Wow, I had no idea. Did you find out how many people are in China by counting them with your fingers?

By the way, the UN estimates the population of China at 1.44 billion in mid-year 2020, but what's 440 million people right? It's just more than every single person living in the U.S. by a lot.

"Measured by the more refined yardstick that both the IMF and CIA now judge to be the single best metric for comparing national economies, the IMF Report shows that China’s economy is one-sixth larger than America’s ($24.2 trillion versus the U.S.’s $20.8 trillion)."

Probably has more desperately poor people too than North and South America combined.

In fact China alone, with 1.4 billion people has more of everything - good and bad.

The U.S. can no longer claim to be the wealthiest nation in the world, neither in total nor on a per capita basis. It had a long run but that run seems to be over.

Do they come with China flu benefits? Or do you get a stamp card for Number of Infected Bats before you get one free?

They come here to spend the money they made selling you maga hats, dentures for your missing teeth and the plastic testicles hanging from the back of your pickup truck.

Ooh I hope they visit someday after the country lifts the China flu travel restrictions.

It also doesn't look like the U.S. will catch up to China in GDP terms for the rest of the century.

Is “fly under the radar” the euphemism for tax evasion these days?

Probably because you care so much it crushes you. Btw, facts are not propaganda. Never have been, never will.

I was wondering myself. I posted on this thread about a week and a half ago, and just came back to see why it keeps popping up. Looks like the CCP propagandist likes to talk to her/himself. Probably because they get paid to do so. Carry on.
