Being realistic has nothing to do with propaganda, if Lake is correct than China's economy is roughly 1/2 that of the U.S, this is unrealistic, it has to be around 1.7-2 trillion, moreover, if India's GDP is only 1/2 the size of China, then were are there consumer products? Software only accounts for $5 billion in their GDP, where is all the stuff that they are supposed to be pumping out if India's GDP is over 1 trillion dollars. Moreover, I will repeat again, I do not support the communists in mainland china.

>>, if Lake is correct than China's economy is roughly 1/2 that of the U.S, this is unrealistic

The figure is from the CIA factbook, which says China is the world's second largest economy now.

One of the reasons why I don't believe China can surpass the US in any sense is because 90% of the innovations in the world are from the US for the past 20 years. You can't lead the world by immitateing or cloning other people' products or ideas, you have to be innovative. Tell me how many innovations in the area of Internet have been made by the people OUTSIDE the US.
