Số lượng quan chức Trung Quốc
quy mô chính quyền Trung Hoa thật ra rất khiêm tốn, chỉ như triều Hán, hiện chỉ có 31 cán bộ chính quyền và đảng trên mỗi 1.000 người dân, so với ở Pháp là 95, ở Mỹ là 75, và ở Đức là 53,
tuy nhiên, con số này chưa tính các DNNN (lãnh đạo quản lý cũng là quan chức cả)

…the size of the Chinese government and party bureaucracy is surprisingly modest…In this respect, the Chinese communist Party is similar to previous Chinese dynasties as far back as the Han, which ruled the vast Chinese empire with a modestly sized civil service.
…China has only 31 government and party employees per thousand residents. The number of civil servants per thousand residents in France is 95, in the United States, 75, and in Germany 53.
You will note that these numbers exclude state-owned enterprises, which in China are extensive although shrinking in relative terms.

Forty years after the death of Mao Zedong, who crushed the private sector, China today still has some 150,000 SOEs. Many of its best-known companies, from China Mobile to CITIC, are “red chip” firms. Nearly a fifth of the Fortune Global 500 list of the world’s biggest companies are from greater China, and most of these goliaths are in the state sector.

By one reckoning, the government spent over $300 billion, in nominal terms, between 1985 and 2005 subsidising the biggest state firms. These firms are also debt bombs waiting to explode). The IMF calculates that the average debt-to-equity ratio at SOEs rose from 1.3 in 2005 to about 1.6 in 2014, whereas the level at private firms in 2014 was below 0.8.

During one of the greatest economic booms in the history of the world, working-age men had trouble staying alive.
That is the disheartening news from China, where its insurance regulator recently updated a more-than 10-year-old table of mortality rates. A key finding: Mortality rates among Chinese men aged 41 to 60, who account for nearly three-quarters of the working-age population, increased by 12% over the decade through 2013, the most recent data available. This was even as mortality rates generally improved across other age groups and genders.
It could be that financial success breeds bad health habits. Disposable income per capita has risen 90% in the past six years and probably more than that over the past decade, though official government data is limited. Chinese liquor consumption—where men consume 60% more than women—has risen 5% compounded annually over the past 15 years, considered fast by global standards, according to Bernstein analysts. Richer diets go along with high incidence of lung and coronary issues for Chinese men.
