China just told America to get its debt in order. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Paper dragon

Seems like the entire world are going through some of the same crisis but instead of working together to fix the problem governments fight kill and wage war. Instead of handling issues in other ways

[karsan]

Why don't you guys report the spamsters of china

[Rahul]

And they have the audacity to mock U.S about debt😂

I was just wondering what's all these usernames of comments over here. 🤔🤔🤔🤔 my advice: don't even read any of these comments which are posted with abusive name, have your own opinion on any news you see anywhere

You leave out the fourth factor? That factor is the large infrastructure that are money losing projects.

I believe a crisis in the realty sector is also incoming in India. The property prices are soaring high and the debt bubble is growing.

I'm waiting for the 50 cent army to put a spin on this 😆

WIon, thank you for updating us on things happening around the globe. Your are very good covering stories on other countries, especially USA, but I have not heard any stories of India from your Channel.

With a GDP of ~$15 trillion, if Chinese cities are 'struggling to pay bills', something is seriously wrong. $51.9 trillion debt

[dwaynejones]

Just print more money like the US. No 1 is going to pay it off, so what difference does it make?

Speaking of "debt", the United States is now over $31.4 trillion dollars in debt and counting.

Why has Pakistan stopped buying China properties?

[somerandomfella]

How are they both in major debt yet loaning to countries for belt and road? 🤔

[jamesdixon]

The eu and uk are having the same problem

[abhishekbarua]

after Pakistan, China is new comedy country🤣

I am surprise guangdong, there is a lot of manufacturing there and they are one of the richest provinces if not the richest.

[Singh_King_]

They are doing exceptionally well. I'm actually a huge fan of their economy and growth. Their debt is only a fraction of other countries.
List of countries by external debt
United States: 31 trillion
United Kingdom: 8.73 trillion
France: 7.04 trillion
Germany: 6.46 trillion
Japan: 4.36 trillion
China: 2.64 trillion
