[BetterPakistan]

Japan has much better economy than China who told China has better ecnomoy? GDP Japan is much ahead.... Israel also have better economy than Iran..... Israel is here because it has better economy than both Iran and Pakistan and because of its nukes and air force....

The title is about strength/power. The big your GDP, the more you are powerful and China GDP recorded in 2016 was $11.4 trillion while Japan GDP recorded $4.41 trillion not even half of China. China GDP growth in 2016 was recorded 6.7% while Japan GDP growth in last quarter of 2015 was -1.4%. Chinese military is more strong and it is a nuclear power too.

Israel GDP is less than Iran.

Pakistan Military was ranked more powerful than Israel military in Credit Suisse report.

Bigger economy doesn't mean better economy.

Bigger economy doesn't mean better economy.

You're talking about GDP per capita, which matters in terms of living standards, but it is irrelevent in terms of national power.

By that definition, Hong Kong (GDP per capita $42 thousand) is more powerful than Israel (GDP per capita $35 thousand). And Macao is more powerful than the entire world.

It would also mean that the Congo (GDP per capita $2 thousand) is more powerful than India (GDP per capita $1.6 thousand).

That's not how it works. When it comes to national power, we're talking about total GDP.

The discussion here is about power/strength which considers bigger economy.
If it was about better economy, than Luxembourg is the best-est economy in the world
