#1 Breaking commentary from B. Hussein 0: "I.. uh, read the whole, uh, excerpt, to the, uh, article, and I didn't see anything about the Austrian economy, uh, or even anything written in Austrian, which I can't speak... it seems like it was about China instead."

#2 Seriously, I suspect the reason spending is so high is that they're dealing with a vastly inflated real estate market where it's seen as the only real hedge against inflation available.

Much of China’s investment in the last quarter-century, domestic and international, has been “malinvestment” in the Austrian economists’ use of that term; and must be liquidated for the economy to regain its health.

#5 Economics is not the forte of socialists (or recent socialist). Honest reporting of information up the autocratic/bureaucratic chain is about the same (about on par with our own Legacy Infotainment Enterprises). China’s foreign debt is all too real but manageable by the usual refusal to pay, amply demonstrated by other one party regimes. The question is can they re-capitalize themselves afterward without dependence upon international trade/commerce.
