Group 1: Consumption Rate Analysis - China's consumption rate is only 37.2%, which is 16.6 percentage points lower than the average of 53.8% across 38 countries[1] - The low consumption rate is primarily due to a low consumption propensity of 62%, compared to the average of 92.3% for the 38 countries[2] - The disposable income of Chinese residents is not low, accounting for 60% of GDP, slightly above the 38-country average of 58.2%[3] Group 2: Income Distribution Factors - China's initial distribution income as a percentage of GDP is 61.4%, lower than the 38-country average of 63.2%, mainly due to low net property income[4] - In 2022, China's net property income was only 3.2% of GDP, compared to 6.2% for the 38-country average[5] - The reliance on interest income (76.2%) over dividend income (10.2%) indicates a lack of diversified property income sources[6] Group 3: Taxation and Redistribution - China's net transfer income as a percentage of GDP was -1.4%, better than the -5.0% average of the 38 countries, indicating a lighter tax burden[7] - The tax burden on residents is low, with personal income and property taxes accounting for only 1.2% of GDP, compared to 8.1% for the 38-country average[8] - Increasing tax burdens to match the 38-country average while enhancing transfer payments could potentially raise consumption by 1.6 trillion yuan and increase the consumption rate by 1.3 percentage points[9]
