Do you think they will pass the United States within the next two to three decades or just be equal to the United States?
One other question... The other day I was talking to an old man who used to be a county councilman here in Baltimore, Maryland. We were discussing politics and he said that no communist country will ever be as powerfull as the United States for any length of time. He claimed that communist countries eventually run out of room for expansion and whenever something has no more room for expansion it implodes. He used an example of Communist Russia. Then he went on to quote Ronald Regan and say all you have to do to a communist country is "Bankrupt them"... How does that happend?

1. Today chinas GDP(PPP) is >6 T $ (US 10T $) Chineese growth rate is 8-10% annually(US<=3%) and we all know chineese are nowhere slowing in their growth rate. So tey wil soon surpass US in GDP .About the military power chineese today are officially spending 60-70 B $ on military( and now add to it how cheap they can make the same stuff . the cost of producttion in China is much lower than in US) and for US its 400 B$ clearly not comparable but with the lower cost of production and also considering the fact chineese will have GDP equable to US in a decade or two. we can see taht they will stand as ig competitors.
2. Bankrupt them is a simple busineess philosophy . in case u want to destroy some country /organisation/individual just bankrupt it ...LOL.. its wil work for any country and not just communists.The big differences between chineese and USSR is that chinese have seen what happened to USSR adn thsu frankly only fools repeat mistakes. China dsnt spend even a part of their GDP on defence than what USSR used to do.so no chance that they wil go bankrupt the USSR way(theres no cold war going on) .Furthermore chineese are not a communsit to taht extent , They are much more open minded than Soviet union. And also theyare much more integrated into the world economy than Soviet union and with a lot of multinationals investing there. If chineese fall then world wil se a great depression ( as china consumes a lot of wolrlds resources.)
