first: We are still the world's largest manufacturer. Right now. That's the point. And everywhere I hear this assertion that we don't produce anything, anymore.
Its wrong
Second: The financial times of london can't wait for China to surpass the United States, but I think due to the crisis, they will have to wait a few more years.
