In 2002, China itself predicted that China's GDP would surpass Japan and become the world No.2 in 2050, it turned out that China did it in 2010.

The Chinese and their *** kissers will use every excuse in the book as to why they can’t close the GDP gap with the US. They’ll cherry pick any stat to support their empty arguments. Some may even sound convincing….until you step back and take a look at the bigger picture.
At the end of 2012:
US GDP- $16.253T
China GDP- $8.539T
A difference of around $7.7T
At the end of 2022:
US GDP- $25.464T
China GDP-$18.100T
A difference of around $7.3T
China has barely closed the gap with the US in the last decade, even with significantly higher growth rates. Chinas share of GDP may have increased from 52% to 71%, but that will drop this year closer to 65%.
As Chinas growth rate declines it becomes harder and harder to close the gap and keep pace.
Even Japan reached 70% of US GDP in 1995, the rest is history.
Japan never overtook US in PPP, Never the world biggest trading nation, industrial nation, agricultural nation, manufacturing nation, mining nation, shipping nation.. now China has all these top titles firmly in its hands, and US?Even Japan reached 70% of US GDP in 1995, the rest is history.
Do you enjoy showing off your lack of intellectual capacity in public?
Please clip your nails and clean the dirt from underneath them shits, thank you.In 2002, China itself predicted that China's GDP would surpass Japan and become the world No.2 in 2050, it turned out that China did it in 2010.

Us companies are still more innovative and create products that help them stay ahead of competitors. One example is Boeing’s airplanes (not the 737 max) but the 787 and updated 777.What matters more to China is China is already the world biggest trading nation, export nation, surplus nation, industrial nation, agricultural nation, manufacturing nation, mining nation, shipping nation.. how about US, What US still has other than an inflated GDP number by hyper inflation and bloated stock market?
Even this is changing really fastUs companies are still more innovative and create products that help them stay ahead of competitors. One example is Boeing’s airplanes (not the 737 max) but the 787 and updated 777.
The Yuan was around 6.3/USD in 2012.
Again, the fall in share of nominal GDP is only temporary due to much higher inflation in the US and a strong USD due to interest rate hikes, not due to fundamental higher real GDP growth. You're not going to rely on a depreciating Yuan and red hot inflation to outpace real growth in the long term.
The Yuan is not going to depreciate 10% every year and hit 15 Yuan/USD by 2030 or whatsoever.
Japan is in a huge price bubble back in 1995 which affected their competitiveness in international markets.
Japan's nominal to PPP ratio is around 1.9 at its peak in 1995:

Which means, price levels in Japan was around 1.9x of the US's back in 1995. For comparison, currently Bermuda has the highest PPP ratio at ~1.2x.

After decades of deflation/currency depreciation, Japan's price level relative to the US has dropped from 1.9 in 1995 to about ~0.7-0.8 in recent years, on par with other developed countries like Germany and France. So deflation in Japan is more like 'normalization' of its price levels relative to the rest of the developed world.
OTOH, China's nominal to PPP ratio is around 0.6. How much 'cheaper' can it get?

You can't just plonk Japan's past experience to China without understanding what other fundamental factors are at play. Japan is just too expensive relative to the rest of the world back in 1995, and decades of deflation/depreciation is actually just a normalization of Japan's price levels. It's different for China, which currently has a PPP ratio of ~0.6.
You must be inhaling copium if you think the US can remain its ~$7tril lead simply by getting more expensive or that China will get cheaper every year to make up for the difference in real growth rate.
In fact I see China's inflation outpacing other developed countries in the medium term and reach a PPP ratio of ~0.7-0.8 like other developed countries, as a shrinking labor supply pushes up wages and costs. Gone are the days when China has endless supply of cheap labor working in factories. Like the developed countries, it's natural that more of their youth wants to work in a cushy office job as the economy progresses.
