Is China cooking its GDP numbers? I don’t know. But the US surely is. China’s electricity consumption is now 8MWh/capita, vs. 3MWh/capita in 2010. That’s proportional to the increase in China’s reported real GDP. The US is at 13MWH/capita, unchanged from 2010. We have a lot more GDP in the US, but less industrial production than in 2008. “Real” personal consumption expenditures for health care are at $2.8 trillion 2017 dollars, almost double the 2010 level. That’s 18% of our GDP! But are we really consuming twice as much in health care services?
