In connection with economic issues, Friday marked the release of significant figures concerning China's total social financing, which encompasses the nation's debt landscape. The People's Bank of China reported that new loans amounting to 6.14 trillion yuan (approximately $855 billion) were issued in the first two months of 2025. While these figures reflect a “stable and supportive monetary policy,” they also highlight the ongoing issue of rapidly escalating debt levels.
