The report states that total assets stayed above 100 trillion yuan ($15 trillion) and total indebtedness increased from 40 trillion to 70 trillion yuan from 2010 to 2015, with social security insurance's funding gap included. In 2015, total assets exceeded 125 trillion yuan, accounting for 180 percent of the year's GDP.
