Perhaps soon, the world will say the most powerful person in the world is the Chinese President or the German Chancellor.

Goodbye US, you had a good run.

Quote:

The U.S. traditionally takes point in the search for common approaches to the big global issues of the day at G-20 summits. Not this time.

When world leaders meet in Hamburg on Friday, China and Germany will move in to usurp the U.S.’s role.

The two industrial powerhouses of Asia and Europe are being nudged into an informal alliance to pick up the leadership baton that the U.S. is accused of having dropped since President Donald Trump’s inauguration earlier this year, according to diplomats and officials from several Group of 20 members.

China, Germany Step Up as U.S. Retires From World Leadership

We've had a terrible run, time to hang it up and let some other countries go broke.

I guess Making America Great Again was turning us to into a second world laughingstock.

China has the most people, so they are supposed to have the most GDP. Why don't you show their GNP for a change?

The GNI per capita is the dollar value of a country's final income in a year, divided by its population. It reflects the average income of a country's citizens.


Your figure/number means nothing

China is STILL a third world country.

Word games don't change that they are the 2nd biggest economy in the world, growing faster than the US, and our major global competitor.

word game? There is no game. I simply pointed out a fact that they are still developing third world country.

So being a world leader? I don't think so. At least not yet. Doesn't mean they are not 2nd biggest economy; it certainly does not mean they should be ignored. lol

I also agree with Frank

according to the article

. The two countries “should intensify cooperation on implementing China’s ‘One Belt, One Road’ and jointly make contributions to the security, stability and prosperity of neighboring countries.”

Again, it is all about $$$$$ Can't deny Chinese are smart people.

You really think they want to be world leader? No. ONLY Americans want to be world daddy and get nothing in return!
