GP lists overall hospital beds per people, which includes ICU beds but also encompasses the "normal" beds, e.g. for people recovering from routine procedures, kids with broken legs etc. So the US has 277 hospital beds per 100k inhabitants, of which 20-31.7 are intensive care beds. China has 434 hospital beds per 100k inhabitants, of which 2.8-4.6 are intensive care beds. I'd say overall this may be one factor for assessing quality of healthcare, but also explains the respective system's focus on ambulant vs. stationary care.
