China Debt View

China’s risk profile is not a one-line sovereign story. The real scale sits in the private-credit machine, where corporate leverage, household exposure, and property-sector pressure all spill back into the wider fiscal picture.

Private credit and the property unwind

China is tracked on the global surface because this country compresses one or more of the key debt-clock narratives into a single case study.

  • Corporate leverage reaches 141% of GDP in the uploaded 2025 workbook.
  • Household balance sheets remain tied to the property unwind.
  • LGFV stress keeps rollover risk close to the sovereign story.

Why this page matters on the global surface

China belongs on the global watchlist because sovereign debt alone rarely tells the full story. This page keeps public debt, private leverage, creditor pressure, and development tradeoffs close together so you can read the country as a system instead of a single headline number.
