China's State Council has taken steps to curb debt growth in 12 high-risk regions.

The Chinese government has signaled a 'zero tolerance' approach to a sharp economic slowdown.

China's State Council has reportedly taken steps to curb debt growth in 12 high-risk regions, according to sources. The move is part of a broader effort to manage the country's debt and prevent a sharp economic slowdown. The regions targeted by the new measures are said to be those with high levels of local government debt and weak fiscal revenue. The State Council's plan is to limit the growth of new debt in these regions to a maximum of 8% in 2023, down from the previous limit of 12%.

In addition to these measures, the Chinese government has also signaled a 'zero tolerance' approach to a sharp economic slowdown. This approach includes a series of rare steps such as increasing fiscal spending, cutting taxes, and boosting bank lending. The government's aim is to stabilize the economy and ensure a steady growth rate.

However, some analysts argue that China's 1 trillion yuan debt plan is not necessarily a cause for concern. They point out that the amount is relatively small compared to the size of China's economy and that the government has a track record of managing debt levels effectively. They also note that the measures are targeted and temporary, suggesting that they are part of a controlled strategy rather than a sign of panic.
