You are missing my point. Yes, China is growing as is the US.

Nope.
The US just had two consecutive quarters of NEGATIVE GDP growth.
That's NOT growing. That's shrinking.
Plus the US is swallowing millions of people from other countries every year. 2 1/2 million since Dementia Joe seized power at a low estimate.
China is not ingesting huge numbers of illegals like America is. China's growth is organic.

We were talking about population, not GDP, but if you really believe the China's GDP #s (when their electric usage is way down) of modest positive growth I have some beachfront property in montana I'd like to sell you.
