I expect the most any can do is slow or stall China......they are determined to carry out their agenda regardless of time and tide. China has great patience when it comes to what they covet.

I remember similar things being asserted about Japan back in the 1980s, and talk that we’d all have to learn Japanese.

If the US continues on the current trajectory, there may be more than one economy that surpasses ours, but trajectories do change. And places like China need a foreign consumer base to buy their products. Consumers from which countries would pick up the slack? India? Brazil? The nations of Europe?

I have the feeling that — even if this happens — the US will still be "the cause" of most of the world's perceived woes.

I’m trying to remember a long term “expert” prediction that ever came true.

China overtaking the U.S. economically, is not dependent upon what China does, although it’s a big factor. China could easily overtake the U.S. economically by the U.S. going full-bore with socialism or communism, which is the direction we’re headed in under democrats. Heck, even under republican government, socialism is still on the rise in the U.S., so, eventually China will surpass the U.S., but will take longer without full-blown socialism.

“Now the change is set to take place when the economies of the two countries reach US$35 billion each. Currently, the US GDP is around US$23 trillion while that of China tops US$16 trillion.”

Nation and State is another publication that needs to hire a proofreader. Or are they expecting both the Chinese and American economies will collapse first?

They already lead the world in completely empty high rise buildings.

Current policies are enriching China.

[cba123]

By another measure China has ALREADY passed us.

Already.

About two months ago.

Guess what. Import the third world because the third world. I would guess there are closer to 60 million illegals mooching off the country. Add another half the population paying no income taxes and living on some form of tax subsidy, and there is no one left. White people are left working and paying the taxes to fund everything and being demonized non stop has to be having an effect of white people just saying “screw this.” So while the US becomes Nueve Mogadishu, China is building up itself and telling Chinese to be proud Chinese. China is not suicidal. America is being murdered from within.

POTUS 45 delayed it by 4 years.

2 things will slow China: 1. Trade war or shooting war over Taiwan. The west will embargo China. Even a US embargo will devastate them. 2. Demographics. One child policy leads to a population crash, ruining their economy.

CAVEAT: Requires a strong US President for 1. Not Biden.
