China's Provincial GovConGDP

Government Consumption as a percent of GDP is a series that is calculated from data out of the China_Statistical_Yearbooks 2008-2015. The data is in Chapter 3 National Accounts in Table 17 Final Consumption Expenditure and Its Composition by Region. The column Government Consumption was divided by GDP and then multiplied by 100 to give a percent of GDP. The GDP data that was used is the 2010 base year data from the China_Statistical_Yearbooks 2011-2016. There is more historical data available, but the GDP data prior to 2007 is questionable and is not to be used until the National Bureau of Statistics comments on or remedies this.
