Uh, wasn't this supposed to happen a couple of years ago? Or was that when the BRICS were going to rule the world. Maybe I'm confusing this with the Japanese who were going to overtake the US economically back in the early '90s.

Maybe I haven't been paying attention and all of these things have happened.

Because our kids are SO STUPID from HORRIBLE Public School Education and Terrible Colleges!

Maybe they’ll take over the cost of defending the rest of the world too.

Hmmm....that the same year that half the population will be over 50. I wonder how that will work out?

[Jim from C-Town]

If the US further makes itself a place to do business and forces China to play by the rules: IE we can avoid defeatist Democrat Presidents and politicians for the next 20 years. It will take allot longer than 2032 for them to be the preeminent economy in the World.

Wait till half a billion people are over 70 and get back to us. Soylent green anyone?

[BfloGuy]

I don't think it's much of an accomplishment for a country with four times the population to finally match our total output.

In fact it's pitiful.

This is actually a good talking point re the recent tax legislation.

“This new tax law will help ensure the USA’s economy doesn’t get overtaken by the Chinese. Do you have a problem with the USA being second to none?”

Wait, Japan was to overtake us in 1990 . . . then China in 2007 or 2008.

Every year, we get the dreaded “gonna overtake us” news, always a different country, then always pushed back a couple of decades.

Gordon Chang has a somewhat older book called “The Coming Collapse of China.” While I don’t think this is imminent, I do think he raises serious concerns about the ability of the chicoms to either survive or make a transition.

Yeah, file this with...

By 2025 the races will have completely mixed and everybody will be the same color.

The North Pole will be ice free by 2014.

By 2000, everyone will own and use flying cars.

The world will be about four degrees colder...in 1990, but 11 degrees colder by the year 2000,”

By 2010, some 50 million “climate refugees” will be frantically fleeing from 'sea-level rise' regions of the globe...

Always something.

[Mike Darancette]

With 2 billion mouths to feed.

[Deplorable American1776]

Is that guaranteed​? If it is...I'll believe it in 2032.

[Alice-Blunt]

No chance China will over take the US, China is currently $40 Trillion + in debt, borrowed more than double the US has in the time frame since 2008, China will implode long before 2032, China also can’t sustain massive amounts of debt over the long term like the US can, the only reason China has grown so fast (on paper) is because they borrow huge amounts and build stuff nobody can afford to live in, hence dozens and dozens of empty ghost cities, building things like cities, railways, airports etc, is the fastest way to grow your GDP, but pointless as most of that infrastructure lies unused and rusting/rotting away... All that’s left at the end is one huge steaming pile of toxic debt.
