China is on the verge of becoming a bigger economy ( if not already ) than the US,
The US has a GDP of a bit over 14 Trillion, China lags about 10 trillion behind at a tad over 4 trillion.
It will be a long way off yet. China is communist and we all know that it simply does not work. I wouldn't be surprised if China go the way of the USSR and collapse.
A Chinese democracy? took Axl Rose 15 years to burn a record about it, will take them 10 times that to become a free market that can compete with the west.
Even Japan is still a bigger economy than China!
