China is on the way to becoming the most powerful country in the world. Think about that...

The per capita GDP for China is about $5400/year. The per capita GDP for the USA is about $48,000/year.

The Chinese are not going to catch up to us in the foreseeable future if ever. The reason: they will never reach the level of productivity of the American worker. At least not in our lifetimes.

Your so naive.

We are giving them our know-how and factories. They will catch us economically faster than you think.

Not a single economist thinks the USA will have the worlds largest economy in 20 years. We did this to ourselves. It’s amazing to me that people are still in denial about this.

The only thing that can prevent this now is political instability, which is possible.

There is a Freeper on this very thread who thinks the Chinese GDP is ten times ours.
