Trading economics [1] has China at 48% government debt:gdp Household debt isn't that bad either, however the grauniad has the answer -- corporate debt is sky-high [2]. It also mentions that by this measure (Corporate + household + government debt), the U.S. is 331%. It's an interesting article, albeit from 2 years ago [0] http://uk.businessinsider.com/wef-countries-with-highest-level-of-government-debt-vs-gdp-2015-10?IR=T/ http://uk.businessinsider.com/wef-countries-with-highest-lev...
