>>If somebody questions your ranting you show your true color<< And my true color is what? Rational? Analytical? Data-driven? I realize those attributes don't play well on this thread. >>You took some hyped number and came up with your usual nonsensical conclusion.<< The "hyped numbers" that you are referring to were US GDP as published by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis and Chinese GDP as released to the Chinese Press by the CCP. Now, if you will explain how and by how much either or both of these numbers were/are hyped, I'd be happy to revisit my analysis. Until you can provide alternative data, the US economy will remain nine times the size of the Chinese economy. And, by a logical test that is often referred to as "the tyranny of large numbers", China will not become the world's leading economy in my lifetime, if ever, and certainly not "very soon" as your ignoramus PhD friend claimed. Show a guy a bunch of cranes and all of a sudden he loses all ability to think. By that standard the Massachusetts economy is about to become the global leader, given that in Boston we are in the final stages of the largest single civil engineering project in world history. bigdig.com
