.......................1982.....1992.....2001.....2002
China GDP.........221 .....454..... 1,167.....1,232
US................3,227.....6,239 .....10,057.....10,039

In 1946 our GDP was $222 billion. It took us 27 years to get to $1,307. It took China about 10 with generous help from "free traders" in the white house and Congress and the American taxpayer. So who really is winning?

These numbers are in current dollars. If you want to be accurate, you should use a source with constant dollars.

It took China about 10 with generous help from "free traders" in the white house and Congress and the American taxpayer.

In the real world, 1982 until 2002 is 20 years, not 10.

So who really is winning?

Not your poor math teacher.
