The OECD for 2021 shows general US government spending at 44.9% of GDP, or $31,538 per capita. BEA’s percentage is smaller because it just includes government spending. OECD’s total is larger because it also includes fees, e.g. tuition payments at public colleges.
The US Federal reserve also has trillions in corporate bond and other purchases.
China has lower direct government spending but this increases when the State owned enterprises are included. China’s state owned enterprises are about 20% of the economy.
