China is not just dealing with plunging stocks, plummeting currency value and economic slowdown, but it has zombie troubles too. There are several zombie companies in China - state firms that cannot survive on their own and need the support of the government.

Unfortunately, these companies are dragging the world's second-biggest economy's progress.

Finance ministers and bakers from G20 economies gathered for a meeting in Shanghai last week and the focal point of discussion was China's economy.

McKinsey Global Institute reports that by mid-2015, Chinese establishments, except financial institutions, had lumped a debt of $14.5 trillion, which is fourfold higher than eight years ago. The debt is equivalent 131 percent of China's GDP, which is 76 percent higher than in mid-2007. The figure is so big that it is almost twice the corporate debts' share of the US' GDP.

China's overall debt under President Xi administration - including funds borrowed by corporations, financial firms, government and households - skyrocketed from $6.6 trillion to $31.9 trillion in mid-2007 and mid-2015, respectively. The figure is equivalent to 290 percent of the country's GDP, and of note, McKinsey stressed this is way too much for a still-developing nation.
