China has bigger GDP than USA based on PP index. Many items cost 1/4 in China compared to USA. China was dirt poor just 50 years ago. Now it it has the biggest PPI economy in the world. Why? How much money China spent fighting foreign wars in 50 years compared to United States?

Anyway, we just added $70 Billion to national debt from war in Ukraine based on your numbers. Actual numbers could be higher.

Ocare is a side issue. Just because money is wasted on Ocare does not mean we should waste more money on UNNECESSARY foreign wars.

China may have a bigger GDP on a PPP basis, but that hasn’t translated into real power - especially considering the failure of the belt and road initiative.

Militarily they are also a no-show — they could catch up, but they are still a no show

and they do not have allies beside Russia, who is also their rival
