I confirmed Chris Rufo’s claim on the relative size of China and US Government.

from CoPilot

As of 2022, China’s government expenditure was approximately 33.1% of its GDP1. This figure represents the total government spending relative to the country’s gross domestic product.

In 2023, the United States government expenditure was approximately 34.4% of its GDP1. This figure represents the total government spending relative to the country’s gross domestic product.

Many European countries have even larger percentages than the US.
