>>509730240Yea I don't know where you got your info but the Chinese economy overtook the US' a few years ago.
It's not just that though. The US economy is mainly fake, as in no real goods are manufactured. Most of the economy comes in the form of speculation, financialization, and international banking (USD as reserve currency, mastercard and visa payment systems taking a % of every single transaction), whereas Chija economy is more real.
That's why the US are shitting their pants with BRICS. Because it can bypass US payment systems currently, and if they ever decide they want to stop using USD for mutual trading then the USD becomes worthless paper.
But they don't currently because China and Russia still own a lot of USD so have little to gain in it becoming worthless. But because the west seized 300 billion in Russia's assets, every country now knows it can't rely on the US to honour their government bonds or to keep their money safe. It's all based on confidence.
