China’s economy will not overtake the US until 2060, if ever

[Splurgenxs]

Lot of ambiguity in the growth numbers.

Read a nice paper on how light pollution can give a good picture on where a country is going, wrt to the radiance emitted.

US depends on China, not the other way around, you keep saying "elites", are you one of them or you just talking through your hat? can you provide any data or facts on it?

Just hang out in the downtown of your country big cities and see what wear and what use your own rich people: Western brands.

That's the key of Western power. The west manufacture what ruling elites want.

So from a ruling point of view it's not so important GDP but what you manufacture.

If you sell what rich people buy, you can rule the world.

If you sell raw materials and cheap things, you can't change powerful people willing. Some prove of this is the current conflict of Ukraine, USA can bribe better Kyiv elite than Russia. With western sanctions the money of rich people become worthless.

I do it everyday, and what exactly do you mean? How rich is rich? are you rich?

Even in clothes that is easy to copy, Rich Chinese Elite choose Western brands.

So imagine in the rest that China can't copy.



The only opportunity for China to achieve a real powerful GDP is infect the West with Huawei core networks and steal all the Western know-how.

But without it, they can grow GDP, but they wont never be powerful, because ruling elites of all world, including the Chinese, will still wish luxury Western things.

Luxury ain't necessity sonny

Nor its power
By which dumb logic you think making skirts give you power

All the western luxury brands order their supplies from China and other Asian suppliers

That means Chinese can make this stuff


But as I said the real thing is technology
That's what allowed west to control the world

And China is fast closing that Gap

It's so hard to view that World Luxury market is ruled by Western companies and not by Chinese companies?

Are so hard to understand that people who rule every country in this world buy those things and they will do anything to keep buying? (like the Russian elite begging for lift western santions).

I wont reply more this thread, it's useless
