Some of us make fun of some Indians propensity to make a mockery of themselves, and it seems that they have found some good company in the guise of a supposed military man, a retired 2 star flag officer in the R.O.C.A.
Pretty funny video by our favourite Indian host Palki Sharma. India is attacking Canada but drags China out to smear for no reason, finds an ancient photo of Xi shaking hands Trudeau to prove the point. Starting to think there was no memo for Indian media to tone down hostility towards China. Check out the comments, the hate for Trudeau by Indians is crazy. Chinese people just laugh at Castro Jr, Canadians mock him, but Indians actually have a hate boner for him.

India has pride built on a heap of shit. They want to be independent. Their pride compels them to not compromise on anything, and instead use their own power to achieve results that favor them more than anybody else. The problem is: they don't have any power of their own, nor any influence, nor anything to offer to the world. All they have is false pride which useless in the global market. As a result, they often make stupid choices, setting targets beyond their ability to achieve, making demands that others can reject without major loss. You can see this across a very broad spectrum; notable examples: joining the losing side in a war (twice in Afghanistan, once in Sri Lanka); demanding full ToT from US and French weapons suppliers (which the latter rejected); pivoting back and forth between US and Russia (ensuring both view India as unreliable); planning trade routes through Iran while dealing with Israel (choked under pressure of US sanctions). False pride left them isolated.
Dunno what it's like in China but anywhere in the West you could insert two balloons under your shirt and go to gym identifying as a woman. State will protect you even if you had a mustache.
Reminds of this recently in Canada,
