There is increasing concern at the rise in public and private debt in China relative to GDP. This concern is across the board: internal and external, public policymakers and private financial interests and investors. Some commentators are following the path of false optimism; no matter the size of China’s debt, the second largest economy in the world has the capacity to contain the problem-so they claim. That remains to be seen.
By some estimates, Chinese financial institutions are holding up to $3 trillion is bad or at least questionable debt, equivalent to America’s subprime mortgages that exploded in 2008, ushering in the global economic crisis. If Beijing is unable to contain the growing debt problem and it were to explode, the contagion would be at least as virulent as the impact on the global economy due to the subprime meltdown in the United States.
Of all the somber economic trends underway-and there are many-China’s accumulating public and private debt problems are the most vexatious.

According to a survey recently conducted by Reuters of 945 Chinese companies outside of the banking and financial services sector, corporate debt in China increased by 260 percent over a 5-year period. This rate of increase within the corporate sector that is occurring in China is unprecedented; no other nation’s example demonstrates such a cascade of corporate debt among any other major economy over a similar period of time.
At present, corporate debt in China outside financial services has reached the staggering level of 12 trillion dollars. This is equal to 120 percent of China’s GDP, and about 15 percent of global GDP. This is a startling figure of corporate leverage in China, and comes on top of the rapid rise in local government debt in China, which I discussed in a previous blog post. There are implications of a worldwide character for this massive accumulation of private and public debt in China, which cannot have its impact in the entire global economy.
