China is full of debt 4》The turtle laughs and the turtle has no tail! U.S. government debt, China’s people-oriented debt

China's local governments have launched a third wave of debt reduction plans with a total scale of 12 trillion yuan, aiming to replace high-interest hidden debts of financing platforms. According to data from the Bank for International Settlements, China's private non-financial sector credit accounts for 204.1% of GDP, ranking first among major economies. After adding up the hidden debt of the government, LGFV and corporate household debt, the overall debt leverage ratio has approached or exceeded 300%. After three debt reduction operations, the costs have all been borne by the people.

After the opening of Beijing Daxing International Airport, it failed to bring expected benefits, and instead dragged Beijing Capital International Airport into losses. The Capital Airport Group operates two airports at the same time, with a cumulative loss of more than 40.1 billion yuan from 2020 to 2025. More than 70% of local regional airports are in serious losses, and the three major Chinese airlines have a net loss of 8.16 billion yuan in the first half of 2026, reflecting the intensification of the debt crisis in China's aviation industry.

China is full of debt 3》Cement shipments are one year in arrears, state-owned enterprises default on debt more severely than BYD

Data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China show that the balance of accounts receivable of industrial enterprises above designated size reached 28.88 trillion yuan at the end of July 2026, and the average recovery period extended from less than 40 days to nearly 72 days. The total accounts payable of the five major state-owned infrastructure construction giants, including China State Construction Engineering Corporation, China Railway, China Railway Construction, China Communications Construction and China Metallurgical Corporation, totaled 3.36 trillion yuan, of which China Railway's turnover days were 337 days and MCC's was 438 days. When central enterprises default on project payments, they often settle with long-term commercial acceptance bills or electronic vouchers. As a result, small and medium-sized enterprises' funds are occupied for a long time, and they need to withdraw cash through discounts from factoring companies affiliated with central enterprises, and financial handling fees are deducted at the same time. The collapse of land finance is the root cause of the new type of triangular debt. Local urban investment platforms have exhausted their finances and cannot pay project fees to central enterprises. In order to maintain revenue, central enterprises continue to take orders and transfer financial pressure downwards to private enterprises, which ultimately leads to the collapse of enterprises, unemployment of migrant workers, and shrinking consumption.
