How it's valued
China produces $19T a year. Weighting that output by its income group's wealth-to-GDP ratio puts its share of global wealth at 12.58% — so it is apportioned $241 trillion of Earth's market cap.
Note: this is China's share of the planetary total, estimated from GDP scaled by income-group wealth multiples — not an independent national balance-sheet figure. See the methodology for the modelling choice.
