TJ, you are still thinking in Aztec terms, like a monkey in a forest, squabbling over some fruit trees and creeks.
But in logic, which is a good part of mathematics, <china must surpass japan to get at usa, and must surpass usa to get at 35% allocation of global gdp. it is just math and the equation of time. > yes, that would be true if the false premise wasn't the foundation of your thinking. Why do you think China should get 35% of global gdp? 6 billion people elsewhere, 1 billion in China does not underpin 35% GDP without some mechanism to make it happen. VVV would be a good foundation. While China has in recent decades superseded Team USA in some virtuous values, there is a dearth of others. Genetic endowment would be a good foundation to underpin the VVV, but China is an also-ran in that department, though far from the bottom of the heap, which can be found in Equatorial Guinea and such places.
Also, in logic, if China was destined to be El Supremo, it would already have happened, which it sort of did long ago, for a short time. A bit like if the end of the cosmos was to happen, it would already have happened. How much more time do you need?
In fact, China's temporal barbarians are already obsolete, like Aztec rulers had their day. Just as US$ are being superseded. And gold is a barbarian relic. There is a new world order looming through Cyberspace. China and Ted Kaczynski see it coming. China is trying to do something about it. Ted tried but his fellow Luddites put him in prison. Unfortunately for China and indeed TeamUSA which created the zygote, the zeitgeist is already beyond their control though they can fight rearguard actions such as harassing or even murdering Julian Assange [if murderous Mike Huckabee, potential barbarian leader of TeamUSA, had his way].
Already, you are a Stockholm Syndrome prisoner, clutching your little DeVice to receive instructions, even while you chant imprecations to your Aztec antecedents and pretend to worship extinquished gold-bound force fields while genuflecting to your alpha male territorial kleptocratic megalomaniac tribal rulers in Beijing.
Forests might not make civilization, but my doors are open to a sunny, equable climate with zero air pollution that I can see or smell, and the trees around me are dropping feijoas, supporting bird nests, oxygenating the air, rustling in the breeze, and generally making life very pleasant.
No doubt life at the 10th level of downtown Beijing or uptown Hong Kong has its merits. But there is more to income than working for low pay and stealing ideas from other people. Adopting CDMA/OFDM was a good start. It will bring peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love.
Bon Chance,
