A lot of people are reacting negatively to this news but fail to see a lot of the good that comes out of it. For one thing, since manufacturing costs in China vs the U.S. is almost reaching parity, this forces a lot of U.S. based companies to bring back their operations onto the home front. In the end this will be better for our own economy.

Hell, the Chinese are even outsourcing some jobs to the U.S. which can only help OUR own economy.

The U.S. government raised taxes so high that it made good sense to move manufacturing to other countries... because the labor was cheap there. Now those other countries have the technology that we sent over there to do the manufacturing, and they are developing the tech that we didn't send. Soon there will be no cheap labor countries left to go to.

As our cheap labor countries grow with our technology, their labor becomes more expensive, because they adopt our ways.

Our economy will collapse because our government and banks are too greedy to acquiesce to the things that makes sense: eliminate taxes, get rid of stupid laws that take freedom from the people, open up every kind of home manufacturing to any Americans that want, eliminate the police state, etc.

How can you compare the economies? China isn't a robust economy; separating state entities from private enterprises is impossible, so accurate accounting is impossible. Similarly, the debt situation in China is extremely disconcerting. Folks scream and wail about how the U.S. is in bed with banks, but no mention of China literally funding and operating state banks?

This is a good point, if your best people want to leave and live elsewhere, it is hard to stay a strong economic power.

China looks really strong economically right now, so did Japan in 1989.  Like Japan, I don't think China will drop dramatically but that does not mean it will automatically overtake the USA.  The US does have real advantages such as rule of law and (at least some) individual liberty.  The US has taken some steps backward, but should not be counted out just yet.
Rule of law is very important for an economy to prosper over the long term. From what I have hear, China does not have any serious way to get a civil enforcement/judgment on a contract, therefore it is very easy to scam in China which will, over longer periods of time, hamper trade.

Only with Purchasing power parity (PPP)
But in nominal GDP it still has a way to go.
PPP makes the most sense in comparing economies anyway. Would you disagree?

Yes, I disagree. Only real numbers make sense. Purchasing power parity is bullshit. All depends on how you count this "power parity".

What does real numbers mean? What's the purpose of measuring GDPs and why would you prefer one over the other?

Take some USD, go to China, exchange for RMB, buy something there, forget about PPP.



if possible PRC  chinese prefer  to buy products aboard  eg  USA  or west Europe rather than in China since same products are much more expensive than aboard
