China on the rise, surpassing US?

The latest figures place China as the world's second largest economy, leaving Japan behind. Economists predict that China will become world's biggest economy in the 2020s. But Michel Chossudovsky of the Center for Research of Globalization (GlobalResearch.ca) thinks China may already be number. In terms of productive capabilities, due to sheer size and productive capacity, China surpasses the declining US economy, argued Chossudovsky.

Staying the # 1 economy as long as we can needs the U.S. top priority. Screw the wars. GET OUT.

@RonaldReaganRocks1 Are you an idiot, Taiwan is merely an offshoot of Chinese nationalists and capitalists, who fled the communists under the aegis of Chang Kai Chek. They are in effect Chinese and are currently in the process of integrating economically.

Your name belies your economic viewpoint. Face it, Reaganism and Thatcherism over here in the UK failed. Leaving us with the present economic crisis we now face. We destroyed industry for credit driven growth, which proved unsustainable.

@Sturmpionier03 Like Tibet, and Taiwan? Ask the Japanese if they think that China doesn'y hurt other countries.

@Sturmpionier03 Excellent analysis. In short, they earn it.

@Sturmpionier03 China also doesn't give money to people as humongous amounts of foreign aid. China and India each had larger economies than the US, Britain, Fance, Germany, etc. 200 years ago. They have the manpower to do so. No surprise here.
