China is all smoke and mirrors.

They have zilch for natural resources, and is sorely lacking in fresh water for drinking etc.,, also, - unless they steal an idea from someone else...They are lost.

As for them taking over? I’m not the least bit worried ... because China is like Money.....it’s a great servant, but a horrible master.

This article is out to Lunch!

The Left in this country is always rhapsodizing about the efficiency of totalitarian and racist regimes like the CCP. There is a long history of this sort of ass kissing going back to articles in the 1930’s which praised the efficiency of Nazi Germany.

Wow. They're really putting a hurting on us.......I mean a country with 1.4 BILLION people need to increase their GDP by 50% ($8trillion) over the next 10 years to surpass "Trump's economy" with 330 million people.

They have over a billion more people than we do and assuming we remain constant, they need to increase by $8T over the next 10 years?

This article is nothing more than a hit piece on Trump.

I don't think "ahead" is the right term. I don't consider this any sort of improvement.

It depends on what metric one uses. If one uses "velocity of capital" as the metric, then "ahead" is the correct way to describe China. Regards.

“I was a hard core leftist in my 20’s too. Now look at me.”

Different time Joe.
You were not indoctrinated like these kids from Pre-k to grade 16 with liberal parents to boot either. Most likely your parents were conservative.

These kids will not change in this day and age. I know tons of them in their 30’s with mortgage and kids and they are bat shit crazy leftist if not more so.

fferent time Joe.

Except that I was. Read Das Kapital (Karl Marx) long before I was 20. Soaked up volumes on The Great October Revolution, Lenin, Stalin, Mao Zedong. Kept up with the machinations going on in The Supreme Soviet, The Politburo, who was going up and who has likely to fall soon. I was going to help change the world to communism.
Not sure how old you are but I know a heck of a lot more about communism than these loud mouth, know nothing idiots you are so impressed by. And I was a heck of a lot more of a radical than most of these jokers will ever be having lived in 4 countries and experienced revolutions first hand.
The trouble with young people is, they think they are the first humans to be young, rebellious and radical. Nothing could be further from the truth. To to frank, you young folks don't know sh*t. You think you know it all but you don't. You just haven't lived long enough and experienced much of anything. Most of you are just too soft to have been of any use to the hard core Marxist guerrillas in various countries in the 60's.

Agreed. Trump’s Godly miracle win in the election meant God was not ready for the total destruction of America. God gave us another chance to repent as a nation. We didn’t in my humble opinion. There has not been one, not one person walk the aisle in our church in the past four years, except a couple of young kids, 12 or 13 years old. Not one adult. And don’t tell me every adult in every church is saved. Sadly, you would be surprised at the number of adults who have never made a public confession of faith. And when the Harpazo comes, there are going to be hundreds and thousands still sitting there the next Sunday wondering what happened. Since most pastors do not preach the Harpazo, the End Times or the Books of Ezekiel, Revelation or Daniel these days, most of these folks don’t know what is coming. Sad.
