The (PPP) stuff is total BS... An nominal $86 trillion global economy suddenly becomes "worth" $136.5 trillion... because... ? The fictional $50 trillion shift (increase !) in an $85 trillion economy is entirely smoke and mirrors. Or, it requires explaining how that $50 trillion offset resulting from "market inefficiency" in exchange works and survives without the currency markets correcting it ? Are the currency markets that wrong, mis-priced by that much ? It's basically about as valid a concept as "good will"... an accounting entry "worth whatever we say it is"... applying some standard other than actual market prices as "value" equivalents. Or, since I like living in a swamp and hate cities, it means my mobile home parked 1 foot above sea level on a bayou in S. Louisiana... is really worth the same as Trump's place in Mar-a-lago ? My guess is China and the U.S. are both mutually over-stated, a lot of nominal value tied up in their relationship, the real and relative value of which is in precipitous decline... so both overstated in both real terms and in relation to the rest... but, in the U.S. I can at least calculate the ratios in biasing errors... while China's #'s are... obvious political fictions. I don't expect the post 2020 reality or trend changes will be decipherable before 2025... And, then... adjusting things for post 2020 reality... may have to wait for "other" political resolutions... once the smoking holes left by various "reset" attempts are filled in and leveled over ? For now... the nominal increases just masking "shrinkage" with inflation...
