Japan’s descent into stagnation is an infamous economic tale known around the world. But at its start, in the early 1990s, it wasn’t abundantly clear what was happening to what was then the world’s No. 2 economy. Much to the frustration of Japan’s Ministry of Finance, there was a coterie of keen financial analysts who warned that the country’s debt problem was a whole lot worse than advertised, and that economic growth wasn’t going to magically make it go away.

Fast forward to today, and something similar may be emerging with regard to China. In recent weeks, China watchers have taken notice of a previously little-publicized assessment by a former adviser to China’s central bank. Li Daokui has estimated that local Chinese authorities had by 2020 run up a much bigger tally of debt than previously realized, at some 90 trillion yuan ($12.6 trillion).

There is always a reason why CCP stock market going down so fast.🤣🤣

Most of this debt came from building infrastructure, much of which is unlikely to generate revenues sufficient to pay off the obligations. With China’s trend growth rate notably lower now than it was, it leaves a burden over the long haul. National authorities have the wherewithal to resolve the problem, but it would take a major rethink in economic policy. Without a strategic shift, it leaves China heading for Japan-style stagnation.

Li Daokui is a Harvard-trained economist at Beijing’s Tsinghua University who served as an external adviser to the People’s Bank of China early in the last decade. In October, he delivered a lecture on his findings on the debt accumulated by China’s local authorities.

He explained that one oversight in previous estimates was a failure to dig out the basis for “capital” behind major infrastructure projects, such as a massive rail transit loop in the southwestern mega-city Chongqing. Almost two-fifths of Chongqing’s broader, near-$29 billion project came from so-called “paid-up capital.” But Li and his colleague’s analysis showed that the “paid-up capital” was effectively debt as well.

America with 24 trillion Gdp cannot built 1 km of HSR
China with Gdp 18 trillion Gdp has 40000 km hsr and will be 70000 km by 2030.
Why?
Because America is capitalist country and China is socialist country. China is able to build infrastructure for the people and all the liabilities are in yuan anyway. So what is the problem?
I don't think hsr are built for profits anyway and the tickets are the cheapest in the world

The research also determined that the fiscal wherewithal of local authorities to service their debt had deteriorated by 2020. The conclusion: “It’s clear that local governments are compelled to incur new debts to repay existing ones, which is unsustainable.” Given how growth momentum has deteriorated in recent years, the debt-servicing ability is likely “even lower now,” according to Li.

-The figure has risen to over US$40 trillion, some 15 per cent of overall global debt, according to data released by the Institute of International Finance

The above topic has already been answered in Quora in better detail. "We will find that China's government debt only accounts for 21% of GDP, which is very healthy. This means that the Chinese government can repay these debts at any time without even affecting their foreign exchange reserves and gold reserves. The Japanese government's debt is as high as 220% of GDP. Does this mean that the Japanese government is about to go bankrupt?"

Countries do not cancel national debts denominated in local currency. It is not possible just because it is run by CCP. Cancelling debts will send shockwaves to a list of creditors. They include banks, investment funds, national savings and ordinary citizens. It will cause panic, bank runs, social unrests and political upheaval. A public uprising and turmoil which the CCP will be unable to control. The spillover of debt cancellations will rapidly infect the secondary financial sectors like properties, mortgages, Peers to Peers Lendinds etc. It will spin like a hurricane beyond control.

For every RMB debt, there is a RMB creditor waiting to be paid back. Debt is still a debt. And that 4 letter word needs to be repaid. It doesn't matter where it is or which country you are. In China, Brazil or Argentina , debt is still a debt.
You can also ask Anwar to cancell the RM1.5 Trillion nation debt tomorrow. Just wait to see what will happen to your KLSE shares prices you owned on Monday.

China's Long-term Economic Outlook Weakens
Bloomberg Economics sees GDP growth slowing more than previously thought

In much the same way, Japan’s economic growth by the 1990s was insufficient to simply pay off the mountain of debt created during the bubble years, based on real-estate collateral valued at entirely unrealistic prices. Tokyo’s response was to guide banks into offering companies forbearance, and avoiding US-style bankruptcies with all the social and labor carnage they entail.

Another piece of Japan’s response was to keep lowering interest rates to encourage new borrowing to fund new investments. The trouble with that was the appetite to extend or take on new credit was limited. Low rates came to be seen as a symptom of Japan’s diminished potential.

It’s no coincidence that these days China’s interest rates are also heading south. This newsletter noted last year how lower rates on savings accounts risked undermining confidence among Chinese households. Late last month, China’s big state banks cut those rates further.
