What are some of the "Other" economic sectors?

There is no explanation of that category at the Genuine Impact website, and the World Bank doesn’t classify GDP into 4 sectors in any of the documents I could find.

I wonder if “Other” in this chart it is things like mining, transportation, fishing, or real estate, which often are included in the 3 primary sectors in other datasets. Hard to know.

the official numbers for Germany are

agriculture 0.9%

construction 5.5%

industry excluding construction 24%

service 69.5%

https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/36846/umfrage/anteil-der-wirtschaftsbereiche-am-bruttoinlandsprodukt/

those numbers add up to around 100%

OP's chart says Industry includes construction, but from my numbers above that definitely can't be the case. Can only explain that while it says it's included in "Industry", it actually is not and therefore it was added to the "other" category, just like you said

Going through the comment history, it is fascinating the amount of comments made on any post having to do with China.

Having a pain in ass for criticising the CCP is a major asshole move, "shill" is still too decent for someone like you.

Land deals and property taxes, I guess? In China, there is no private land and no property tax.

On paper there is no private land but in reality there are a huge amount of land deals.

The government is buying out the farmers and selling the land to developers all the time.

Taxes aren't counted in GDP, that would be GDI.

GDP = consumption + investment + government spending +/- (exports - imports)

I would imagine quaternary industry - research and the like - falls within it. Apart from that, no idea.
