From an Indian perspective, it may seem momentarily that China’s economy is slowing while India’s expanded by nearly 7 percent (per World Bank predictions.) Can India catch up with China in a medium term scenario?
This is where the devil lies in the fine print. The heart of the matter is that China’s GDP growth of 3 percent translates as a year-on-year expansion of its economy by a whopping $18 trillion.
To put matters in perspective, China has added a little over five and a half times the size of India’s economy (GDP: $3.5 trillion) in a single year.…
Clearly, with global economic growth likely to decline sharply and global inflation still hovering at high levels in 2023, the economies of major developed economies are likely to show stagflation. Suffice it to say that the European countries will be inclined to view the Chinese market as holding the key to an early economic recovery. Recasting the global supply chains by decoupling from China is going to be easier said than done.
Second, the US simply cannot compete with China anymore as a manufacturing country. In infrastructure, the gap is so patently wide. Ukraine has shown that the US lacks the capability to fight Russia and needs a coalition. It is no different when it comes to China.
Surely, the economic data on the Chinese economy will be taken very seriously in Washington....

The US can compete against the slums of India. If need be, the bar will be lowered.
Problem with those numbers. 18 trillion is 3% of 600 trillion. China's economy is large, but not nearly that large.

It appears MKB should have said China's NGDP grew by 3% to 18T$ rather than by 18T$.
"To put matters in perspective, China has added a little over five and a half times the size of India’s economy (GDP: $3.5 trillion) in a single year.…"
Should be, China NGDP has grown to five and a half times that of India (even with India's ~7% growth rate and China's being only 35).
Oops 35 in the last sentence should be 3%.
Nerds: impressed by numbers, yet seemingly unaware of other metrics.
