日本的总政府债务高达GDP的239 % ， 仍然能够避免主权债务危机。 类似地，中国拥有更大的储蓄缓冲和更小的主权债务负担（GDP的49 % ） ，其避免内部崩溃的形势远远优于日本。
Just as Japan, with its gross government debt at 239% of GDP, has been able to sidestep a sovereign debt crisis, China, with its far larger saving cushion and much smaller sovereign debt burden (49% of GDP), is in much better shape to avoid such an implosion.
