Wouldn't be surprised if Gordon Change was just some random Chinese scammer trying to make a buck

Lol at calling me stupid and not being able to even spell debt. Idiot. And once again, I'm making the assumption that in total, Western countries public debt are owned overwhelmingly by their own citizens - possibly over 90%. Go ahead and refute that, instead of just queefing in half-assed Engrish.

So basically nothing I stated was refuted, any you again make a blanket statement and can't be specific about what I said wrong. Just another Indian.

No, I was referring to the TOTAL growth rate. That is GDP + currency appreciation + inflation. China's total was around that for 35 years, and India is not getting anywhere near that. Be specific. What is nonsense. Well, once again, you are not listening to what I'm saying. First of all...

GDP is the nominal GDP growth rate plus currency change + inflation. It's very clear I took those into acccount. Just look at the above comments. Hence the reason I said China has been growing at 15-20% per year, because I included all three of the components for growth. The point is, India is...

How does anything you are saying refute what I'm saying? Even if I magically found out that China was growing at a rate of -150,000% per annum or vice versa, it literally has nothing to do with the growth figures above (which really are simple math). But please, enlighten me... what is it about...

The LCA or Tejas is garbage, probably the worst combat aircraft produced (and I use that term lightly) in recent memory. Sorry, just a fact. Mirage 2000 would run circles around this 'indigenous' creation. The lightest, most ill-equipped, combat aircraft in service today, they probably can't...

If India grew at 17% per annum for a decade, it would have an $8.9 trillion economy in 2024, which is smaller than China's today. Most optimistic estimates IMO are 8% total growth for India over 20 years. I don't think it's going to happen but lets say it does. $1.85 trillion in 2013 at 8% per...

I actually went into the finer details by looking at specific numbers, rather than make blanket statements about which country will surpass which on some obscure timescale. Simple arithmetic suggests that India will have to growth at a total of 15-20% per annum for decades to surpass China...

Do you even logic? Going from a $1.64 trillion economy to $10 trillion in a decade is insane, which is a testament to the belief that India probably won't replicate it. The fact that China has done this doesn't mean it's performance has been overrated; it means it's probably been underrated...

Public debt includes it but is not limited to it estupido. Western Civilization as a whole owes the great majority of it's debt to itself. How much is owned by Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, South and SE Asia, and East Asia? Probably under 10%.

He's a Vietnamese immigrant to the US if I recall correctly

And yet the great majority of the debt is owed to.... yourselves. Public debt means nothing, zero, zilch, nada.

I hope to see a sequel film starring Kim Jong Un getting some hardcore anal from the Ayatollah. And then they both make out with each other as Putin takes a nice big dump on them. It is then revealed that Un was actually the love child of a 3-way gangbang between the King of Thailand, Kim Jong...

China will not be able to stem the fall of Russia, but let's say it somehow does. Doesn't change the fact that Russia is a $2 trillion economy while NATO is a $35 trillion economy. No comparison. The only reason that Russia doesn't look like Italy or Spain geo-politically or militarily is...
