That would be like Britain, having a problem with the US having an economy as large as their's. Despite the fact that the US has nearly five times the population of the UK.
This kind of talk is rather absurd. The US economy is over five times larger than the UK. Shouldn't it stand to reason, that if China's become As large as the US, she is still far from her potential?.
He was not saying he has a problem with a country having a larger economy than the US. His concern is over the fact that it is China, that they hold so much of our debt, and because it is a communist country that could be a national security issue.
It concerns me too, I don’t trust the goals and global ambitions of communist governments.
