> Where does the government's money comes from

Looks like many people are interested in this. Combining some information from Chinese websites, the main sources of Chinese government includes the following:

- Tax income: The top categories of tax income are value-added tax and business tax.

- Operation income of state-owned companies.

- Income from state-owned properties. e.g. A chunk of income of local governments come from selling lands to real estate companies.

- Government debt.

These may not be super accurate, but just to give an idea.
