That looks impressive until you ask "108.5 percent of what?" [. . .] Which economy is really "doing better"?I couldn't agree with you more. That's why these discussions are so aggravating. There is no common understanding of what constitutes economic growth nor relative well-being.

Far more than half of China has a standard of living worse than many third world nations. Its ridiculous to compare apples and oranges.
Growing an economy 6 times the size of China with 70 % less people as fast as we do is a testament to our overall productivity and efficiency.
