Posted By hastings1066 on 06/30/2008 11:26 PM Posted By RichTig China has a better economy than we do RichTig - That statement is not true. You are once again allowing your hatred of Bush to obscure the facts. US GDP over $7 trillion (#1 in the world) - China $3.4 Trillion (#3 in the world). GDP per capita (wealth created per person) US $45,575 #1 in the world -China $2,034 #105 in the world. Real unemployment (estimated by economist who study China, as China gives fake numbers) US about 5.5% China about 13%. As the above facts demonstrate China is still a third world country with a third world economy. The only number that is impressive is the GDP, and that is only so high because of the sheer number of people in China. Facts will trump hate every time. As a side note 12,000,000 people have come to the US illegally, many of them from China, I wonder why. How many people do you suppose are risking their lives to get into China? The people from North Korea risk their lives trying to get into China all the time. |
