Ten years ago an economist predicted that China’s economic power would overtake that of America by 2020. That has come true—on one measure

United States Headlines News

To gauge a country’s economic “dominance” Mr Subramanian combined its share of world trade, net capital exports and global’s formula for allocating votes to its members. His index, he argued, successfully captured Britain’s economic hegemony in 1870, its rivalry with Germany in 1913 and its eclipse by America in the subsequent decade.

According to this measure, Mr Subramanian predicted, China would become the world’s most dominant economy by 2020. In the ten years since that forecast, China has faced a trade war with America, its growth has slowed and its currency has suffered bouts of volatility, obliging it to tighten controls on capital outflows. Yet Mr Subramanian’s central prediction has come true. Based on the book’s original formula, China became the world’s most dominant economy last year .

Mr Subramanian successfully predicted how his own index would evolve. But does his index successfully capture economic dominance? Other authors have included wealth,per person and other proxies for economic sophistication, as well as scale. These measures give America a bigger edge. For the sake of tractability, Mr Subramanian’s measure gives every dollar of exports equal weight. But some of America’s high-tech exports appear to give it an economic “chokehold” over China that is worth more than their market value. Mr Subramanian thought that China’s growing share ofand trade could soon elevate its currency into a rival to the dollar. But China’s yuan has made little headway.

Yes. West killed Huawei out of jealousy and incompetency. West is good at building bombs and bullets to reaffirm its colonial value of winner take all model.

The USA, EU and allies made China an economic superpower. China still exports large part of its manufactured goods to these markets. If they really consider China as a strategic & economic threat then they must act on course correction without any further delays.

Where is the doubt?

They’re just resorting themselves and stepping back from a potential internal counter insurgency as disparities in wealth come to the surface.Only dominant if global trade buys from them snd not elsewhere.Should business have a political consideration or be purely profit n loss

Why should it be measured? Do you want to control it?

I request to charge less for its annual subscription. Here I get the_hindu subscription at a very reasonable price.

China as an economic superpower? China

Economic dominance means nothing. A healthy and sustainable society is everything. Plus having nukes to destroy all-comers. If only the United States could expel all non-European descending peoples then maybe we could be prosperous again.

this is terrible news

Epic troll with the picture. Well done.
