Signal China's total-economy wealth nearly equals that of the US once all sectors are counted
Summary
MGI notes that at the total economy level, counting governments and corporations as well as households, China's wealth was nearly equal to that of the United States: US households hold more than Chinese households, but the US government and corporate sectors carry negative net worth, whereas in China those two sectors make up one-third of total wealth.
