China: It's Not As Big As You Think

Neither was the USA in 1807!

True, most of Chinese are poor pheasants living in shacks are mud huts.

I LMAO when clintoon was talking about a computer for ever Chinese. Most of them would like to have heat and indoor plumbing.

The transisionals plus Mexico were interesting. Looks like Mexico is trying to grab the next rung on the ladder.

I may have misread it, but did they try and say that PPP is more accurate for comparing sizes of economies? Or did they switched from using PPP to GDP? It was my understanding that the PPP equates eating rice with eating steak, so it would overstate developing economies.

Is anoyone able to clarify this for me?

"China is but puny little plate on the large tablecloth that is Mother Russia...HA HA HA!!!"

This means that the Chinese economy has been growing much less rapidly than thought. So now for the big question: which is growing faster, India or China?

Do the Indian economic growth statistics have the same tendencies to be exaggerated, or does its more open society prevent such ridiculous nonsense?

[N. Theknow]

The common wisdom is that China's large and fast-growing economy could overtake the U.S. as soon as 2012.

Seems to be a chink in the armor of common wisdom.
